Eduardo & Emilie

Eduardo & Emilie were married in Demember 2010 in Winnipeg, but decided a few portraits here in Cayman would be a nice addition to their wedding photos, since part of their wedding celebrations took place at the Caribbean Club recently with friends who couldn't make it to Canada. I've known Eddie and Emilie for a long time, probably since before they knew each other! Emily is an exceptional artist and Eduardo is Cayman's premier tennis pro and owns and operates Torres Top Tennis. If anyone could make a tennis player out of me, it'd be him (although tennis is still behind kite boarding on my list of sports to get into.) He also a pretty accomplished surfer and has patiently taught me a few things out in the water as well. Thanks Eduardo & Emilie for asking me to take these pics!!!

photobooths - a fun way to entertain your wedding guests

A common challenge for wedding couples is coming up with ways to entertain and involve guests at the reception. 
A photobooth can be an easy solution. With my photobooth setup, guests operate a camera remotely so they can shoot on their own time at the reception. Add a few props such as party hats and feather boas, and guests start to loosen up and enjoy themselves more quickly than what's achieved with an open bar!
Here are some pics from a recent photobooth...
