Bonjour :-) In Paris!

I'm so thrilled to be blogging today from Paris, France....i'm shooting j.lo's wedding (again) ha ha no just kidding! I'm actually just hanging out with 3 of my good photographer friends and working on some personal photography projects. Its such a breath of fresh air to be able to travel to a country i've never been to with such great people! My father was also able to briefly join us which was a lot of fun!

I'll have pictures here from Paris soon, the internet in our 17th Century accomodations is unavailable temporarily. The Juliette Apartment Suite is such an adventure in and of itself with so many cool unique features! Here are some pics (taken by another professional) of where we are staying:

I will be returing to the United States on the 14th - i'm available by e-mail and will be checking in on messages by phone

Engagements :-)!

I had a blast visiting my good friend Katherine Tolentino and surrogate family in Louisiana again where we shot some lovely engagement pics!

Meet the super cool couple Lauren and Nicco:

Major Props to Katherine for finding this killer location (yes we did get kicked out...and no...I cant reveal where this secret place is lol!) with cool colors and awesome light!

Lauren and Nicco are HOT. VERY HOT. I had so much fun shooting you guys Thanks so much Katherine, Brandon and Troy for being incredible hosts and even more incredible friends!!

Bridals in the SOUTH!

I'm here visiting with my good friend Joshua Smith (the greatest videographer to ever walk the planet) and today we had a ton of fun shooting bridals for an upcoming wedding this weekend in Louisiana!! Traditionally in the south the bride gets fully ready for a bridal portrait session before the wedding - this is a great idea and we had a blast today shooting in some killer locations!

Here is the slideshow!!

I've been shooting so much lately its hard to keep up with things on the blog! I am going to go back and blog each of my weddings and hopefully do so more frequently. I can only post a couple of quick images because im off to California this weekend to shoot 2 beautiful weddings and see a lot of old friends . This wedding was a lavish and very unique affair at the Ritz Carlton, Orlando.

Some early shots of the bride getting ready:

Ok I gotta pack and try and get some things finished before my early flight tommorrow.

Keri and Kevin - Scottsdale, AZ

Sun, 18 Jun 2006 14:10:32 GMT

I am so excited about life as of late! I wake up everyday with a challenging schedule ahead of me but the clients being happy makes it all worth it. I have a slew of spectacular weddings that i've had the privellage of attending that I will be posting over the next few days. I am going to start with one of the coolest couples i've ever met, Keri and Kevin and their Scottsdale, AZ Wedding:

This image was particularly important as this gentlemen flew in from Iraq to attend the wedding, the emotions ran high even early in the day.

If your considering getting married, get the longest viel possible..it makes for great photos.

The brides sister (a prominent AZ wedding planner) was also really fun
during the day, she took some awesome pictures herself which were in
their pre-ceremony slideshow. I love shooting getting ready, I could do it all day:

Everything was falling into place and she was getting more and more immaculate by the second!

This couple opted to get some cool pics at their location before the
ceremony and ease some of the stress of the day, it was a good choice
we got to wonder around Scottfire Golf course for some intimate bride
and groom moments:

Then back to the church for the ceremony!

Keri and Kevin went on a lavish honeymoon that was very romatic - no one (not even me) knew where they were going except the groom and the mother of the bride! I know they will be hapy together forever and I really enjoyed shooting your wedding.

Congratulations Keri and Kevin!
Also a huge thank you to Jefferson Todd for showing me a great time while in AZ!
