Naples Zoo Wild Weddings | Trendsetter Challenge

Posted in: Love: Weddings | Promotions | Weddings

Received an e-mail from Courtney of Naples Zoo Wild Weddings, and Kehrin from Jet Set Wed about possibly doing another Wild Weddings shoot out. I did one last year and it was a lot of fun, but I was unsure if I was able to make it again this year. Lo and behold they asked and asked and finally I made arrangements. It was hot, but the setting was gorgeous and the models – newlyweds, Jennie and Anthony were troopers and TOTALLY in love. I had such a great time and really enjoyed myself. PLUS! the Challenge was a shoot out between a few other local photographers and myself so there was a month long judging and we’ll see who wins!

Enjoy my set at least and don’t forget to head over to the Naples Zoo Wild Weddings Facebook page to check out my other “competition”.

Zoobilee 2012 | Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens | Naples, Florida

Posted in: Events | Promotions

I had the pleasure earlier in the month to join the crew at the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens for their yearly fundraiser, Zoobilee. Not only did I donate a 2 hour photography session to their silent auction, I covered their event for them – and man, was it an event! The zoo is a fantastic location to do a photography session or have a great memorable party or get together. I learned so much seeing the animals up close and learning from the zoo keepers in a more intimate setting. If you haven’t considered the zoo to be a location for your next event, maybe these photos will convince you otherwise!

I hope you enjoyed the Naples Zoo in an entire different light!

Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens Wedding Venue | Photo Shootout | Naples, Florida

Posted in: Love: Weddings | Promotions | Weddings

I had such a great time at the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens’ Wedding Photo Shootout. Talk about a wedding photographer’s dream!! 3 hours with two couples with exotic and beautiful scenery, beautiful outdoor light, a monkey in the background and lots of AMAZING wedding vendors and a ton of awesome wedding photographers all coming together to make gorgeous photos.

I. WAS. IN. FREAKING. HEAVEN.

Yummy cupcakes by Sassy Cakes & beautiful stationary by DM Paper Designs (Look at those cards! Too die for!)

Hair and make up are the two most important things about your wedding day. You want to look picture perfect, the men at Salon Tease make you look PERFECT, by bringing out your natural beauty. (I love these two and they will make you feel like a million bucks!)

Special Thanks goes out to Courtney, Director of Group Sales at the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens for putting this all together for us. If you are still planning your Naples or Southwest Florida wedding and are looking for fun-loving, good people to work with, I highly suggest these vendors – and check out the zoo for a possible venue!!
