Alexis & Izzy

post written on 27 Feb 12 in Weddings

Two weeks before the wedding I was speaking with Ana, Alexis’ mom, and she brought up one concern she had. I asked, is it about photography? “No,” she said. It was something that I thought was so sweet, she said, “I hope you can feel the love.” I thought to myself, I know Alexis and Izzy, they are very much in love. She then clarified and said, “No, I know they love each other, but with 425 guests, will you be able to feel the love with so many people attending?” I reassured her that it will feel as intimate as if it was held in her back yard. I think you can agree that from these pictures you feel the love by ALL. Ana and Steven Weissman, you put together an amazing wedding!
I always saw Alexis on our local Fox affiliate news, Channel 7, where she was covering serious stories. Now she’s an anchor too. I thought that she wouldn’t laugh at my jokes, not only did she, she had me laughing at hers. She looked amazing in her Monique Lhuillier dress. Izzy is always joking, but my only concern was whether I could step up to the plate and deliver images to his standards. Not only does Izzy run Magic City Casino along with his family (which they own) but he is a SERIOUS art and photography collector. In his collection to name a few are Henri Cartier-Bresson, Clyde Butcher (ghost orchid), Michael Carlebach, and a bunch of up and coming photographers as well. Izzy said my photographs will now be hanging along side his collection, next to the Bresson, that’s so awesome. I’m honored.

I have to thank both families, Weissman and Havenick, for letting me be a part of it all. It is the second Havenick son wedding  I’ve photographed in the past year. Also thanks to my whole team for great support as usual. Vendors: Location Mandarin Oriental Miami Planner Sara Renee Events   Florist Karla Pascal from Karla Conceptual Events Band Libido

It’s simple. She’s a lovely, amazing woman, and model. For me, it starts with the woman believing, in herself, the rest falls into place. Confidence.

Daniela & Michael in Antigua, Guatemala

post written on 02 Feb 12 in Weddings

Here is a just a quick post of Daniela and Michael’s wedding this past weekend in Antigua, Guatemala. It was awesome. Also, what a lovely email to receive this morning from them before they leave to Thailand on their honeymoon.

Subject: Thank You!!!

Date: Thu 02/02/12 10:17 AM

Hi Carlos,

Michael and I just wanted to thank you again for being a part of our wedding weekend! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or person. Your energy and enthusiasm for what you do is infectious. Everyone at our wedding had nothing but good things to say about you, my bridesmaids especially :) Your warmth and joyful disposition are what we love most about you and so having you there on our big day was more than a blessing to us. We can’t believe how fast the weekend went and how beautiful it all was. We are overwhelmed with feelings of happiness and are forever grateful for all the love. We can’t wait to see the pictures!

Its clear to us that awesome people attract awesome people, so it was only natural that both Roberts’ (Evans and Madrid) would be amazing too :) They were both so great.

Thanks so much Carlos!

Daniela and Michael

    Hey Carlos, I honestly have to say that I think this is my favorite set of wedding images I have seen from you (and that’s saying something)! I love the mix of classic B&W processing, spot on color, and the timeless feel, yet containing just enough of a modern touch. Bravo to the three of you, I’m sure the couple will be beyond thrilled with the images and it’s certainly apparent on their thoughts of you!

    Carlos,

    These pictures are absolutely stunning!! Daniela is one of the most beautiful people I know, and I’m so happy to see that you captured that in your photos. Thanks for being such a blast at the wedding and for making everyone feel so comfortable and at ease. It was a pleasure!

    Best,
    Natalie R.

Fueled by Cinnamon Buns…

post written on 23 Nov 11 in Cycling, personal

This was a sort of farewell ride with my good friend Jason, last week. He and his wife Mel are moving back to Louisiana to be closer to family, I totally relate. Cycling has brought me life long friendships with my core best friends. There is nothing like sharing a 50 mile ride with one of your best friends. Jason and Mel, the Baez family will miss you. Jason, hopefully our next ride are on some roads you grew up on in Louisiana. Glad I can share as much time with you as I have. If not Louisiana or Florida, I’m sure there is some mountain in the south of France that has our name it, in the future. Pics by Jason and I with our GoPro cameras through the back roads of South Dade County. Stops at Robert is Here
Fruit Stand
and Farm, and Knauss Berry Farm for a good cinnamon bun, you should try it.

Lauren and A.R.

post written on 07 Oct 11 in Weddings

It’s great when you feel like part of the family. I’ve known Lauren and A.R. since I photographed his sister Paige’s wedding 3 years ago. Having the bride and groom’s son Trip be a part of the wedding made it even more special for all. It was a celebration ALL night long.
I am looking forward to more events with the family for years to come. Of course, the bride’s beautiful dress is from Camille Thiry Russler at Ever After Miami.
