Real Celebrity Wedding: James Wieland + Jennifer Dalla Riva

It was a hot August day in 2009 when Lauren Daversa Events first met with WPTV-Channel 5 weatherman James Wieland and Palm Beach Post advertising rep Jennifer Dalla Riva to discuss plans for what I knew would be an unforgettable wedding celebration.

Almost two years + countless hours of meticulous planning later, I'm happy to announce the wedding was a complete success! Not only was James + Jennifer's wedding an extraordinarily significant moment in their lives, but in mine as well...and you can see why after viewing the breathtaking images shot by Shannon Mathis of Mi.Amore.Foto. With such grace, Shannon captured the overwhelming emotion and love the beautiful couple radiated the entire day.

James + Jennifer are so incredibly in love and their enthusiasm for each other and for the wedding never ended! I was honored to be chosen to plan the most special day in their lives and will remember this always. Enjoy Shannon's sneak peak, and be sure to check back for more of Shannon's work and Cabana Picture's trailer!

What LDE Friends Are Up To : Mi Amore Foto

During my nightly Facebook check, I was ecstatic to see that Mi Amore Foto was featured on Style Me Pretty for stunningly capturing this wedding at Grove Isle Resort + Spa.

Grove Isle holds a special place in my heart as it was one of the first "Florida" venues I visited after I moved from the city. Located on a private island, it's a very intimate resort that truly possesses the ability to whisk you away to a secluded retreat that features old south Florida style! I vividly remember being totally blown away by this property and felt incredibly happy to have relocated to such a beautiful place. On top of this, there is an awesome view of the Miami skyline AND the property has a life-sized chess board with 3-foot chess pieces. Brides, remember this for a fun e-shoot location!

In any event, Shannon, the pictures are breathtaking. Congratulations on joining the SMP family! You truly have a gift for capturing all the fine details that make a wedding unique and giving people the ability to feel what it was like to be a part of this most special day. Can't wait to work together on James Wieland + Jennifer Jennifer Dalla Riva's big day!!!
