Did this headshot of Robert Shockey on the Sanibel beach last weekend.  What a great mix of model, light and location.  Sometimes my job does itself.

Great Gatsby Themed Grand Opening for Iron Stable in Fort Myers

When I was approached to photograph this Great Gatsby themed Grand Opening party for Iron Stables Gym in Fort Myers, I happily accepted, yet had no idea what to expect. I couldn't imagine how they could turn this 9,000 sq/ft gym space into a fabulous looking party. 

What I saw when I arrived to shoot simply blew me away. The space was utterly breathtaking, the party was so fun and a major success, and the team of staff and vendors that pulled it together were  just fantastic to work with. I am delighted and honored to have been the chosen photographer to capture it all!!

The event planners Jenna Vest, Lizy Dosoretz did a magnificent job pulling the whole thing together and styling it to perfection. They captured the essence of Gatsby, and the vision of the hosts and owners Lizy Dosoretz and Jason Moon flawlessly.

As the guests arrived they received the full red carpet treatment, with red carpet, stations, and an up-lit long entrance hall in shades of purple and pink. All of this incredible lighting here and in the main room was put together by Harmon's Audio Visual.

These centerpieces were right on point for the Gatsby theme, with full white feathers, pearls, and golden candles. 

GEM catering provided all of the incredible tasty treats for the event, and kept the theme going even down to the edibles. 

Another version of a centerpiece, this time featuring some floral. GEM also provided all of the rentals for the party, and the planners designed and displayed it all perfectly. 

There were so many entertainers through a privately hired company on site, like  golden painted "statues"....

Some of the  aerialists.

The incredible design, staff, food, and entertainment drew a huge crowd that partied long into the night.

Another amazing aerialist does an impressive rope swing routine to delight the guests.

Such beauty and grace.

Not to mention flexibility!

This stunning winged dancer roamed the party, interacting with the guests.

What an incredible performance space.

There were some outstanding burlesque dancers, who put on a few different stage shows, the first being this white feather classic routine.

Such stunning beauties with a perfect mix of sexy and fun. 

It was truly an incredible performance.

The dancers were full of such joy.

Aerialists pouring champagne.

The lighting and decor was utterly fantastic. Who wouldn't want to go to this party?

We did some mini portrait shoots for the guests as part of the entertainment. The guests photos are private, but I couldn't help posting some of these taken of the burlesque dancers.

They were so stunning. 

Confetti drops from the ceiling as the lighting and music pick up to intensify the party.

The bartenders and bars themselves were dressed to the theme and looked fabulous.

The girls perform another sensual routine.

The chair dance is such a classic burlesque style dance, and never ceases to entertain.

The guests absolutely loved it. 

Striking a fabulous pose. 

The night wound down with all guests leaving so happy and exhausted from having so much fun!

All in all, this was a night I will never forget, and hope to work with this group again in the future! 

I also highly encourage you to check out this fantastic gym, Iron Stable and join today! 

Work with one of the highly qualified trainers, Seth Hayes, Jeff Evans, Nicole, Levasque, Vince Lamphere, Saad Enrique, Jonas Elliot, James Harvery and experience Crossfit or their Strike Zone Boot Camp Classes today!

Thank you again to the owners Lizy Dosoretz and Jason Moon, and the planners and the rest of the staff for allowing me the honor of photographing your event.

Rose Gold Styled Wedding Shoot at Kensington Country Club

Styled Photo shoots for wedding professionals are always a really fun way to exercise our creative muscles, and design something just for us-that is hopefully still accessible to the modern bride. 

My most recent styled shoot at Kensington Country Club was one of the most fun and gorgeous styled weddings I've had the pleasure of shooting. Working with Rebecca Ellis at the venue, as well as every other vendor and model was a delight , and the product came out wonderfully. 

We worked with a Rose gold vintage theme, incorporating pastel pinks and rusty silver. 

Paradise Paper Shop did a phenomenal job with the romantic dusty pink and gold stationary suite.

The hair and makeup by Blue Water Salon was nothing short of perfection.

Final touch ups

Our bride model, Kelsey Kohler did a fantastic job.

The hair by Blue Water Salon is just lovely. 

As is this flawless makeup

Our groom model, Mark Bowerman, looked dashing in his attire by Black Tie Tuxedo.

Our little ring bearer model, Peyton, is possibly the cutest child ever. 

Modeling with style. 

To compliment our adorable ring bearer, our flower girl model Willow is just adorably perfect.

The floral from Naples Floral Design was just perfect for this uber romantic, rose gold style.

 Her dress by Tie The Knot Bridal Couture complimented this romantic theme wonderfully.

Did I mention how adorable she was?

There were so many adorable design and decor elements, provided by Sweet Southern Charm, who never ceases to amaze. 

Trying to be the flower girl. 

This is the personification of bridal elegance. 

The gorgeous ceremony with more amazing floral work, and white benches provided by Niche Event Rental

Perfect way to bring out the little ones for that trek down the aisle. 

Kelsey and Mark doing a fabulous job of looking "just married"!

These portraits all came out so wonderfully. 

Gorgeous Escort Display

Taking a break and being silly.

The menu cards were the perfect compliment to these rose textured linens by  Connie Duglin Specialty Linen.

Kensington provided gorgeous catering displays.

The sweetheart table is pure perfection. 

Sweet Southern Charm did an amazing job styling these romantic details.

Yum. 

Sweet as a sweetheart table can be. 

For the celebration.

Love the large, lush chairs utilized.

This picture is everything. 

 She wouldn't wear the crown so he did. 

 Paradise Paper Shop knocked it out of the park with the menu cards.

Sweet way to serve salt and pepper.

Finally sitting down! 

Thanks to all of the vendors, this styled shoot turned out just perfect. Cannot wait to collaborate again soon!
