The Wedding of Claudia and Oswaldo

This Saturday, November 25, 2006 we had the privilege of documenting the wedding of Oswaldo Gonzalez, and Claudia Negrette. The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Colonnade Hotel in Coral Gables. The ceremony was officiated by Reverend Karl Rodig, with whom I’ve had the privilege of working numerous times, however, each time, it seems like it was the first time. The ceremony contained all the elements of a couple who are truly in love. Oswaldo and Claudia not only shared their vows, but emotional tears of joy, as the joy of this special day was too much to contain within.

After their formal portraits, the couple walked into the beautifully decorated Rotunda, which was exquisitely decorated by Elsa Perez, from National Flowers. Claudia and Oswaldo walked in to the fantastic sounds of Tradison Band which consisted of a twelve piece band. Their phenomenal sounds, kept everyone on the dance floor dancing the night away. To say, that this was an extremely fun and happy wedding would be an understatement, and would not do the event justice. The event went smoothly under the direction of wedding coordinator Alice K. Villar, from Affairs Remembered and her talented team.

I want to thank this awesome couple, for inviting us to be a part of this wonderful day, and I pray for The Lord to bless them, as they begin this new journey in their lives.

The Wedding of Vivian and Fred

This Saturday November 11, 2006, we had the privilege of documenting the wedding of Vivian Lemus, and Fred Viera. I knew Vivian was a special person since the first day we met, she is truly a sweet, caring, and fun individual. Fred, I met on the week of the wedding, and he is also a fantastic individual, fun, intelligent, and well unfortunately a Gator.

The nuptials took place at St. Hughs Catholic Church, In Coconut Grove, with the reception following at Comber Hall. It was great to work with this fantastic couple, as it made it fun, in the midst of the rush, as the church only allowed ten minutes to do all the family pictures. Thanks to the cooperation of the couple, the family members, and the Grace of God, we managed to get all the images that we needed within the ten minute time period. The reception at Comber Hall was flawless, under the skilful eye of Sylvia Viyella, her and her staff were on top of all the details. Vivian, and Fred, truly enjoyed their special night, as can be witnessed by the constant smiles, and laughter in their photographs.

I want to wish Vivian and Fred, a blessed, long life together, and a life filled with joy and happiness.

Blessings,

Frank Sanchez
