Acapulco baby!

On December 18th of last year I had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Dianne and Mauricio. Dianne and Mauricio live in Indiana and found me through the WPJA. They chose Acapulco as the destination for their wedding. It was my first time on the Pacific side of Mexico and it was just beautiful...though, wow, it sure was hot and humid for December! They were married on a jetty overlooking the beautiful bay in Acapulco and their reception was held in the same location at dusk. Mauricio was originally from Mexico, so many family members of Mauricio's did not have to travel too far for the wedding.

St. Kitts, yeah!

In December I had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Christina and Nkosi in St. Kitts! Christina and Nkosi are from Chicago and found my website listing at the Wedding Photojournalist Association (www.wpja.com). They had faith in my work and hired me without meeting me. Vanessa Escobedo Barba (pictured below perched precariously on a wall as she was shooting during the ceremony) came along as my second shooter. Here are some of my favorite images from that wonderful wedding.

Busy, busy, busy!

I've been so busy these past few weeks! Wedding season is in full effect and I've also been traveling quite a bit. I just returned from a photography convention in Las Vegas (The Digital Wedding Forum) where I attended numerous inspiring seminars which spurred my creativity. I also did a little bit of gambling of course (roulette is my game of choice with a little blackjack thrown in) and we got to eat at some fabulous places when we had time. I attended the conference with local photographer colleagues Diana Lott, Vanessa Escobedo Barba, Stacy Sodolak, and Stacy Pinkney out of Dallas. It was a great time and we all left feeling inspired! Here is a fun shot of all of us from the opening night party (drinks in hand of course)!

I'm headed to Katy, Texas to visit my family for Easter, and then I'll be in Mexico photographing a wedding with Diana Lott from April 19th-23rd. If you need to reach me, feel free to phone 512-947-7864 though I think I won't have phone service in Isla Mujeres (which is a tiny island near Cancun) but I might be able to access email.

I plan to post some images from my December destination weddings in the next few days, so stay tuned (yes I know I am behind at posting pics here!)
