Down by the Sea...

Hola!!!

For those of you who haven't been there yet...and i stress the word YET, Cabo San Lucas is a small city at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, in the municipality of Los Cabos in the state of Baja California Sur, Mexico. It's population is on a sharp uprise but is currently roughly 60,000 people. To the east lies the Sea of Cortez (or the Gulf of California) and to the west is the mighty Pacific Ocean. At this point you may be wondering..."um...ok...and???". Truth is that I have no idea why I wanted to give that little geography lesson, but if it got you thinking about taking a vacation out to this tropical paradise, that's good enough for me!!! If and when you decide to go, be sure to give me a holler, as I will gladly stuff myself and some camera gear into your suitcase to accompany you!!!

Lesley and Silvio decided that there was no better place to tie the knot. Surrounded by a small group of friends on the 'straight-out-of-a-fairytale' setting of Pedregal Beach in Los Cabos, they exchanged vows, shed tears, laughed heartily and created one of the more memorable wedding celebrations that this photographer has ever had the privilege to witness.

A million thanks to you guys for this experience. I will never forget it!!! Here are some snaps...















Live well y'all...you deserve nothing less!!!

All the Best,

Lori & Erik Part Deux...The Ceremony.

Hey Blog World!!!

Here's the second of three installments from Lori and Erik's Wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico last month. This is the ceremony portion. Short and sweet...what a beautiful experience to re-live!! Thanks again, and a million times over, to all of you guys for making Erich and I feel so welcome and encouraged. Shoot me over an email, fire off a msg, or leave a comment if you want to view the entire event on my proofing page. I'll get right back to you with directions on how to do so. I think that it's worth a view (...but then again, I may be biased!!!).

Cabo, part deux...













Alrighty then...

As for other happenings in the life and times...

Just had a killer wedding in the Adirondack's this past weekend. As my good buddy Mike Lindacher says..."life is just better in the adirondacks". Mountain air, sunsets, tipping back a few cans of Utica Club at The Tap Room in Raquette Lake. Good times. Good times. I'll be writing about it in more detail soon.

After much frustration, I finally sucked it up and invested in new studio equipment. New computers, monitors...you name it. I even got one of those fancy wacom tablet writing thingies. It still feels strange, but I've heard that once you get used to it, you can never go without. Anyway, what was taking me weeks before is taking minutes now. Ok...I'm exagerating. But I do feel like I've entered a new dimension. Warp speed. Sky's the limit...I'm all sorts of fired up!!! I forgot how much I used to like tooling away on computers. Big ups to Pdoe for his hand in all of this...you are the most talented computer geek in the Universe.

Alright y'all...back to work.

Happy 4th everybody!!!

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.
