Samantha + Yasmany's Wedding Photos Highlights | Watermark Church- Seminole Heights Garden Center | Tampa, FL | May, 2015

Here's a little taste of Samantha and Manny's wedding at the beautiful Seminole Heights Garden Center. Their ceremony had everything from laughs to heartfelt moments from both the bride and groom and their guests. One of my favorite moments was the opportunity that a few of their guests had to go up and pray for Sam and Manny. It was truly a demonstration for community.

Wanna show some love for the couple? Couple below with your favorite moment.

P.S. They had a lot of cookies.

Fabian+Anggie| Beach Engagement| Tampa, FL | May 2nd, 2015

Fabian and Anggie's story is one that truly crosses cultures and distance. Fabian came to the US in 2013 to visit his family (My sister, my mom and I) and Anggie has been a friend of the family for over 13 years, so they met thorough us. I remember that they were literally inseparable while he was here. Their friendship soon turned into a long-distance relationship and the traveling started... Anggie would travel to Colombia to see him and Fabian would come to the US to spend time with us and Anggie.

They have developed a  beautiful relationship and now are engaged after a romantic proposal. They were already talking about marriage and I know both were praying constantly to figured out if they were moving the right direction. After a while, Fabian felt that God was telling him to propose to Anggie and decided to do it while out on a beautiful ranch. He got in one knee and gave Anggie an engagement ring full of significance.

Now, I'm going to have to pull double-duty on their wedding day... I'll be the best man and the photographer! #selfietime

I believe they will make a wonderful husband and wife and will live their lives in such an exemplary way. I know they will live to serve other... What do you think will make the two of them special?

Sam+Manny | Bok Tower Gardens Engagement| Lake Wales, FL | March 14th, 2015

When Sam and Manny approached me wanting me to do their wedding photos and their engagement photos at Bok Tower Gardens, I had to contain my excitement a little bit :). See, last year I had the chance to shoot a wedding there for Yaniel and Ashleigh and I could not wait to go back.

The idea of doing the engagement session here came from their actual engagement day. Next time you see Manny ask him the details, but in a nutshell, let's just say that he couldn't wait to ask Sam to marry him and he proposed before going to their date at Bok Tower Gardens.

We finally were able to coordinate a date and we drove from Tampa in order to get there in the late afternoon. The drive also gave me a little glimpse into their relationship and how loving they are towards each other. What I like about them is that they're aware of the challenges of married life and they're taking the steps necessary to make sure they have a healthy marriage form the beginning.

They're getting married at then end of May, so join me in wishing them well for the wedding planning and wedding day.

Love on them by sharing one of your favorite memories you have with them in the comments below.

Swoon over the rest of the photos here.

Agustina+Arnaldo | Vinoy Park Engagement| St. Petersburg, FL | March 7th, 2015

Here's the moment you've been waiting for! Agustina and Arnaldo's engagement photos. Agustina is from Argentina and Arnaldo from Peru, which makes me think that their kitchen must filled with amazing food all the time. One day some chaufa and another day some churrasco... I shouldn't written this blog on an empty stomach.

Agustina's brother introduced them while hanging out at a bowling alley a few years ago. Arnaldo was quickly mesmerized by her eyes and asked her out in January of 2011. Since then, they have been almost inseperable. Even when Arnaldo decided to propose, he wanted to make sure that he could ask Agustina's dad for her hand. In a very chivalrous way, he gathered both of the families and  asked Agustina to marry him.

I asked Agustina about the things she loved about Arnaldo, she quickly mentioned the way he's protective about the people he loves and the way he makes feel good.

They have a beautiful story and I can't wait to join them in their wedding in less than a month.

Enjoy the photos and don't forget to comment with your best memories of them!
