wedding of Jackie & David

Jackie and David were married earlier this year at Smith Cove. We started with some pre-ceremony shots at the Ritz Carlton - Jackie and her sister and her mom were have a great time...if there were any nervous jitters it didn't show! Lot's of laughs though.
The portraits were a lot of fun - kudos to Jackie for being a good sport and climbing into the rowboat! Jackie & David, thanks for having me document your wedding day! Thanks to Rebecca at Parfait Weddings and Events for recommending me!

Sandon Feat

Here's a blog I wrote long ago and for some reason never published...however it's blog house-keeping time!!

In February I was hired to photograph Sandon Feat art gallery in the DaVinci Centre building. The gallery is home to the works of local painter CE Whitney.
My goal was to capture the details of the interior architecture, . From the marble floors to the custom built aluminum furniture and the hanging metal wire ceiling, the space is original in its design. It has a minimalist industrial feel, and the neutral tones allow the paintings to take center stage.
I primarily used two strobes, one with a soft box and one with a reflective umbrella. It was a challenge to light, as I shot very wide angle to capture the entire space, which left very little room to maneuver the strobes. Models Rachel Boraston and Nick Adendorff added a human interaction with the space.

Chrystina & Gregg

Some pics from a wedding earlier this year. Chrystina & Gregg were married on the beach in front of Villas of the Galleon, with a few close friends in attendance.

wedding of Yaneli & Scot

Yaneli and Scot were married in September at the Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman. They had their ceremony on the beach in front of a beautiful sunset. The light was excellent for portraits. The reception followed at the beach until a sudden squall forced the party inside. However the weather didn't slow down the revelry at all! Thanks to Yaneli & Scot for having me photograph your wedding. You guys are a lovely couple!!
