Tina and Ron's sunset wedding

Stevie and Bob traveled to beautiful Lido Key (Sarasota, FL) for Tina Billmaier and Ron Shapiro's wedding day. Although a bit colder than expected, the sunset was beautiful. The beach was snow white and the couple exchanged vows amongst close friends and family. A lovely reception followed at the Lido Beach Resort. The evening ended with the groom and friends playing music and singing along.

Sandcastles in Naples

Grand Lubell is off to Florida for the destination wedding of Tina and Ron, but not without a few days off. Monday we visited the beach at the Ritz Carlton, Naples to find sand artist Victor Leong of Miami Beach Sandcastles. A true artist, Victor works only with his hands and water drip to sculpture. Did I mention that the temperature was about 45 degrees with 40 mile per hour gusts off the gulf? The work is fantastic and would be even more spectacular if we could have seen the night show. If the wind was down, they would have added flaming towers to the castle.

Tuesday we will shoot Tina and Ron's wedding on the beach in Sarasota at the Lido Beach Resort. We hope to brave 55 degrees and 8 mile per hour winds.
