Rameena phoned me last week to take pictures of her and her husband Pawan of two years. They live in Vancouver and she was surprising him with an anniversary trip to LA and wanted some fun sexy pictures. We met at the Getty where it was pretty overcast. So much so that you couldn’t see the city views! But I didn’t let the June gloom discourage me. When it’s cloudy I just like to warm it up! I had a hot couple with great chemistry and that’s all I needed! We walked around for an hour then headed back to their hotel at the Luxe on Sunset. A few more pictures there and I knew I had captured something special for them. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks guys and I hope to be visiting Vancouver soon.

So I got an email from Amy mere weeks after her gorgeous wedding at the Azul Sensatori in Puerto Morelos asking me if I’d like to photograph her Vegas wedding! Why? Because one wedding is never enough! I kept reading and saw that she was staying in the luxurious Skyloft Suites at the MGM and that Elvis would be the officiant at the infamous Graceland chapel and that was all it took! So with a little less conversation and a little more action I found myself driving to Vegas Baby!
I checked into to my nice suite at the newer smoke-free Signature tower at the MGM and then headed over to Amy’s amazing Skyloft Suite. So after some fun getting ready pictures, we headed downstairs to wait for the 30 passenger party-limo-bus that had been ordered. Only problem was it wasn’t there. So after about 45 minutes, it shows up and the driver was nervously trying to figure out how to operate the controls of the bus while driving and talking on her cell. Just as we approach the highway, the limo shuts down and we find ourselves stranded on the side of the highway. Amy rolled with the situation better than any bride could have. Sure there was disappointment, but her friends are way to fun to let it ruin her night. So party on the side of the road until Caffeinated Dan showed up with the relief party bus.
We arrived at Graceland Chapel and I was bummed that I wasn’t allowed to take any photos during the service. But it was really cool to just hang and be a guest and experience Elvis serenading Amy as he walked her down the aisle. It was over before we knew it and back on the bus headed to the MGM party suite. A good time had by all.

Denise and Fred had their destination wedding at Turtle Beach in Sarasota Florida. A beautiful white sand beach and popular vacation spot. It was one of the hottest days I’ve ever experienced shooting. I think my black camera body seared my lip like a piece of Ahi Tuna at one point, but hey anything for these guys!
I first met Denise on the set of a David la Chappelle photoshoot in the Bahamas and he just so happened to be a guest at her wedding. And it was nice for me to see him again after all these years. I used to work with David and her brother Fred for several years and I attribute that time as my greatest learning experience. So I was honored to get the call to photograph Denise’s wedding.
Denise looked gorgeous and despite the sweltering heat, we made the best of it and got some really fun photos that day. They held their reception at Ophelias on the bay and it was a beautiful backdrop for their reception. The next day we hit Siesta Key Beach for their Trash the Dress photoshoot for their world famous white sand and aqua blue water..and dragonflies! It was crazy. Hundreds of dragonflies seemed to come out of nowhere as soon as we started taking pictures. Very surreal. We gave a show to the tourists who couldn’t believe Densie would run into the ocean in her dress. Some were shocked while others cheered us on. It was awesome and I always love TTD photoshoots. It was a fast trip and I look forward to going back to explore the area and enjoy the beach a little more next time.
