Duck, duck…

October 31, 2008

goat. I would be better off being a duck or a goat in Jamaica right now.  Well except goat is on every menu.  It’s been raining buckets almost since we got here. Still hoping for great wedding weather tomorrow!!! Here’s some Halloween Jamaica for ya.

On the road again…

October 29, 2008

I’m off for my last destination wedding of the year and a super fun engagement session.  I’m going to keep both locations a secret, can you guess?  I will be back in the office answering emails and phone calls on November 6th.  For now please enjoy some holga grass.

Bridals with Nicole…

October 27, 2008

while I was out in New Mexico for Amy and Ana’s wedding I shot some bridals with Nicole.  Nicole came out to shoot the wedding with me and brought along her gown so we could have some fun.  She’s getting married next year were just not sure when yet.  I wish more gals in CA would do bridal shoots.  I kind of think of them like a day after shoot without the groom who doesn’t want to be there!  I’M KIDDING!  I know all MY grooms really love the day after shoots!  Anyway here’s a little peak of Nicole’s bridals Part I.  I say Part I cause who knows if we will do more.  These were done in about 45 minutes at about 7 am.  After shooting a wedding the day before.  And it was cold, cold.   My fingers were frozen.  And poor Nicole was turning blue towards the end.  I think you’ve got the picture.  But still, I think I might want to move to New Mexico, what a goldmine of shooting opportunities.

I don’t even know where to start with a post about Colleen and Jimmy’s wedding.  I have been looking forward to their wedding for over a year, since shooting their engagement photos at Coney Island last August after they won the engagement photo contest giveaway of 2007.   If you go back and read those two posts I think you will see why they hold a special place in my heart.  I felt like I knew them so well already and of course had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy’s family last summer.  Over the past year Colleen and I had exchanged many, many emails about the wedding planning, the gown, the flowers, etc…  To see it all come together was awesome. 

And the wedding day was a blast.  Fun.  Funny at times (I could do an entire post on the limo ride over to the ceremony itself!).  Emotional.  Joyful.  A few tears.  A little bit of nervousness.  Lots of friends and family, tons of hugs and kisses.  Thank you both again for letting me be a part of your wedding.  You both deserve only the best.  Enjoy!

Holga chandelier…

October 20, 2008

one of my recent weddings had the most amazing 5′ chandeliers hanging from the trees during the reception.  I just got this back today.  Can’t wait to share more from this wedding soon.  It’s another Rebecca Stone wedding.

What’s been going on…

October 19, 2008

well lots.  I just returned from Amy and Ana’s amazing wedding in Pinos Altos, New Mexico, it was great!  Now I’m home for a full 10 days before heading off to Jamaica for a destination wedding I’m so excited about.  Before I leave I plan to blog a few weddings (I think there are 6 in a holding pattern waiting to make an appearance on the blog!) and a few other fun things.  So please hang in there.  I know things have been quiet on the old blog lately but my shooting schedule is slowing down a little and wedding season is coming to an end.  That means time to share some of the wonderful weddings I haven’t had a chance to share yet.  Meanwhile…here’s a photo from a bridal shoot I did for my good friend, and wonderful photographer, Nicole while we were in New Mexico this weekend.  This was taken with the 45mm tilt shift and I love the dreamlike quality.  More coming soon.  And yes, some in focus.
