Karen + Jay’s Wedding – Awesome time last weekend with Karen, Jay, and all 80+ of their guests in Antigua :). From the engagement session and rehearsal dinner to the wedding and Sunday brunch, it was so much fun working with everyone and making new friends. I think Karen and Jay have spoiled me so much. Now only did they pick a beautiful location for their wedding in Antigua, but these two loved having their photos taken and was never camera shy!

Please enjoy their wedding slideshow by clicking here and be sure to turn up your volume. Thanks again Karen and Jay for inviting me to your amazing wedding week. Destination weddings are wonderful for their beautiful locations, but it’s really getting to know the bride, groom, and all their loved ones in an intimate setting that makes it truly worthwhile. Congrats you two!

Ceremony and reception locations: Capuchinas Ruins in Antigua, Guatemala

Maribel + Javier’s Engagement Session – These two lovebirds have been together for…seventeen years! Most of which was long distance, as Maribel lives and works in Hawaii while Javier is here in So Cal. Random chance or fate would allow us to meet and work together this past week.

What made the session that much more fun was that Maribel and Javier brought their two dogs, Scruffy and Cutie :). Special thanks to Maribel’s man of honor + Javier’s cousin Eric for making all of this possible and helping out on the shoot. Hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek, can’t wait for your big day in Oahu on the 4th of July!

12.31.11. Copacabana Beach. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Reveillon 2012. 5DM2 + 35mm1/.4L + all white attire + non-stop rain + 2million people jammed packed along Avenue Atlantica + nearly 20mins of fireworks + David Guetta performing on the main stage at 2AM + dear client friends from London who had their wedding exactly a year ago in India = craziest New Years Eve celebration ever.

On the eve of their big day in Antigua and along with their bridal party, Karen and Jay took some pre-wedding photos at the Santa Rosa Ruins. It was one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever shot at, and even the best tacos in town at Taco Cancun made a cameo appearance :). Stay tuned for their wedding photos!
