AILEEN & ERIK'S CINEMATIC VIDEO

Aileen & Erik's classic cinematic film is now online to view! They got ready at Mayfair Hotel, one of my favorite "getting ready" spots in Coral Gables. Check out the fun "spinning" shot with Aileen's priceless "funny faces" in the getting ready shots--she was having fun I would say! They got married in January at the beautiful Plymouth Congregational Church in Coral Gables....Congrats to them both on a wonderful wedding!

Tiffany & Stephan's Wedding

Saturday turned out to be such a beautiful day even though we all thought for sure it would rain. Tiffany looked so fantastic, and even though I think she had a stressful morning, I think, or I hope she had a wonderful day anyway. It surely seemed that she did! SO now they are off to their honeymoon, I hope ya'll have a wonderful time!

Jennifer & Kevin's Wedding

Jennifer and Kevin are really great friends of ours, and we were so honored to be able to capture their wedding. It is also one of the few weddings I've been to where I was also treated as a guest at the reception, complete with my own placecard and my own chair at a table of our friends! It was really different for us! We had such a great time of course and I was really happy that we were able to get those last few shots at the end of the night with a really cool lit tree in the background! I just love when the bride and groom let me be creative like that!

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!
