I walked in to the house and Jorge was peacefully nervous (if that makes sense)...It was like nothing could have prepared him for this day, the day that he would seal his commitment to the woman of his dreams. It was all surreal...Jorge is a big teddy bear...Heart of Gold and It was incredible to see him marry the woman of his dreams.
Jen...what can I say about you??? Your mind was moving a mile a minute that day, but once you saw Jorge it was like your life once again made sense, it was a blessing to be able to witness such a powerful love like the one that you and Jorge share.
Paul and I had a blast artistically documenting you beautiful day...I am so happy for the two of you.
God bless you and your life together...
And Jen, remember...if there is anything you ever need, you give me a call!
I love you guys...

Sunday Night and I am prepping to dig my garden tomorrow... :) I had to get a couple of teaser photos from the official first wedding to kick start the 2010 Wedding season...
Enjoy and Stay Tuned for the full wedding post COMING SOON!
The much anticipated blog post has finally arrived.
Several of you have been asking me when these photos would be going up and I personally could not wait to share my first time in NYC with you lovely people. I have been extremely busy with school but now I am proud to announce that I am officially finished my post secondary education. Life will truly be lived from here on out, that is a promise! (To me)
Now on to NYC...
The ride was long and rough...but I somehow managed to make it on only 2 hours of sleep. (not recommended BTW) We arrived in the big city, but took a detour to Brooklyn to pick up what I initially went there for ... My brand new Canon 5D mkII, equip with my new 50mm f/1.2 and 16-35mm f/2.8 lenses!!! NYC is a perfect place to test out new gear :)
I went with 2 friends Amanda + Kev (they made sure I mentioned them...hi guys). They told me I would have a tough time dealing with them throughout the trip, but they were fine, partially because I learned to tune them out :) But seriously, they showed me the NYC ropes, as I was inexperienced. Their main objective was to insure that I had a good time and that I took some stellar photos, which I will let you judge for yourself. I would have been lost without you guys, so thank you very very much for introducing me to the big city which I have now fallen in love with. This trip will never be forgotten.
Truth is the true appreciation of the city didn't kick in until a couple of hours before we left. I didn't get to see close to as much as I wanted to, but that's ok because now it gives me more reason to keep going back...and each time I go, Roxy (the name I gave my camera this weekend) is coming along for the ride.
NYC is amazingly awesome and I look forward to sharing many more adventures with you from there and around the world...simply because I want to see it all :) (and so does Roxy)

I loooovvveeee taking pictures, but not just any pictures. I love capturing those moments that people may forget about, the expressions that emerge when you are extraordinarilly happy, and you feel like everything is perfect. I love to look for those moments. A photo can mean so much when a couple is looking into each other's eyes with a soft smile on their lips because they know they are staring at the person who they love with all their heart and soul and at that moment they know they couldn't ask for anything more. To me photography is about art and expression, I am not a fan of the traditional wedding photography. I don't like the "hey look at me and say cheese" photo. To me it is so much more, it is about a moment captured between two people that expresses their love. When I take photos I like to do very little posing, I would rather stay at a distance and wait for those moments to come...But at the same time I am a big fan of art and fashion and a lot of my influence comes from abstract art and fashion photography, so when I do pose I like it to be interesting and for that pose to tell a story.
