Welcome

Hi. Welcome to our NEW BLOG! Thank you for visiting our site. We are a team of several people that make all this come together and happen. The blog however is updated by me, Melissa. Javier is my husband and together we started Simply Captivating Productions, Inc. in January of 2007. Our experience and passion in photography & cinematography however existed long before we gave it a name. I personally have been shooting for 8 years now, since our son was 3 months old.

In 2008 we were named as one of the best companies to use by South Florida Knotties. We were so happy, honored, and truly humbled to be picked as one of the 2008 Knot Best of Weddings! Thank you to all that voted and everyone that has sent us messages and support throughout the year!

We provide a unique perspective of your wedding through our images and footage. We love clients that are just as much excited about their memories being captured as they are about their wedding.

Below you will find all of our latest work. Each week I will post my favorite images of the week and talk a little bit about our experience on each shoot.

B + Z Wedding Recap from SimplyCaptivating on Vimeo.

Anika & George Have a Baby!!! Introducing Maddox!

As everyone knows in June this year it will be 1 year since I have stopped taking new portrait clients, instead we are referring all of our Baby and family sessions to my sister in law at www.BreathtakingMemories.com We have only been covering weddings for the past year. However I did have to keep a promise I made to Anika when she first met me that I would one day photograph their baby. I was so excited since I had not photographed a newborn since last year.
So here is my take on Baby Maddox’s Newborn Portraits.

















Lisette & Alex, Doral Country Club

Lisette and Alex are such a special couple. They are so sweet and just knowing everything that has gone on and that they have had to endure together already makes their story even more special.
