Real Wedding : Olivia + Nicholas' Palm Beach Wedding at Flagler Museum

Today, this week, this month, this year, I have been taken aback by how fast the time has been flying by!  More than anything else, I feel blessed LDE's business is living in this reality! All the hours, meetings, calls, emails, text messages, the office work, the planning, the planning, the planning, the effort, the personalities, all the behind-the-scenes happenings clients' never know about...the job description is never ending. And as challenging as this profession is, it will never be too challenging to change how much I love my job! I could never imagine dedicating this much too anything else - except of course, The Princess!

This year, LDE has had the pleasure of working with some pretty fabulous couples!  After the wedding has come and gone, it is a little difficult that the meeting and calls between our favorite clients become less.  Which is why it so exciting when we receive that special email sharing the good news that the wedding photos and trailer are available!  It is so exciting to be able to go back to the wedding day, the day we spent over 365 days planning!   And today was that day when Black Label Wedding Films shot me the text, "Olivia and Nicholas' highlight is live!!"

To be honest, Olivia and Nicholas deserve an epic poem of praise.  They are the couple where every second we spent together, on the phone, texting, emailing, of course when we had in person planning meeting, they were always a true joy!

Real Moment : The Bride's First Look at Flagler Museum in Palm Beach

What does it takes to brighten my day?  I could write an epic poem, and one verse would be dedicated to wedding pictures.   So when this beautiful shot from a previous LDE wedding came across my desk today,  it's easy to understand why I felt it had to be shared with all of you!

One year has passed since this wedding, but I am instantly transported back to this day when I see this shot.  Like it was yesterday, I remember neatly tucking away this sweet, gorgeous LDE bride into the limo.  To myself, I could not believe how radiant she looked.  She just so happens to already be the sweetest person, but she also spent the afternoon with Ms. Ivette Gil  and her Beauty Design Team, having a blast getting her hair and makeup done in an ocean view suite at The Breakers.  Um, think this would put a smile on just about any one's face!

In the blink of an eye, her limo left the valet circle, and turned onto Country Road.  The drive is a short distance from the The Breakers to the wedding venue, but I know it feels like an eternity on a bride's wedding day.  From Cocoanut Row to Whitehall Way...

... and then this.
  

... the instant when our bride has her first glimpse of where her sunset wedding ceremony will shortly take place:  the iconic and magnificent, Henry Morrison Flagler Museum - and captured perfectly by Ambrosio Photography.

Honestly, it's an extraordinary feeling for me to see the professional photography from my weddings; and I can only imagine the feeling for our clients!  

So what happens next?  Be sure to check back for the full recap from our Flagler Museum wedding! And of course, always check in to see the shenanigans and happenings at LDE, as we continue to plan from Palm Beach to New York, Florence and all that lies in between!
