Wedding Photography | Miami & Fort Lauderdale | Daniel Lateulade

Last week my good friend and fellow wedding photog Karen Lisa invited me along to shoot Ciara & Joe’s rad South Beach engagement session with her. I woke up that morning to the gray beginning of an ugly, rainy day, and had just about written off the possibility of the shoot going on when I got a call from Karen. The Weather Channel said we’d have a 90 minute dry window later that afternoon, and we were still on. I had to have her repeat it twice because the sound of the rain was drowning her out, but I’m glad we took the chance!

A wet walk to the car and an hour of traffic later, and I pulled into South Pointe Park. The weather was amazing down there! Joe and Ciara are such a great couple, and were crazy fun to shoot. Watching the way they joked and laughed with one another reminded me of why it is I love doing this so much — my job is to hang out with people in love and help tell the story of one of the happiest days of their lives. It doesn’t get much better.

Be sure to check out Karen’s photos too!

Our friend Blake (possibly the most grizzled looking optometrist-to-be to walk the streets of Fort Lauderdale) is so excited about his new fixed gear bike that all his talk rubbed off on me, and I’m looking for one of my own. Matte black frame, black hardware, black wheels.

We decided to take it onto the roof of a friend’s seventh story loft and take some pictures overlooking the city. That didn’t last long.

When you can’t ride your bike on the roof without the whole neighborhood getting upset, the terrorists have won.
