This wedding took place at The La Playa Hotel this past weekend.  This hotel is absolutely one of my favorite places to photograph as it has such a wonderful “Old Florida” feel to it.  The flowers were beautiful at this wedding and were done by Botanicals On The Gulf of Naples. There are so many photos that I love from this wedding, like of my bride Melissa in the long narrow hallway of the hotel.  I like the depth perspective these images create.  The group photos on the rocks are also some of my favorites from the day simply because these were technically some of the hardest images I photographed during the day.   The sun was incredibly bright when we were photographing on the beach, so it was a real challenge to get the entire group exposed correctly and work with the harsh lighting conditions in such a short amount of time.   I also really like the photos from the reception.  This group of groomsmen were really a blast and they knew how to get the party going.  The photos of the guests dancing really capture the vibe of the whole party.  High energy!  This group knew how to have a good time and I think the photos we got really capture that feeling.
