Love Letter Ceremony



As wedding photographers, we are continuously experiencing new wedding trends. One of our favorites (adapted for our own wedding in Iceland), is the love letter ceremony. In wedding planning there is always a struggle to find a unity ceremony that hasn’t been done by a friend or relative. The love letter ceremony can provide the extra special detail you have been looking for.

When to Book Your Wedding Vendors



The average American engagement lasts 16 months. No matter how long or short your engagement, you’ll find that planning always comes in two big spurts: the beginning and the end. The longer your engagement, the more time you’ll have in between. But, length of engagement shouldn’t make a difference in how fabulous your wedding turns out to be, as long as you know when to book your wedding vendors.

Florida Wedding Photographer Overcomes Career Threatening Injury



When Member Jim Brandano, Florida Wedding Photographer of JP Brandano Photography decided to go out one day for a bike ride, he never thought he’d end up with a career threatening injury. But that’s just what happened! He fractured his elbow in six places, making any future in Wedding Photography unlikely! Even though his road to recovery was difficult and the odds were against him, Jim worked tirelessly to overcome this trauma.

We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Jim and Phyllis, the husband and wife team of JP Brandano Photography. They are truly amazing photographers and we wanted to tell their story to spread the word that Jim is fully recovered and ready to shoot weddings!

Find out more about Jim and Phyllis, how they became wedding photographers, their unique specialty service they offer called “Romance Day”, what they love most about photographing weddings, and how Jim overcame his unexpected injury.
