VOTED AGAIN! THE KNOT BEST OF WEDDINGS 2008!

Focused on Forever Studio is pleased to announce it has been selected again as a 2008 Pick for The Knot Best of Weddings magazine (we were also selected in 2007 as well!), a coast-to-coast, by-brides-for-brides guide to the top wedding sites, photographers, florists, and more in over 40 key cities across the United States published by The Knot Inc. (www.theknot.com), the #1 wedding website and most trusted wedding resource.

South Florida newlyweds contributed their raves and reviews on the area’s wedding professionals. The newlyweds were asked to rate their vendors on multiple criteria, from creativity to professionalism, and to comment on their experiences. The resulting ratings—and detailed feedback—were aggregated by the editors of The Knot to create this one-of-a-kind publication highlighting the best wedding resources in each region according to local brides. The survey was administered by Harris Interactive.

“Our Studio is once again ecstatic about receiving this award. We are completely dedicated to providing our couples with spectacular images and cinematic films that capture life and document the most important day in our couple’s lives, and we are honored that our past and future brides recognize and greatly appreciate the award winning work we produce.”

We hope you will join us in celebrating this tremendous accolade.

Sincerely,

Ryan and Andrea Zapatka, Studio Owners

Jennifer & Adam's Wedding

From the moment I walked into Jennifer's hotel room, she was such a sweetheart to me. I really wanted to give her the best that I could. Unfortunately the weather wasnt all too great for the earlier portion of the day, but lucky for us it cleared up for a really beautiful sunset. The whole day was very relaxed and enjoyable for everyone, I wish every weekend went this smoothly!

Erin & Patrick's Wedding

Sigh... what a beautiful wedding Erin and Patrick had! I can’t help but think how much it reminded me of my own wedding since I also had my wedding at Frenchman’s Reserve back in April. Erin has got to be one of the most gorgeous brides I have ever seen! I was so excited to shoot this wedding but even more excited after I saw how beautiful she looked. The whole day went off perfect and I had a blast with the whole bridal party. I shot so many beautiful images from this wedding that it was honestly hard to narrow it down to the few I put here on the blog, but I will be putting more up on the website it the featured weddings section in the next couple of weeks! Well I hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I did!

"A Day With The Ducks" was a success!

"A Day With The Ducks" is unfortunately over! We had such a great time at the park with all of the kids that came out to see us! I am so pleased with how our first annual Day With The Ducks went, I couldnt have asked for anything better! It was such an amazing day on Sunday, with not a cloud in the sky and the weather stayed consistantly in the 60's the whole day it seemed. As if that isn't great enough, I had the cutest children ever! I am so lucky to have such a great job and work with so many cuties! Now I just can't wait until next year's event!

My favorite photograph of Niki
Nicoletta & Jason's Breakers Wedding

I can't believe Niki & Jason's wedding is over! We just love this couple, and we are so sad that we won't get to see them anymore! Their wedding was just an absolute dream, and I felt so honored to be there to share it with them. They are truly in love and I would be lying if I said I didn't get choked up a few times during the day just watching them. I can't say this 15 hour day was easy for us, but we really enjoyed capturing every moment! We couldn't have asked for a nicer location, the Breakers is an unbelievable place to have an event, and I wish I could photograph there every weekend!
