Last Sunday I had the pleasure of capturing images of this beautiful mother and her daughter in the beautiful city of Coral Gables Florida.
I hope you enjoy the small preview of this wonderful afternoon in the area of Coral Gables.
Tuve el gran placer de tomarle las fotos de su Boda a una preciosa novia el mes pasado en el area de Miami conocida como el Doral. Ambos el novio y la novia vinieron desde Raleigh North Carolina para compartir este bello evento en sus vidas con sus familiares y amigos.
La bella novia se preparo en el salon de belleza Rose ubicado en el area de Biscayne y la 7o calle. El estilista Jhon Amaya hizo una obra de arte en el maquillaje de la novia. Pero claro cuando la muchacha es bella en si misma no es necesario tanto trabajo. La ceremonia fue hecha en la iglesia catolica Our Lady of Guadalupe y por ultimo la recepcion en el Killian Palms Country Club.
Espero que disfruten las imagenes y si tuvieran alguna pregunta por favor dejar un comentario o tambien pueden comunicarse por telefono: 305-498-2646
Pronto les mostrare mas de las bellas imágenes tomadas de una preciosa familia del area de los Redland cerca de Homestead. El lugar usado para estas bellas imágenes fue el Rancho Victoria cuál dueño es el Señor Pedro Sifuentes uno de los principales Agricultores de la zona de Homestead. El gran caballo usado lleva por nombre “Lucho” y es un impresionante ejemplar de ecuestre domado.
Here are a few images from a recent Quinces Photo Shoot done in Villa Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Wynwood Walls and the Gold Coast Railroad Museum.
Fine Art Wedding Photography: The Wedding I Never Shot.
Medium Format Film Photography
A few months back I had the pleasure to be invited to attend as a guest a wedding for a family member. I took the opportunity to bring along my Mamiya C220 Medium Format Film camera and five rolls of Kodak Portra 400 film. Since I was not officially the photographer for the event, hence the title of this post, I had the freedom to shoot without needing to abide to a specific shoot list. I used an old Gossen Lunasix light meter to measure existing light. I was giving this camera by a very kind man with the an old camera case and also a Sunpack 522. The wedding ceremony was held outside around 5:00pm which for South Florida in November is ideal time to get the most beautiful light. I hope you enjoy some of the images that came out of those five rolls of film.
A Preview of Wedding Photography in Key Largo Florida
When Kelly first contacted me over a year ago from China about her Destination Wedding in the Florida Keys at first I was a bit surprised and hesitant. Usually when someone contacts you from another country like Nigeria the first thing that we think of is scam!! But that was not the case, as we continued to email back and forth she told me of her plans to marry the dream of her life which she actually met in China.
A few months after our initial contact we met while she came to the South Florida area to look at the different venues available for her beautiful Destination Wedding in a tropical setting like only the Florida Keys can offer. On a side note on a that meeting I noticed how organized she was with all her tabs placed in her three ring binder, it was perfect with the details. She had done her trial make up session and I took a few test shots outside of Starbucks, which I never showed her because my camera lens has actually fogged up from the difference in humidity and temperature. Not a good start for me!!
During the months leading to her beautiful wedding I kept in touch with her as she made her final decision on the venue. She decided on Coconut Cove Resort in Islamorada (spanish for purple island) even though the hard head locals pronounce it aisle-a-more-AH-dah It is still Isla Morada I’s an inside joke since I know a few of those hard headed locals 😉
The Resort is owned and run by Paul and Magda Bates a beautiful couple with a great family and a great crew that never stopped working all the time that we were there. They provided the accommodations, rehearsal dinner, decorations, ceremony, reception dinner and even the grand finale of the first dance: Fireworks!!
I prepared a small preview of the many images of the two day event that my beautiful wife and I captured. Yes she went along and she was a tremendous help. I think she might becoming part of my crew 😉
Here is the short preview in video form showing the stunning sunrise and more important a very loving and beautiful couple:
When Ali asked me to be the photographer of her wedding at beginning of this year I never dreamed that it would turn out to be such an amazing event. From the venue, the flowers, the dress and all the details every thing was top notch. Here is a small preview from Fridays long but rewarding day, hope you enjoy.
From a recent family mini session in a beautiful pinecrest area park. This little boy was all smiles because behind the photographer there was a professional child wrangler 😉 Actually it was his aunt making all the funny faces and the gestures that got him to smile. We had a wonderful time going around the park and capturing his beautiful smile. The boots are an extra bonus picture for the family…
Right now we are coming into the perfect weather here in South Florida for family photography in the late afternoons. The temperature will began to drop as we come closer to the end of summer. The sun will be setting sonner giving us a beautiful light to capture these images that will become family treasures in the years to come after the kids are all grown up and have left the nest. Give me a call and schedule a mini photography session. Hope you enjoy the pics.
