Orlando Wedding Photographer
Posted on July 30, 2010
I had the privilege of being chosen to photograph the wedding of Andre and Eutora. As soon as I stepped foot onto the premise of The Grand Bohemian Resort in Orlando, FL, my mouth dropped. Of course I am biased since my favorite color is indeed red and the entire hotel is adorned with the colors: Red, Gold, Purple, and Black. Every hallway is decorated with various paintings, some dating back to the 1800′s.
The rooms were just as gorgeous with their dark wood finishes and city views. Here are just some of my favorite images, mostly portraits of course. When you have a hotel as gorgeous as this one with as many rooms and props to work with…it is REALLY hard not to have at least five or six absolutely FAVORITE images to showcase!! I mean check out the elevator!!!

Wedding Dresses for under $500!!
Posted on July 27, 2010
Times are tough and there are many brides who are starting to become savvy with their wedding shopping. I had a friend come to me this morning who knew of someone with an upcoming wedding who needed a wedding dress for under $500. She had been turned away from bridal shops informing her that her budget was too small and they were not willing to work with her. This actually aggravates me to some extent. Instead of shooing someone away how about letting them know of their options? Maybe in the future, based on how kind and helpful you were, she actually might refer you to her friends and family for their own wedding. So even though this shoppe owner did not make money off of this specific bride, they might make double the money off of referrals.
Any way, I did a quick search on the infamous Craigslist and found an entire page of couture and designer dresses locally for under $500!!!! There is one dress that is just GORGEOUS and is only $275!!! Sometimes, especially during these tough times in the economy, you have to become creative and savvy in your wedding planning. I have had brides who have set their dates for after holidays because of the STEEP discount they get on decor and I have had other brides who have searched the online classifieds for dresses that were 75% off the regular price and no one knew the difference.
So if you can, search Craigslist, google it, and bargain hunt like crazy!! No shame to saving some extra money!!
Sample Dress from a Craigslist ad: Pronovias Wedding Dress $275

So I have decided to start posting these items onto my blog. If you have any left over decor or centerpieces from your recent wedding and need to sell them, please email me to have your items posted on my blog for hundreds of brides to see.
