The Wedding of Sandra & Jeremy



http://www.memoriesbymark.com
Wow, this is a busy week as the late fall wedding season is in full swing.  This week, we had the honor of photographing the wedding of Sandra and Jeremy at the beautiful Harbor Ridge Country Club near Palm City.  Sandra looked radiant in her gown as she made her dramatic entrance into the outside gazebo from the 2nd floor stairway off the balcony at the dining room.  It was as if it was a movie with Sandra's father meeting her at the bottom of the stairs and taking her to her awaiting groom.  The ceremony was held at the gazebo at Harbor Ridge which overlooks the St. Lucie River.  After the ceremony, the guests were ushered upstairs for cocktails while we captured some great fun photos with the bridal party.  They were a great to work with and later on we captured some additional romantics photos of the bride and groom that were stunning.

After photos, the couple was introduced into the main ballroom for their 1st dance, toast, and then a delicious dinner prepared by the award winning staff at Harbor Ridge.  After dinner, the DJ got the dance floor hopping with some great music.  Then, it was time to cut the cake, throw the bouquet, and drift off to dancing under the moonlit skies on the back balcony before saying good night to everyone.  Sandra and Jeremy were a great, fun couple to work with and we wish them all of the love and happiness life has to offer.

The Bat Mitzvah of Maya Jenkins

www.memoriesbymark.com

This was a very busy weekend for us with three weddings and this event, the Bat Mitzvah of Maya Jenkins.  This was a huge multi-day event that took  the efforts of a lot of people to succeed . We started off by attending the Friday night religious services at the Temple in which Maya and her family lit the traditional candle during the service.  Afterwards, Maya and her family went to the Temple social hall for a meal with friends and family from all over the world.  Maya has relatives from France, England and several other countries all of whom came to Vero Beach to witness her Bat Mitzvah.  On early Saturday morning, it was back to the Temple again for the Saturday religious services and luncheon afterwards in the Temple social hall before everyone went back home to get a few moments rest before the massive evening party at The Moorings Country Club.



As night fell, the colored lights (provided by Memories by Mark)  began to shine throughout The Moorings as the guests made their way to the party.  The adults enjoyed cocktails in the Captains Room the kids were treated to their own unique experience at Club Maya.  A huge section of the Moorings was transformed into a kids dreamland with billiards, cotton candy, a photo booth, basketball hoops, temporary tattoos,a tiki bar, and a lounge complete with hundreds of balloons.  After an hour or so, everyone was invited into the main dining room where Maya and her family were introduced to the hundreds of her  friends and family. The evening continued with separate buffets for the kids and adults and then it was pure partying all the way until the midnight hour.  At midnight, everyone was invited outside to participate in a Chinese lantern ceremony where dozens of Chinese lanterns floated up into the sky and over the river.  This was an awesome event that I can't even begin to describe in this short space. Needless to say, this was a perfect event and Maya's mother, Bronia, deserves all of the credit for putting it all together.  Well done Bronia!
