If you have chatted with me about this wedding already, you know that this wedding was eventful by epic proportions. Monsoons, the Federalis, and Celebrities from 24 were a few highlights of the weekend.  I met Dan and Viv through my good friend and super client, Robyn, whose wedding i shot a few years back. When i met Dan and Viv at the Buena Vista Bar in San Francisco for our initial consult, I was stoked on how super fun they were. We talked about how amazing this wedding was going to be in Playa Del Carmen, at a beautiful 5 star resort followed by a Trash the Dress shoot with her the day after the wedding. Crystal Blue Ocean? White Sand Beaches? Mayan Ruins? She didn't really have to talk me into it.  The day of the wedding was beautiful. Clear skies, 80 degrees...until the monsoon storm clouds rolled in literally 10 minutes before the ceremony. The craziest storm I have ever seen with buckets of rain and lighting and thunder every 3 seconds, soaked the beach and hotel. After a lot of discussion between the staff on moving the ceremony site to a tiny, dark, stuffy ballroom...with my coercion, we scrapped that idea and kept it on the water. The rain let up 30 minutes later only to usher in a gorgeous backdrop to a killer ceremony! Then there was the next day...lets just say, with the caution of being monitored by the Mexican Federal Government, we were detained and searched for illegally shooting at the Mayan Ruins...ask me about it someday. After some champagne and a few beers, we got our nerves back, and shot on this beautiful beach, only to have more beers with Morris and Kayla from the show "24", who happened to be honeymooning... Three awesome things came from this weekend. Great stories. Amazing photos. and a Beautiful Marriage. Congrats you two!

Ok, I have looked forward to posting these pics since the day I booked the wedding. I am pretty excited to showcase my fist European Wedding. Ray and Andrea were married in a small town, Oliva about an hour south of Valencia, which is about 4 hours south of Barcelona. Before i describe how insanely fun and lavish the wedding was, I must comment on how gorgeous Andrea looked. Yes, all brides are beautiful and glow, but for me, walking around the small streets of Spain, while soaking in the culture made her look absolutely stunning. The wedding started at 6, and I kid you not, ended near 5 am. They know how to party in Spain. After the 2 hour cocktail-hour, and 5 course meal, I think we STARTED dancing close to midnight. The food was amazing, the wine was superb, and the people incredibly friendly and accommodating. Thanks you two for expanding my business to Europe and congratulations!!!

When Blaire asked me to shoot her wedding in Mammoth a few months ago, I jumped at the opportunity. Not only because they are a super cute couple who seem really fun and down to earth, but because I go to get some time on the mountain! Blaire and Chip had an intimate wedding at a lodge in Mammoth with about 50 people, and then a classy dinner reception at a beautiful mountain restaurant in the downtown area. Blaire was stunning with her million dollar smile, and Chip looked like Cary Grant in his three piece suit and coife. It was cold that day. Really cold, but Blaire was a trooper with JUST her dress on, as I had my suit and my overcoat and was still freezing my butt off. It was a beautiful day, and the photos were awesome! The day after the wedding, myself and the wedding party all hit the slopes. Perfect conditions, great people, good weather - It was a great wedding weekend.
