Even deeper for non-Saturday events. If you like my photography, but think I may be financially out of reach, then just email me and we WILL work it out. If you have all ready contacted me and havent gone to contract yet (and I havent all ready sent you a new price quote) then shoot me an email. Not to sound like Howie Mandell, but Let's Make a Deal.

Robert and Michelle's Wedding

Back on the first of March I shot the wedding of the now Robert and Michelle Rivera. Michelle and Robert got married at the always gorgeous St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Winter Park. We then moved down to the Florida Mall Hotel and Convention Center.

Everything was set up perfectly and running just on time due to the hard work of Shannon Stinson at A Belle Soiree Weddings & Events. I have to say the room was absolutely beautiful. I have always thought that its the little things that make a huge difference and on that night there were a lot of little things that were just perfect.

I had an amazing time at Robert and Michelle's wedding and I cannot wait to sit down and share these and the rest of their photographs with them. Thanks you two for letting me be your wedding photographer!!

Here are some of my favorites from the night.....

Bay Hill Engagement Shoot

This last weekend I met Kelly and Aaron at Bay Hill Country Club to shoot their engagement photos. Turns out they have some connections at the club and we were able to take a couple golf carts out on the front nine and do what ever we wanted. Bay Hill is preparing for the PGA tournament on March 10-16 and doesn't take tee times after 2pm, so we had the whole front nine to ourselves!

I had a blast and what started out to be a dreary, gloomy day ended with perfect blue skies and a great sunset.

Thanks Kelly and Aaron and I cant wait for the day you two tie the knot!!

Enjoy...

Jason & Dilenia Rienhart Wedding

I think last weekend I spent about 3, maybe 4 waking hours at the house. Between Jason and Dilenia's wedding on Saturday and an all day excursion to the Magic Kingdom on Sunday with the family, it was pretty busy. The funny thing is that it was probably one of the best weekends that I have had in a long time.

I love being a wedding photographer and Saturday I must of had goose bumps three or four times during the ceremony and reception. I keep saying to myself, "God, I love this job....". They had an outdoor ceremony, beautiful sunset, Salsa band and I think every single guest was family. Very cool. Of course, Sunday was a blast. It wasn't my 16 month old sons first trip to Disney, but certainly his first that he knew that he was somewhere magical. I took some shots of our trip that I will probably post tomorrow, but first things first.... I present to you some of my favorite shots from Jason and Dilenia's amazing wedding...

A Real Website Is Coming....

Above and below this post are the business cards I created, so I now have them when someone asks me for one.

On another front....last night, I commissioned bludomain.com to build me a website. They said they would have the site completed by Saturday at midnight. They just build the template/frame and I change the color, fonts, upload the photos so it will take me a couple weeks to probably tweak just right. So, stay tuned for a much more professional front end to what has been an amazing ride so far....

Wedding in Lawrenceville, GA

So awhile ago, my wife's best friend found out she was having a baby (Yeah, Rhonda and Scott). Turns out that Rhonda is a wedding photographer just outside of Atlanta and had booked a wedding in September. Well, being a wedding photographer and 6 months pregnant is not an easy thing to do. So, she had seen some of my work and asked if I would help her out. No problem, my wife said. Well, I said it too.... but she was just as excited to be able to make it up to see her friend... and her "belly"!!

Of course, we have a 10.5 month old and were a little nervous about how we were going to make the trip. We choose driving (the obvious choice) and decided to pack up the car at 3am and start the 7 hour trip. Well, we didnt leave until 4am (it is so hard to get out of bed sometimes!!) and Zach only slept for 3 hours. However, I was so proud of him, he just sat in that seat and checked out the scenery and watched his DVDs. No complaints.... The ride home we left at 9pm and he slept off and on all the way home. He did wake up to the flashing red and blue lights when I got pulled over for speeding... but thats another story.

Oh, I almost forgot. Zach started walking (assisted) when we got up there! You got to admit... he is so darn cute (just ignore my foot in the bottom left corner).



All in all, we had a great visit and I got to work with yet another amazing photographer. Here are some of my favorite wedding shots from the evening...
