I think it's safe to say that we can never get tired of shooting at Lighthouse Point. If you've known us for awhile, you'll know it holds a special place in our hearts as the place where Esteban got married to Roxanne. We had the pleasure of capturing Kelley and Chris there in 2014, and we were extremely excited when we met with Catie and Derek and they told us they were celebrating there as well in 2015. If we had to file one complaint about 2016, it's that we aren't shooting any weddings there this year, although we're not completely opposed to getting a jump start on our wedding crasher career just so we can hang out there again. We'll see.
Catie and Derek - why are you two so awesome? Let us count the ways... or photograph the ways... you get what we're trying to say. It's clear you are both madly in love, and it's not just because Derek wrote it on a chalkboard. You both compliment each other so well, and it was truly our pleasure to photograph your wedding. We sincerely wish you both the best, forever and ever.
Catie & Derek- in their own words
Esteban and Marc were the perfect photographers for us! They completely understood our laid back vision for our special day! We asked for mostly candid photos that captured not only our emotions/feelings for the day, but also our family and friends. They absolutely captured these, as well as all the little details! They also got along great with our bridal party and our guests! Esteban and Marc really master the balance of being professional, but also personal. We truly feel as if these guys have become our friends! We can not recommend them enough!
