Fairchild Botanical Garden : Ayaiza + Frank Day After Wedding Pictures
Ok, so I have to admit, I was a little nervous about this photo shoot. We arrived at the beautiful Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Coral Gables, a little bit before four o’clock. From the moment I saw it, I fell in love with it. The scenery was simple breathtaking. The kind of place I could roam for hours, and not be bore about. I was starting to see the possibilities. Then, reality hit; we were told the garden closed at 4:30PM, so I had a little more then half... Read The Rest →
Ayaiza and Frank Pre- Wedding Pictures
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful little princess, named Ayaiza, who loved to show off her castle. She lived in Cuba and dreamed of finding true love and living happily ever after.

She has found true love, and I’m sure they will both live happily ever after. Frank is absolutely right when he describes... Read The Rest →
I love New York City
It was pouring outside, and I was debating whether or not I should go to the city to a Photographers seminar sponsored by Photoshelter and Adorama. To attend or not to attend, that was the question. Finally, I decided to get out, confront the wind, rain and the cold, and I headed to the city. A bus and a subway ride later, I was home. The water dripping on the entrance to the subway, the sound of the train making its way downtown, people rushing during peak hours, the taxis,... Read The Rest →
My two cents for DIY brides – Part 1
Ok, so my friend’s sister comes to visit me to discuss my wedding photography services. Suddenly, I have a flashback to when I first saw her.

Happy Valentine’s Day
I want to wish anyone who reads this post today a Happy Valentine’s Day. Six years ago, I received a terrific present, an engagement ring. It was sweet and romantic; I said yes, and six months later, Danny and I were married.

West New York Sweet Sixteen : Christina
I believe I have said it before on this blog. I love my job. I love being part of a family’s special day, capturing their memories, and handing them an album that I hope they will cherish until they’re 90 years old. It is a bonus when my girls and their family are as nice as it is the case of Christina and her family. Christina is the sweetest girl, and she has no idea of how beautiful she is. She is just gorgeous. Christina’s mom Leida was so amazing... Read The Rest →

Nicest e-mail
On November, we were lucky to photograph and film David and Luisa’s wedding. And when I say lucky, I mean it. Luisa looked amazing; her figure looked spectacular with a killer dress, and her hair and make-up were flawless. David also looked great in his a black tux. So besides the light rain, I can say photographing them was a breeze. Today, they sent us one of the nicest emails after they saw a slide-show of their wedding album, and I have to share it with you. “Gabriella!!! Our mouths... Read The Rest →
