Son's First Day at School

He is growing up and it is going to fast.

We took Zach to his first day of school, well open house anyway, and he was awesome. As you can imagine all kids react differently in these situations. Some clung to mom and dad, some were comfortable to play as long as mom and dad were near and others just ran all over the place and played with all the kids. Zach was a bit of the last two, warming up more and more as time passed.

It was an experience that I will never forget... and of course we have pictures. Here are just a few.

The Things I Get to See...

Love is grand and love on a wedding day is even sweeter. There is nothing better in this world than being a wedding photographer. I get to see sides of people few seldom do. I get to experience emotions not experienced by love ones ever before. It makes all the hard work totally worth it when I see these special moments unfold before me...

Ring Shots

001_20090808

I love ring shots. In fact, I just purchased a lens that is specifically for these shots. I love the results above, not to mention it was a great setting to shoot. I always do these shots during a wedding. They are normally done when dinner is served and the couple is eating (yah, right!) or making the rounds at the tables. Most of the couples are ready as soon as I come up to them. They know what I would like to do and start taking off their rings before I even ask. Funny, though... sometimes they dont come off too easy, especially during a lovely Florida summer wedding.

Jennifer and Jason - Downtown Orlando eShoot

ou know when you start an engagement shoot off at a bar, drinking, things are going to be fun. Well, Jennifer and Jason are certainly at the top of the list of the fun couples I get to shoot. Despite some ominous skies, we had a great time. We started at Latitudes, where they met, with the friends that actually introduced the two of them. It was great listening to the story told by everyone of that day. We ended the day down by the rail road tracks some four blocks north!

It turns out that their wedding will mirror a similar timeline and locations that my wedding did some 5 years ago. They are even getting married by the same Priest. As Jennifer put it, "It will be a walk down memory lane". I agree... and I cant wait to shoot your big day this Saturday!!
