Yet another incredible couple that we get to photograph! Michelle (Michy) and Tommy are one of a kind and I had a great time capturing their amazing relationship. We met a while back at Calvary Chapel Kendall where we all go to church and have grown to love these two. They’re awesome people and together, these two are a perfect match. Here are some images from their engagement session…

You know you’re going to capture an epic wedding when you have to get on a boat to go shoot a wedding on a tropical island in the Florida Keys. In case you’ve never heard of this island it’s called Little Palm Island. If you ever want to have a relaxing, out of this world, get away vacation book a few nights at Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys, you won’t regret it. It’s simply one of the most tropical places I’ve ever seen in Florida. First of all to get to the island you need to board a boat that takes you on a ten minute trip to the island off the coast of the Florida Keys off of Little Torch Key and near Deer Key. When I arrived I thought I was going to be greeted by Ricardo Montalban and Hervé Villechaize from Fantasy Island! Needless to say the opportunities to take amazing pictures were everywhere. One of the first things I saw that I couldn’t believe was a wild deer just laying in the grass. I was told by the Island staff that they swim from neighboring islands looking for food on Little Palm Island.
Maggie and JP had a beautiful sunset wedding on the island that was blessed with beautiful skies and crisp ocean air from start to finish. Thank you Maggie and JP for allowing me to photograph your legendary wedding day, it was truly a spectacular experience!
October 24, 2011 - 10:42 am - You got some great images in a beautiful setting. Very nice work Rick!
October 24, 2011 - 11:12 am - Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
October 24, 2011 - 11:33 am - Absolutely amazing, once again, Fernandez Photography!! And what a beautiful, tropical place. The deer were so cute! Who knew Deer could swim?? I learned something new on your blog today! :O) Congrats to the bride and groom!
October 25, 2011 - 9:11 am - Thanks for the awesome comments Juan, Cynthia and Jamie!!
October 26, 2011 - 1:33 pm - For the past two wedding posts I have actually felt like I was at the wedding... You know I love your pictures but SUPER GREAT job capturing the story!!!!
December 2, 2011 - 1:25 pm - These are amazing images at an amazing location. You definitely did the place justice. This couple was fortunate to have you!
December 5, 2011 - 8:47 pm - Really gorgeous work on this wedding, Rick!
December 8, 2011 - 5:11 pm - Thank you Claudia and Shaleen!!
One day I was going through our email as usual and I see an email from our friend Shelly, who by the way is an amazing photographer and also the owner of the incredible Doggy Studio in South Miami. She asked if we would consider photographing her sister’s wedding in Bogota, Colombia and thankfully the date was available so it was an easy yes! We were so honored that she thought of us and also extremely excited to book an international wedding to such a beautiful country like Colombia that we couldn’t wait! Shelly’s sister Tamy and her husband Daniel were going to have their EPIC wedding on a ranch and were planning on having a 16 Hour wedding, yes 16 hours!
First thing we needed to be concerned with was the altitude. Bogota has an elevation of 8600 ft, which is around the same altitude as many cities in Colorado. So, we were warned by everyone that we would get really tired by just taking a few steps and would have to rest from time to time. They weren’t kidding!! We arrived 2 days before the wedding and were still getting tired by just walking around on wedding day! We did acclimate slowly but surely and within a couple of days we didn’t really feel much.
We found Colombia to be a very beautiful country with tons of amazing landscapes, phenomenal food and incredible people! We want to give a HUGE “THANK YOU” to Shelly, Jimmy, Tamy, Daniel and their entire family for their exceptional hospitality and for really treating us like one of their own family members the entire time we were there! We honestly had the time of our lives and felt extremely welcomed by everyone!!!! So without further delay here are some of the million images from their 16 hour wedding (Colombians really celebrate)….
Oh by the way, this is definitely the longest blog post we’ve ever had!!
Wedding ceremony and reception: Hacienda el Salitre, Bogota, Colombia
As soon as we arrived to our hotel we received a very special gift from Tamy and Daniel. It was a cloth sac with an amazing note on it and tons of delicious and very useful gifts inside…
October 7, 2011 - 8:10 am - Rick you have blown me away with these images! This wedding put you in a whole new bracket my friend! I expect to see your pictures in Brides Magazine. Do submit them please!
October 7, 2011 - 10:10 am - Rick, this is gorgeous! What an amazing job! Love your juxtaposition of city, nature, along with the beautiful bride and details of Columbia. Fantastic.

October 7, 2011 - 12:39 pm - Rick, you [and your amazing photographer wife] have blown me away!! From one photographer to another, these images are truly outstanding. You knocked this one clear outta the park. Possibly outta Colombia! :O) The wedding location and details were incredible and the bride, groom, family and guests were all beautiful subjects so how could you go wrong?? But, you captured everything beautifully. Amazing work, my friend. Simply amazing.
October 7, 2011 - 2:09 pm - Excellent work! You both captured everything perfectly, it made me feel like I was there... You are in another level for sure! I'm proud of my teacher :)

November 8, 2011 - 11:03 pm - Rick, came across your blog through a friend who just had you shoot their wedding. I saw this post and I couldn't help but comment. These pictures brought tears to my eyes. Not only were the emotions and gorgeous details captured for this couple, but you captured the essence and the beauty of Colombia. I haven't been there in a few years....I want to jump on a plane right now. Amazing work.
December 18, 2011 - 8:52 pm - Thank you Pellingsworth! I really appreciate you taking the time to tell us how much you liked the photos :) Colombia was indeed a beautiful place! I would go back in a heartbeat!

Thought we’d take an evening off to photograph our little boy professionally instead of just with our iPhone or point and shoot. We’re really happy with the outcome and the fact that we just created images that will last for generations to come!
August 25, 2011 - 8:07 pm - These pictures are incredible!! Great work! And he is so cute!
August 29, 2011 - 12:09 pm - Awesome photos !!!
September 4, 2011 - 9:06 am - This boy can kick! He looks tough but yet so sweet. Nice pics bro! You Rock. You continue to impress me with your imagination. Blessings.
This was one of the coolest weddings ever! There was so much energy the entire night that we could barely keep up! So much going on all the time it made it so fun it didn’t even feel like work. Lema and Yousef didn’t actually have a traditional wedding with a ceremony, instead they actually did things a little differently. Therefore, you won’t see any ceremony pics as you would know them because the actual ceremony was merged with the reception. So with that said enjoy…
March 3, 2011 - 9:56 pm - You really, really, really amazed me with this post. It is EXQUISITE! You are at the top, top, top...can't wait to be like you. Blessings Master Shifu!! Sandy
March 13, 2011 - 2:42 pm - Captured the event very nicely.Basic, to the point, not Gimmicky.
March 19, 2011 - 3:12 pm - Rick, we had such an AMAZINGGGGGG wedding experience and we couldn't have had it without you! The photographs are soo great and it was such a pleasure working with you! :o)
March 20, 2011 - 12:31 pm - Thank you very much for that awesome compliment and glad you loved the pics!! We really really appreciate the feedback and it was a real pleasure capturing your wedding day!
March 20, 2011 - 12:32 pm - Thanks Carlos for the nice compliment on our work!
April 6, 2011 - 9:11 am - Super gorgeous! Love these.
June 18, 2011 - 11:58 pm - Oh my goodness this wedding is so gorgeous! Love the beautiful and yet simple photography... so amazing!
