My Recent Travels


I love to travel...love it! Throw me in any random country on or off a resort and I am just in heaven. With my busy season these past two months, I didn't get to go to another country, but I did get to go to Providence, Rhode Island for their WaterFire event. It really is something to see. The entire river that runs through the city is filled with wood-burning structures that are lit by torches after a dramatic presentation. The streets are filled with food vendors, street performers and music all night long! Take a look at some of the shots I took along with some others from my trip. :-)





(fyi...not the safest thing to do while driving over a bridge in the rain) :-)

Nelrique's Tailor

Hi all!

It's been a little while since my last post, but all for good reason! I've been shooting weddings once or twice a weekend for all of September and will continue to do so through all of October. I've been having such a blast photographing with John Heyn, Marissa Levin, Cara MacNeil, Jakki Strickland, Kenny Kim, Tomas Flint and Andres Valenzuela, I don't even know where to begin!

In the "downtime", however, I did have the chance to shoot for an amazing tailor in my area, Nelrique. He is the man when it comes to alterations and custom designed pieces; he does all of my tailoring. Nelrique is in the process of reconstructing his website and he asked that I do the pictures for it. I can't wait to see it when it's finished!

Lately, I've come to realize that I LOVE shooting details, so this was a perfect outlet for me, especially after shooting for Kay Unger New York a month ago. Particularly, this applies to the weddings that I photograph...everything from the brides shoes (ok, maybe especially the shoes) to the table cards at the reception. I just love the tiniest details that I can focus on. :-)

Take a look at some of the amazing work by Nelrique:
