Alaric's Event ~ Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove

Another eventful weekend has flown by, and as usual, we have had many events unfold. One in particular, at the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, struck us as exceptionally touching. This was not just any typical party, wedding, or mitzvah celebration. We were given the honor of capturing a momentous night for a man named Alaric at a special celebration called "The Next Level" to honor Alaric and encourage him in his life and entering the next phase of accomplishments. Given Alaric's numerous awards, honors, and achievements, his Mother Sharon, proudly arranged for this surprise celebration. In fact, he was not aware of the night's festivities in his honor until he was escorted to the ballroom where 80 of his closest friends and family were waiting anxiously.

As always, the wonderful staff of the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove provided succulent food and premier attention to every detail. Guests were treated to an evening of dinner and drinks, and even a comedy show, hosted by Ramon Garcia and entertained by Comedian Malik.

Toward the end of the evening, guests danced the night away to the sounds of Exquisite Sound Productions DJ, and savored a delectable cake creation from Ana Paz cakes.

What a touching celebration of love and praise for a Mother to show her son. Well done Sharon!

Jessica & Scott ~ The Biltmore Hotel

What a fabulous wedding for our team! We had the honor of filming Jessica and Scott at one of our most noteable venues, The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. Such an amazing property with an old world charm, while exuding a flair for today's sophisticated style.

Jessica was radiant in her gown from Chic Parisian, and glowed during the romantic ceremony in the Alhambra room. Jessica & Scott's love for each other was truly evident when they kissed for a full minute after their ceremony! While these intimate moments are typically missed by most videographers, our experienced team was right there to capture every minute. When family & friends shortly followed with gestures of love, hugs, & kisses, every wonderful moment of this tender time was captured with our quiet eye & making certain that Jessica & Scott will always be able to relive these moments.

After an energetic introduction of the new Mr. & Mrs. by the Drew T. band, guests danced the night away.... At the end of the evening, everyone's sweet tooth was satisfied with a scrumptous cake provided by one of Miami's most noteable bakers, Ana Paz Cakes.

We would like to commend the creative team of Roy Llera & Associates for their inspiring photography of such a beautiful couple, family, & property. They are true artists of their craft & we love working with them!

Stay tuned... video coming soon!

Welcome to Fall!

Okay, so I know I haven't been the best at keeping up with the blog.... but I've decided to try & make a conscious effort to keep up with things from here on out. It's been a very busy year for our Broadway Team, and in addition to the many Weddings & Events we've captured, we have spent a good portion of the year working diligently to up our game.


In the present day of our lagging economy, and with the hopes of a multitude of changes our new President Elect will hopefully bring next year, we have been making lots of changes here at Broadway in the form of updating our website and creating innovative and technologically advanced showcase pieces.


As Vince and I approach our first Wedding Anniversary (wow how time flies!), I am also reminded of what a magical time it was for us last year at this very time. We are in full swing with many Weddings & Events approaching and are as busy as ever, and each time I speak with an upcoming Bride, I gently remind them to savor this time. As stressful as those pre-wedding moments can be leading up to the big day, trust me.... it WILL go by so quickly that you will wish you could relive those feelings all over again. I guess that's part of why I am so passionate about video; it truly is the only way you will be able to relive the sights, sounds, & laughter of such a momentous occasion.


As the weather changes, I hope everyone looks forward to a wonderful upcoming holiday season, with many hopes for next year as a year of positive change for our country.


Until next time....
