Last Sunday I had the pleasure of capturing images of this beautiful mother and her daughter in the beautiful city of Coral Gables Florida.
I hope you enjoy the small preview of this wonderful afternoon in the area of Coral Gables.
Tuve el gran placer de tomarle las fotos de su Boda a una preciosa novia el mes pasado en el area de Miami conocida como el Doral. Ambos el novio y la novia vinieron desde Raleigh North Carolina para compartir este bello evento en sus vidas con sus familiares y amigos.
La bella novia se preparo en el salon de belleza Rose ubicado en el area de Biscayne y la 7o calle. El estilista Jhon Amaya hizo una obra de arte en el maquillaje de la novia. Pero claro cuando la muchacha es bella en si misma no es necesario tanto trabajo. La ceremonia fue hecha en la iglesia catolica Our Lady of Guadalupe y por ultimo la recepcion en el Killian Palms Country Club.
Espero que disfruten las imagenes y si tuvieran alguna pregunta por favor dejar un comentario o tambien pueden comunicarse por telefono: 305-498-2646

I had the pleasure a few days ago to work with the owners of this beautiful house located in Islamorada Florida Ocean Side to capture images to be placed in their advertisement in VRBO.com. The website provides a great resource for families and couples looking to spend some quality vacation time in the beautiful Florida Keys. The home features 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms which will easily accommodate a group of up to 16 people. It has a very spacious kitchen and living room with a view of the beach and Atlantic Ocean. A screened terrace area allow you to enjoy evening sun downers while keeping away unwanted critters. There is a pool, barbecue, dock, and best of all its own private white sand beach which is very rare in the Florida Keys!
With the many outdoor activities which can be enjoyed in the Florida Keys such as fishing, diving, paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling and simply enjoying the beautiful South Florida weather this beautiful home is centrally located. Places such John Pennekamp State Park which has the only Continental United States Coral Reef and offering glass bottom boat tours, is easily accessible been only a few minutes drive either by car or boat. Because the house is Ocean side and has its own dock bringing or renting a power boat will provide many hours of water sport memories. Within minutes you will be cruising over one of the most beautiful diving and fishing areas in the Atlantic without having to take out your passport!
Enjoy the images and follow the links for details of this gorgeous property in the heart of the Florida Keys.

This past Saturday I had the pleasure and honor to document using my camera a very beautiful and moving occasion. It was the wedding of Tarik and Mercy a very loving and giving couple. They held their beautiful event at the Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ and the Biltmore Hotel both historic landmarks in the city of Coral Gables in the South Florida area. This blog post is to present the beautiful wedding photography at the Biltmore Hotel of this event.
We started the day off with getting ready pictures at the Biltmore followed by a very emotional first look in which the groom’s father, brother and uncles took part. With the sound of applause and cheers the bride made her way down a set of grandiose staircases to the waiting arms of her future husband. The look on his face as his family members cheered the beautiful Mercy on was something of beauty, which only became more enchanting when he turned towards her and saw his bride at her very best for the very first time. Tears were on both the grooms and brides eyes but with hours of preparation in the brides part she had to compose her self or else we would had a bit of a disaster in the makeup department.
The first look led to formal outside portraits of the couple taking advantage of the beautiful afternoon light that we had around us. This led to more portraits inside the beautiful Biltmore Hotel lobby with the bride’s and groom’s immediate family. Shortly afterwards we headed towards the Church which happens to be across the street from the hotel. The bride was driven, on her short ride in an incredible Rolls Royce Wraith by her father. A very classy and beautiful touch, if I might say. Between the awesome auto, the beautiful bride, the handsome groom in his Great Gatsby tuxedo, and the historic picturesque venues this turn into an incredible photography opportunity. Every where you turned is was like a James Bond movie!!
I will spare you the rest of the details since wedding photography is what I do best not write. I’m showing the main highlights of the this wedding day since we stared at 3:00 p.m. and ended up staying until 1:00a.m. The family is a mix of Cuban, and Jordanian members, thus the music played was both latin salsa, merengue, reggaeton and arabic in nature. There was spanish been spoken along with english and of course arabic. The theme of the reception was that of a middle eastern style which was orchestrated by Sari Sosa of Sari Sosa Events.
In here are the images followed by links to the venues and vendors, I hope you enjoy.

Here are a few images from a recent Quinces Photo Shoot done in Villa Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Wynwood Walls and the Gold Coast Railroad Museum.
A few images from our latest Real Estate Photography in Key Largo, Florida. These are from a 3 million dollar home located in Ocean Reef which is the northern area of Key Largo. Is a Five Bedroom plus, two story house surrounded by lush mangroves. The owners will be renting it out during the summer while they live in their home country of Canada. These images and others will be used for advertising the home in different social media outlets and real estate websites. I did these while bracketing and then combining the images in a slight hdr effect using Photomatix Software. Hope you enjoy.
Is not every day that a real estate photographer finds himself photographing his own home with the goal of placing it on the market to sell. But nevertheless this is where I find myself and this is the result of a few days of work to get the house set up to be photographed. It is a sad time for the Gonzalez household having to let go of our dream home in the Redlands near Homestead and Miami. A home that both my wife and I designed and physically partook in raising it from the barren nearly 3 acres of land that we bought back in 2006. After nearly 9 years of struggling to first build it and then trying to keep it we have determine that unless God does a miracle we will be selling and moving on to what ever His will would have for us. My dream was to see my grandkids play in the trees, ride the horses and just enjoy coming to grandpas big old house, but it will not be so. I hope you enjoy the following images from my home and if you should need any Real Estate Photography in South Florida or any other type of photography please don’t hesitate in calling me. The home will be listed by one of the country’s top real estate agent Nancy J. O’brien with the Keyes Agency.
