We had a great shoot with little James at Lake Lilly in Winter Park. He was very shy in the beginning. After we played for a while and fed the ducks, he warmed up and his precious personality came beaming out.

Cristina and Chris will be getting married very soon….I can’t wait! They chose Annunciation Catholic Church in Altamonte Springs for their ceremony and Celebration Hotel in Kissimmee for their reception. They are a great couple. I expect the wedding day to be not only beautiful and filed with love but also, judging by their personality, full of energy and crazy fun.

Melissa and Mike got married in the beautiful Mission Inn Resort in Howie-in-The-Hills last Saturday. I shot this wedding with my friend Dan, who is a pleasure to work with. We were taking some photos on the golf course, when we saw an aligator starring at us from a bank of a pond. It freaked me out a little bit, but just for a second. Mike, who is a police officer, offered that he would wrestle the gator but Melissa didn’t think it was such a great idea.

It truly was a fairytale wedding! They got married in Marriott Renessaince Vinnoy Golf and Resort in St. Petersburg. The ceremony was outside in the Tea Garden and the reception in a beautiful Sunset Ballroom. Sarah looked gorgeous! All the planning and preparations paid off! Check out this photo! Aren’t the bridesmaids beautiful? I loved the chocolade brown dresses and the colorful flowers.

Sarah and Jason’s wedding is coming up next week. I can’t wait. It’s going to be great! Sarah has everything planned out to the T. Jennifer is coming with me, so it’s going to be even more fun. Here is their favorite image from the engagement session, which was shot on a beautiful day at scenic Rollins College campus in Winter Park, Florida. The cool thing about their engagement session is that there were so many great images–they didn’t have to choose just one. We put together and entire album as a wedding guest signing book! I’ll post some pages from the signing book later on.

The brand-new iwona.com is now up and running. I’m so excited about the flash interface, the gallery slideshows, and (best of all) the private client proofing.Upcoming shoots: Sarah and Jason’s wedding at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg, Florida. Dawn and Brian’s wedding at the Marriott Frenchman’s Reef Resort in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Looks like I should be sponsored by Marriott, or at least by the Saints.

Well, here is my new blog–obligatory first post. A new web site is being designed right now. It should be out later this week. I’ll post the link once it’s ready.
