Kendall + Brandt\u00a0 |\u00a0 Married<\/p>\n

St. Sebastian’s Catholic Church Wedding\u00a0 |\u00a0 Ritz Carlton Ft Lauderdale Reception<\/p>\n

In your lifetime you may have been to many a wedding but until you plan one ~ you have no idea what you’re in for! First of all you get engaged ~ it’s a huge moment, you call Mom, your best friends ~ basking in the glow that soon you’ll be wearing the gown of your dreams ~ marrying the man of those dreams and having the perfect wedding! So you buy a Bride’s magazine or two ~ a wedding planning notebook at the local bookstore ~ you peruse through each\u00a0 article searching for inspiration and guidance ~ and then you find the checklist! Wow ~ It’s LONG! Budget ~\u00a0 Pick a date ~ start a guest list ~ who will be your maid of honor ~ best man ~ where to get married ~ your reception venue ~ your dress ~ bridesmaid’s dresses ~ decor ~ photographers ~ you’re beginning to get an idea that this is an incredible undertaking! This is just the “tip of the iceberg”!<\/p>\n

So it was with Kendall and Brandt’s wedding that with much enthusiasm the planning of\u00a0 “the wedding” became a year and a half of details, concerns, high’s and lows and it all culminated in ~ perfection!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This amazing moment was captured just before Dad walked Kendall down the aisle ~ I know as a Dad that this moment is huge ~ a moment that Dad has thought about and played through in his mind over and over again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then the doors open ~ you take a deep breath and there before you are your closest family and friends ~ and then you lock eyes with your guy and all is perfect!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the passing of months and then weeks before the wedding Kendal in a wonderful way communicated with me what they wanted in their photographs ~ creativity, captured moments and perfection! I love theses conversations, emails and attention from a Bride that truly knows what she wants ~ to be taken care of without fail!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the toast Brandt and Kendall delight in the words and sentiments given by the best man. I refer to this moment as a reaction to the action of a toast ~ and when we are photographing a wedding we are focused on the obvious action and reactions to those moments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You got to marvel at the stunning chandelier in the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton in Ft Lauderdale! Kendall made sure I knew that she wanted lots of photographs that incorporated this beautiful feature!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s been a fantastic day ~ flies by in what seems like minutes ~ on to your honeymoon suite ~ doors close and life is beautiful.<\/p>\n
