Hello Dear Friends!!!

I'm pretty fired up right now! Just got word from Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine that Jina & Joe's Paradise Island, Bahamas wedding is going to be featured in the "I do" section of the Fall 2008 Issue! A super huge shout-out to my main - KK...Mr. Kenny Kim for dragging me out to paradise and putting up with my complaining all week (kidding ;-)).

It was (and always is) a joy.pleasure.honor to be around you Kenny and I look forward to the road that lies ahead. Thank you dear friend, it's an honor to share this w you. Oh...and for the record, when we are there again this December...you will ride the giant slide through the shark pool (and you will like it).

...and to Jina & Joe: Thank you for inviting us into your lives. Thank you for the love.trust.respect that we share. ...and for giving us the green light to tell the whole world about it. Much happiness for many years.

Here are some photos:

































...and some randoms from around Nassau...

C'est Cibon. Bon Appetit Magazine!!!

Greetings Blog-folk,

If you've been keeping up with visual:ramblings, then you already know that this month is blog marathon month. I've officially re-named it Blog-vember. That's right...Blog-vember is upon us. ...so get fired up!!! I am going blog-rageous all month long and giving away fun prizes to my loyal readers. Kind of like Christmas in Blog-vember! So blog on bloggers...no better time than Blog-vember, right??

I'm especially excited about this posting. Earlier this week, Robin Swan, the owner of one of my favorite cafe/bistros in Rochester, Cafe Cibon, contacted me about getting some photos together for inclusion in their February 2008 Restaurant Spotlight in Bon Appetit Magazine!!! It's so great to see Robin and her restaurant doing so well...they deserve every bit of this publicity. So yesterday I packed up the gear and headed over to Cafe Cibon to meet with Robin and her daughter Ashley to grab a few snaps, share some laughs and chow down on spectacular grub. That's one of the perks of photographing food, you know...you get to eat it when you're done!!!

Here are a few of my favorites from the day. I can't wait to see what shows up in Bon Appetit Magazine!!!

Speaking of magazines, my feature in the "I do, I do" section of the latest issue of Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine is on sale nationwide now through February. You can find it at all major booksellers (Boarders, Barnes & Noble, etc.). That's worth getting fired up about isn't it?? I'd like to once again thank Erich Camping for his support on the project...you da man e!!!

That's all for now...check back all blog-vember long for updates, events, games and all-around good times!!! And leave some feedback...i've got prizes burning a hole in my pocket!

All the Best,

Destination: Asheville

Hey Hey!!

October is quickly coming to an end and thus concluding one heck of a two-month stint. Last stop before some much needed down-time...Asheville, North Carolina for my good buddy Corey McNabb's Rockstar Wedding Photography Workshop. My flight out here left super early Sunday morning which was bittersweet in that I had to get out of bed early (bitter) but I got to see the sunrise from 30,000 ft. (sweet) and arrived in Asheville early in the afternoon, which gave us time to go exploring (sweet). Corey, myself and my new photog buddies Amber Holritz and Zac Thomas loaded up in Corey's budget automobile and took a cruise along the majestic Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a beautiful afternoon spent with beautiful people. I'm really excited for this experience. Here are some pics from that morning and afternoon. The first two were captured using my state of the art cell phone camera:this one i call slanted sunrise #4...






what are they shooting at???

Tara Jordan put on a killer opening party at Corey's Studio. Her attention to detail was impeccable. She even brought in a rock n roll "rockstar" ice sculpture for a centerpiece...it was rad!!!

Looks like Parker Pfister is ready to get into the vino! This could spell trouble.

Time for fun with ice. Here's Sophia Jekic giving me the googley eye.


I told you that this could spell trouble! What is up with this??
This last one is worth sharing. It's from this afternoon's modeling session at the Asheville Botanical Gardens. I decided to go with the ol' lensbaby to shake things up a bit. A big thank you to Jon Leidel and the lovely Anna for giving us so much of yourselves during this shoot.
That's all for now. I hope that this finds you all well.

All the Best,

Local BuZZZZZZzZzz...

Hey y'all!!!

Here's some exciting news!!!

If you live in Western NY than you are probably familiar with The Rochester Insider. They recently ran a feature on me that is running in this week's edition. You can check it out in print or in their online edition. Here's a screen shot of the front page of their website. I'll set it up as a hyperlink so that you can click on it to be re-directed. This is kinda cool as it is running on the heels of the release my feature in the nationally distributed Destination Weddings & Honeymoons 2007-2008 winter edition.



No rest for the wicked, though. This weekend is gonna rock!!! I'm partnering up with my good buddy Erich Camping to shoot a wedding in Cape Cod, Mass. So pumped to work with Erich again...it's been too long.

Have to get packing.

All the Best,
