16 Nov Marina + Andy // Florida

Posted at 11:19h in Destination

When you find true love, you know it. It’s the emotion, the feeling, and the memories. Such was the case with my dear friend and college roommate, Andy. He found his true love in Marina. The two of them work for departments in The Walt Disney Company (Orlando, FL). I knew that Andy and Marina had been dating and only hoped that they would ask me to film their wedding. Andy was always a huge supporter of my video work in college and remains a big fan of Delack Media Group’s wedding cinematography work around Chicago and other various destination weddings.
Andy and Marina had a beautiful wedding ceremony (officiated by Andy’s brother, Chris) at the Delray Beach Golf Club. Their ceremony also included a Latin American wedding tradition known as Las Aaaras. During this tradition, the couple exchanges 13 coins to symbolize their pledge to care for one another through time. The coins can represent different things to different couples, but to Andy & Marina, the coins are a reflection of faith, devotion, hope and love.

The weather was perfect and the images I was able to capture in Delray Beach were magnificent! Their families opened their arms to ours and we could not have been more thankful for a wonderful week in Florida. It’s special when a friend is able to find his companion. Andy and Marina are so perfect together and we could not be happier for the two of you.

I met Robyn at a wedding that we were both working at a few years ago. It was Delack Media Group’s first year in business as a wedding cinematography studio in Chicago. I was filming the wedding and she was photographing it. Robyn is an extremely talented photographer with an amazingly creative eye. So, when she asked me to film her wedding at the Four Seasons Las Vegas (in the shadows of Mandalay Bay), I was honored.

Throughout the process of preparing for their Las Vegas wedding, I enjoyed getting to know TJ. The two of them are truly a perfect match. While living in California, Robyn took a photography class at a local college. Building her brand of Robyn Rachel Photography on the West coast, Robyn eventually decided to give Chicago a try. During her first week in Chicago, Robyn and TJ met. They shared an immediate attraction and Robyn knew Chicago would eventually have to become her home.

Filming one of the most important days of someone’s life is a tremendous responsibility. When a photographer of Robyn’s caliber asks me to film this day, it’s very humbling to me. Their ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful. We also did a photo session at Hyde Lounge in front of the famous Bellagio water fountains. Guests at the ceremony and cocktail hour even listened to live music from American Idol contestant (top 100 Season 11) Mahi Crabbe! The colors, the sights, and the sounds of Vegas were everywhere. With this trailer, I wanted to bring the viewer into Sin City and make them feel like they were there with us. Robyn and TJ: Thank you! I enjoyed every minute of my weekend capturing your beautiful day. I hope this trailer reminds you of that awesome weekend in Vegas!
