Shannon and Clay

Yesterday was the wedding of Shannon and Clay.

It went so great and according to schedule, because

it was orchestrated by Sherri Lucero of Planned to Perfection.

They included a lot of neat details in their wedding,

like a basket of flip flops by the dance floor, and stones

with each guests name IN them (see photo below).

It was a fun day. Family and friends were great to work

with. Congratulations to Shannon and Clay!!!

A couple of these images below were taken by my second

shooter, Ana Counts. She was a BIG help to me yesterday!

Abby and Ben

This is a shoot from yesterday afternoon. Abigail and Benjamin

are six month old twins. For the first 30 minutes or so,

they were content and in to having their pictures taken.

Then Ben got tired and Abby got hungry. So our session

ran a bit short, but we got the following adorable shots while

we could.

Nadia and Will in Utica, New York!

A week ago, I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding in Utica, NewYork which is in upstate New York. Nadia and Will are from Arizona, but wanted to get married in New York. Utica had some cold rainy weather while we were there. Before the ceremony, we were able to go outside for some photos, but we froze our butts off doing it. During the ceremony, it started to pour outside along with heavy winds. So we weren't able to go outside after the ceremony. But regardless, we got some amazing photos. The camera loves Nadia. Will however doesn't like having his picture taken, but he looked dapper in front of the camera. It was a long journey, but Ana (my second shooter) and I loved every minute of it! Congratulations to Nadia and Will!

New York, here we come!

A week ago, I left for New York. I had a wedding in Utica,

which is upstate New York. My friend and fellow photographer,

Ana, accompanied me as my second shooter. The wedding

day was rained out about half way through, but the interior

of the hotel was beautiful. Then we travelled to New York

City and stayed there for 2 nights. We had a room with a great

view. We took advantage of the double decker tour bus

to see all of downtown, plus So Ho, Chinatown, Wall Street,

and much much more. It was a trip of a lifetime (my first

time to New York)!

The New York wedding photos will be on the blog in a few days or so.
