Astrid and Rene Photography

Rene and I had such a fantastic time photographing Samantha and Erick in the heart of downtown Naples...

When I think of that kind of love that is the truest kind of love, the kind of love that endures through life’s ups and waaaay downs, the kind of love that makes you feel like nothing in this world can bring you down, and the kind of love that lets you be yourself completely I think of Liz and...

We had the super-duper honor of preserving our friends’ Jon and Abigail’s wedding memories. We’ve known Jon for a while now and of course, not only was it a pleasure to participate in such a beautiful day, but we couldn’t be happier that Jon and Abigail found each other...

Rene and I wanted to wish our mom’s a wonderful Mother’s Day. Being parents ourselves now, we can really appreciate all the many sacrifices our mothers have made for us throughout their lives. And as parents, nothing is more important to us than our girls...

It’s getting too hot to enjoy camping comfortably down in these parts of Florida. So our last camping trip before summer sets in was a really a wonderful one. We took a week off and headed up to the Oscar Scherer State Part, in Sarasota, Florida, ready to explore our world! What a lovely park...

Here’s a peek at the fantabulous wedding of Jennifer and Claude. What a lovely couple! Not only is Jennifer absolutely beautiful, but her taste is divine. I can’t wait to put up all the images of the beautiful ceremony and brunch reception...

Yes, it’s true and we had no idea either! We were totally taken aback at just how lovely, how quaint, how Southern and how unique Ocala really is! I can’t believe that I’ve lived here in Florida almost my whole life and I never made the drive to visit such a hidden Florida jewel...

~ Happy Earth Day! ~ And so you might be thinking, thanks, but so what? Well, I used to be like that, too. It wasn’t until I took an environmental studies class in college, did I start to open my eyes to all the little things I could do to make a small difference...

I finally put aside some time to create the canvasses I wanted of my girls from a series of portraits I shot of them late last year. I just love this series and I had them as small 5 x 7’s in a vertical frame hanging on a wall...

Rene and I have the best job in the world! And I don’t like to use the word ‘job’ because it’s most definitely not a job or work! For us, recording weddings is a privilege...

The bridal gown! What woman doesn’t love a beautiful gown that not only looks great on her but makes her feel like a princess? And to boot, in an incredibly delicate color and a fantastic style that dazzles everyone! I loved so much how I felt in my gown...

It’s that time of year again when I sit down and comb through all the weddings we shot the previous year, looking for the best images to submit for competitions and magazines...

Now that we have some weekends off to enjoy each other’s company, we like to take weekend excursions to all sorts of neat and offbeat spots right in our own backyard. It’s really amazing just what you can find within a few hours if you look hard enough...

Moving along with editing, I wanted to post this quick teaser of Jon and Abigail’s wedding. Having such a fantastic backdrop that is the beaches here in Naples, Florida, we don’t often get to shoot weddings at churches. And I love to shoot in churches...

I’ve been so very hard at work on Brittaney and Nic’s wedding. I wish I could say that shooting is the toughest part of our day. But really, our post production work flow is very involved and demands so much more of us. Our style is what sets us apart and that vision doesn’t come quick...

One of my resolutions for the New Year is to try to get better organized with my time! So I’m finally catching up and blogging about Agata and Steve’s lovely wedding held at the Naples Grande Beach Resort here in spectacular Naples, Florida...

The totally cool Wedding Chicks has a feature on erica + tanner’s very special day in the real weddings section! If you haven’t visited Wedding Chicks yet, head over there PRONTO! Amy and Jocey run an absolutely must-visit-very-often site, dedicated to all wedding-style-fashion related...

The last time I went camping I was probably 8 years old. My mom, dad, aunt and uncle packed up the ol’ station wagon and we set forth, destination Texas and yes, we drove from Naples all the way to Dallas, camping the whole way there. We did camp in actual tents and we stayed in cabins a lot, too...

Rene and I have been shooting together now for 8 years. We started our humble beginnings learning the ropes from a great local photographer who was gracious enough to teach us and inspire us. If you are reading this, thanks so much! 2008 marks our first year in business for ourselves...

We had a wonderful holiday week, finally slowing down after a long and intense season! Even though we aren’t done yet with albums and portraits and family pictures, we’ve tried to slow down this week to catch our breaths and enjoy our family...

I’m still working on a lot of weddings that have been shot in the last three months but are still receiving our magic touch (yes, we do take that long to deliver, and if you wonder why, read this great post by Anne Ruthman. Anne explains it much more eloquently than I can...
