Islamorada to be exact.
I was honored that Nikki chose to have me down to the keys where Johnny’s parents have a place (the “E-State” as they call it) on the bay side of Islamorada. It really isn’t just “a place”, it’s a beautiful plot on the water with palms and a nice breeze to match. The “bay side” means sunsets and lots of them. This past weekend Chris & Katie Torres flew down with me to experience not only a beautiful sunset but a beautiful wedding too. It was rough sitting in the Tiki Bar Sunday afternoon sipping margaritas listening to the ocean breeze on a 78 degree day. Rough.
Date: April 28, 2007
Location: The E-State, Islamorada, FL
Coordination: Swept Away Destination Wedding Consultants

So while the E-State was having the last touches put on it and Katie and I were off shooting Nikki & Johnny, Chris managed to find his way atop the house where he was able to get overview of their westward view.
By the time we got back the pre-wedding jitter cocktails were underway and Katie was on hand to capture it.
Congratulations again to Nikki & Johnny and don’t forget to watch the slideshow!!!
Talk to you soon…

These are gorgeous! I feel like I could walk right into them. This is exactly what I would want my wedding photos to look like. The fourth one is my fav.

Ben, you captured the moment, the Love and the beauty of the day. When I looked at your pictures I think I could hear the steel drums and feel the beautiful breezes as they rustled the palms. You are a true artist with a heart of gold that can magically take a still-life and make it into a movie.
BEN IS EVERY BRIDE’S DREAM PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!! Kuddos for Katie and Chris too. They were great and never stopped working. I really liked their style and abstract photography. What a wonderful trio. Thank you so very much.

Ben,
I knew my endless nights of looking for the “perfect” photographer weren’t in vain-the photos are magnificent. You indeed have the gift! I can’t thank you, Chris, and Katie enough for capturing our day perfectly. We all know you didn’t miss a beat (or a rooftop–Chris!). You even got all the details that I planned for months, which were so important to me (come on you saw the notebook!) A special thanks to Katie again for being my “4th maid”…you all aren’t just photographers, but great people too and we all enjoyed having you around. With photos like these, we will be reminded of every detail and every beatuiful moment Johnny and I had with our friends and family at the E-State! Thanks for the memories and we can’t wait to see the rest! Oh, and let us not forget the music on the slideshow…thanks for that special touch too–that was slick!
