Without further ado...I present...Cabo...Part 1

...and so it begins. The first in a series of posts featuring my recent trip to Los Cabos, Mexico. Over 4 days of shooting, highlighted by two spectacular weddings. And memories to last a lifetime. I cannot begin to thank you all for the experience. Having artistic freedom in such an beautiful environment was a dream come true. Thank you to Lori and Erik for believing in me...I'm so excited about these photos!! Enormous gratitude to Leslie and Silvio for including us in your very intimate, very special event. To Andrea Maunz for getting this whole thing rolling, I owe you big time. And to everyone who attended, it was pure magic. Erich Camping...my man. I couldn't imagine doing this without you. Thank you for bringing your 'A-game'. Your images ROCK!!

So...the photos from Lori and Erik's Wedding are uploading as we speak. Should be done by mid-week, barring complications. I managed to narrow it down to about 850. This will require a few cups of coffee and some serious time in front of the computer, but I assure you that it's worth it. At least, I hope that you all think it's worth it!!

As far as blog posts go, I am going to break them down into three postings...this being the first. Two more to follow that will feature ceremony and reception. These are just preps...and in the interest of space, i had to leave some out. The first image, however, I did not leave out.This is why I do what I do...I'll let the photos talk for a while...
















Like I said...this is just a preview. I will let everyone know when the upload is complete so that you can see the entire event. Just leave a comment or drop an email and I will get you on a list.

Careful what you wish for...

Hey Everyone!!

I hope that this finds you well.

I am well.

I'm super swamped lately. I feel kinda like I'm swimming against a current, but I'm enjoying it more the more I fight it...is that wierd?? That being said, I wanted to take a moment to thank my amazing supporting cast of friends and family who've been putting up with my spazz nature lately. I love you all and appreciate you enormously. That goes for everyone...friends, family, clients, peers, mentors...you all rock! So to all my peeps...thank you.

I'll keep it short...tommy need sleepy. Here are some pics from a recent wedding. Steph and Pat came in from Colorado to celebrate with friends and family back home in Rochester. We had a blast with this crew. We're really looking forward to heading out to Colorado in July to see you guys. Nothing like some Rocky Mountain Sky...so fired up!! I brought along the super-talented Kelli Marsh on the gig who worked so hard for so long, and came away with some killer images. Thank you Kel...you were (and are) amazing.

Cabo weddings coming up hopefully by the weekend...stay tuned!!

Cheers,

Hangin w the boys in Canandaigua

Hello Hello!!

Two weeks have already passed since shooting this breathtaking wedding @ Morgan Samuel's Bed & Breakfast in Canadaigua, New York. The day couldn't have been more perfect. Beautiful people, beautiful settings, beautiful weather and on and on. I spent the morning hangin with the boys as they tipped back cocktails, joked around and eventually got ready for the day. A super huge thank you to Brian and the fellas for giving me all access creative freedom...I had a blast. Thanks to Erich Camping for continuing to inspire...fully lit reception...no going back now my man!! ...and to Amanda Padgham for joining us. It was great working with you both!!

Here are some snaps from the day...







What a great day!!

Just got back from a 2-wedding stint in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. If I didn't have the pictures to prove it, I would swear that the whole thing was a dream. Please check back soon as I am working through those events. Special thanks to Natalie at Baja Weddings for all of your help with logistics. You are amazing at what you do. I'll see you soon Natalie...no doubt.

Tomorrow is another airport day. I'm off to Orlando, Fla to join 12 other talented, determined photographers at Garrett & Joy Nudd's Elevate 2 Seminar. Three days of shop talk, business development and hopefully a little shooting as well. Day 4 is a big one. I'm finally hitting up Zack Arias' One-Light Workshop!! I cannot wait to hear what he has to say. I'm so fired up!!!

So I'll cut it off here in the hopes of getting some laundry done. Please remember to subscribe to the blog if you're interested in keeping up with the life and times.

I hope that this finds you all shiny, happy and well air-conditioned.

Best Always,
