How an amazing event turns into one of the most memorable nights of our career…

We were so happy when we got the phone call from one of our frequent clients (thanks to Design 42 for introducing us). She was having a bash for her 50th birthday at their home and she wanted us to capture it all for her. One thing that stood out during the planning process was that there was going to be a celebrity guest at the event, but the identity would remain a mystery! <insert gasp> Our first hint as to who this could be was on the actual day of the event. We knew from past experience that this family knew how to throw a glamouros party. However, we were speechless when we stepped into the panoramic glass tent; the décor was amazing! Once we stopped drooling over the décor, we noticed there was a piano center stage. Ah HA! A hint! We luckily had a private portrait session with the family and the mystery guest. The wait was finally over! We walked into a room and met Sir Elton John! <insert scream> We literally had to remind ourselves to breathe. Even writing this story reminds us how lucky we are. We had the opportunity to meet and better yet, photograph one of our icons! It’s all a blur, but thank God we have photographs (and plenty of them). Elton John played all his greatest hits. A few times in between shooting, we stopped to take it all in. He truly is amazing. Just Elton, a piano, and us just steps away from him…surreal! Each and every time we tell the story we appreciate the opportunity that we had more and more… WE photographed Elton John!

PS Did I mention we got to hear him sing for over an hour?!?!?

Daniel’s Ufruf was full of tradition.  This is when the groom is called up to the Torah before his wedding.  It is a huge honor, and once the ceremony was finished, he was pelted by candy by his family and friends.  It is to wish him and Stephanie a sweet life.  Afterwards, they celebrated with an amazing brunch set up by D42.  Everything was custom for this event: the bar, chandelier, floral art, waiters’ aprons, etc.  It was amazing.  The scheme of bright yellow and white just exemplified the beauty.

The Engagement Dinner at the Gilinsky home was just as beautiful.  D42 designed such an amazing decor throughout their home (even outdoors).  It was stunning.

New Year’s Eve at Costa d’Este Beach Resort in Vero Beach was amazing!  The music filled the air and set the tone for the night.  It was an awesome party that lasted till 3am!!!  Here are a few images from that night…  Don’t you wish you were there???

Not only did Kori and Darrell create an incredible wedding for their guests but they also made sure to put together a great pre-party.  Friday morning started with a ladies brunch at Emeril’s South Beach.  Kori’s closest friends hosted the bruch with much class.  The centerpieces were so perfectly girly, they were made by Mystique Flowers.  The champagne was flowing which made for some teary toasts, but laughs quickly followed.  Later that evening Kori and Darrell had their rehearsal dinner/PARTY at Nikki Beach.  The signature drink of the night was a Mojito.  Nearly all the guests were from out of town so it was nice to see everyone so happy to see each other.  After spending the evenig with the guests we new that the wedding was going to be a blast!

The Get Connected Event was created by NatPR for the purpose of gathering young professionals to network with one another. The event was held at Mamajuana Cafe and was sponsored by 944 magazine, DJ Connection, Select Vodka just to name a few. We of course were one of the sponsors and had such a great time photographing the event.
