Vintage Engagement Shoot

Elise + Stephen :: Vinoy Grand Ballroom Wedding

The longer I shoot, the more I am aware of my responsibility to create something timeless. On this day, Elise and Stephen's impeccable style and classic venue made my job was easy. I can honestly say I will never tire of gorgeous light and authentic emotion. The tears and emotions started with the amazing gift exchange between Elise and Stephen, continued with an absolutely amazing first look and incredible father/daughter first look, and continued throughout the evening. Elise and Stephen weren't sure about the first look during the planning process and even doubted whether they wanted to do it in the week leading up to the wedding, but immediately after the first look and the ceremony, they both expressed how thankful they were that they did. After witnessing it and now going through all the images, I have to say I could not be happier that they did. I can't wait to tell this story in their wedding album. Just a side note, Elise is the third bride I've had from the Delta Zeta sorority at UF, and I sincerely hope I get the opportunity to work with many more! Special shout out to Aaron Lockwood for second shooting, and my studio manager Renee for assisting and shooting.

Sergio + Vicky :: Engagement Shoot

Retro style, amazing chemistry, and an awesome sense of humor... Three things that made me love this shoot and love working with Sergio and Vicky. I was excited when I first heard about their vintage wedding at the Don Vincente, but I was sold after our initial meeting when Sergio and Vicky said, "we thought about wearing 'I love Justin DeMutiis Photography' T-shirts to this meeting". So since then I knew that we would be a great fit! The two things I couldn't predict are their amazing outfits, and the fact that this shoot would be featured on Ruffled Blog! I beyond excited to get featured on such an amazing and inspirational blog!Here is a link to their feature on Ruffled Blog
