Architecture: Kovens Conference Center

Posted by ulkare - 30/07/10 at 12:07:35 am

A new location we had a pleasure to photograph at several months ago but only now are finally getting a chance to post and tell you about. Roz & Cal Kovens Conference Center is part of the Florida International University campus in North Miami. It is the quintessence of what both Danila and I favor a lot, along with those old shabby-chic Tuscany or Provence style houses, but don’t get me started on these ones here… – anyway, a sharp, crisp, minimalistic architecture, which turned out to be the perfect backdrop for Annette and Mike’s Asian-themed wedding. In the next post you’ll see the wedding photographs per se and will admire how original and detail-oriented Annette’s vision is. This place was just the right choice for their big day.

The following were taken by Danila in what seemed to be barely 5 minutes he had to run around and snap some shots of the exterior. Great job, partner!

Wedding Album: Courtney & Dax

Posted by ulkare - 19/07/10 at 07:07:57 pm

One of our most favorite couples of all times – Courtney and Dax – tied the knot in the romantic, inspiring and laid-back Key West. Their wedding was the first one this year – January 2 – and you would not believe it how freezing it was in the southernmost part of the U.S. that day. I literally had to duck under the heating lamps for a couple of seconds every once in a while to be able to start feeling my fingers again. Needless to say, our second shooter was forced out of his sweatshirt in no time. His jacket followed shortly…

Despite the chill the ceremony in the beautiful St. Mary Star of the Sea was very moving, with all nearby roosters participating at their loudest. The reception party at the Truman Little White House rocked and we even got a private midnight tour around the house with the bride and groom posing as The Trumans themselves. Unbelievable!

What I want to share today is the album we designed and printed for Courtney and Dax. When they received it in the mail, this is what Courtney emailed me:
“We received our album and it is amazing! We love it. You guys did a great job with everything. Since before the wedding we have really been impressed with your professionalism as well as your creativity. Thank you so much for making this such an amazing experience. We couldn’t be happier with the way all the pictures turned out. Thank you again!”

You can view more photos of the album here. And here you can flip all the pages and see the design in detail. Selected photographs from Courtney and Dax’s wedding are located here.
