Check this craziness out… how freaking cool is that!?!?

We are having an awesome time here in Orlando shooting our first Hindu wedding. Here are a few photos from last night’s Mehendi party. The Bride’s hands were gorgeous… and the little flower girl was beyond cute. She was very proud of her hands! Off to shoot the Garba!

All the women getting their hands painted

This is her twin brother… he was not quite as excited to be at the party

Lots more to come later!!!

Last weekend we took the lovely Melanie (yes two Melanies for the price of one!) out for a Trash the Dress shoot. Here is a sneak peek of our shoot. There will be lots more to come soon! We are busy busy heading to Orlando for a 3 day Indian wedding in the morning! It should be fabulous!

Enjoy the lovely Melanie…

Have a Happy Easter Everyone!!!

LOVE~
Mel, Brad and Lucy

Brad and I recently went down to my hometown of New Smyrna Beach to shoot Jen & Chase’s engagement session. They will be getting married at the end of June at the new Venetian Bay Town Center and I can’t wait. It will be absolutely gorgeous. We had way too much fun…

we went under the bridge and I had no idea how steep that incline was until I was climbing around like a monkey up there…

it was worth it though

Yeah apparently there will be no entering Joey’s B-hole… bummer :/

Jen laughing at us for trying to get them run over while crossing the street.

We headed down to the beach… and this was the first thing we saw when we got there

apparently these dogs escaped their home and were playing hooky at the beach… clearly they were happy to see us

Yes Chase’s face is the sun… its a pretty cool trick he uses it to blind his opponents in the heat of battle!

Jen putting the moves on Chase

we like sandy feet!

Thanks for spending the afternoon with us guys!

Because we have had such a fantastic response to my “birthday giveaway” we decided to extend the promotion until the end of this month. So for all you brides who book your wedding with La Dolce Vita Studio before the end of March you will receive a free engagement session as well as $400 in print credit to be applied to your wedding print order.

Also, any new lifestyle portrait sessions will receive $50 in print credit if booked by the end of the month. So hurry and book now, dates are filling up quickly!

All giveaway talk aside, I have not been posting as much on the blog as I would like. There are lots of really exciting things going on here at LDV Studio that are keeping my days super busy. So here is a clip of a Demetri Martin vs. Dane Cook joke to keep all you wonderful blog readers occupied for a bit until I can get some pretty pictures up for you all. Demetri Martin is so hilarious… you should all run out and buy his cd right now!

Enjoy!
