This wedding is the first one for 2009. Vivian’s story is a long one, if you saw the movie 27 Dresses then you know how she felt. She and her dad own J. Del Olmo Bridal Gallery and Couture (the best gown store on the Miracle Mile) and I know that she has helped many brides find their gowns. She has also been a bridesmaid to at least 13 weddings. With all that said, you can only imagine the joy and emotions that happened at this wedding. This was an amazing Cuban wedding. There is no place like Miami… love shooting weddings here.
I’ve known Vivian for many years and I was so honored when she asked me to shoot her wedding. Both Vivian and Bill are amazing people. Here are some of my favorites.

Let’s be honest, besides my woman, I think Latin women are the most beautiful. Here is proof.
Close to 400 people. I had to fight for a spot. Everyone was in the aisle taking pictures.
Is that Bill wiping a tear? Something must have gotten in his eye.
