Jessica and James were married on the coast of North Carolina. I love setting up silhouette shots when the conditions are perfect.
Haley-Kate and Rafael's engagement session began at the Georgia Aquarium where this soccer player had proposed to his Atlanta Falcon cheerleader girlfriend. It wasn't long before the clouds began rolling in and just as they were finishing volleying his soccer ball back and forth, the thunder made its presence known. Nothing could stop these two from enjoying every last minute of their afternoon together though and this steamy shot was the result!
I have been a Documentary photographer for many years. I have been very reluctant to include Wedding photography in my portfolio of services. Three weeks ago I got a phone call from a customer asking me to cover her wedding. My first answer was that I don't work on weddings and moreover I told her that I don't have experience on this kind of event. She was really sweet and kind by the phone and invite me to think about it because she really like my Documentary style. After a couple of days she visit me and I decided to cover her wedding. This was my first wedding and I definitely enjoyed. I am so honored that one of my pictures done on my first wedding has been selected. Thanks to this sweet girl I found on wedding photography the opportunity to include it in my offering.
Stella + Ryan are sweet as can be. Set to be married February in China, they traveled to Hawaii for their bridal portraits, as custom is to have them done beforehand. They contacted me because they didn't want traditional portraits, they wanted adventure. So, we hiked down into the coastal sea cliffs of Oahu's east coast, where, in full wedding attire, they climbed to the top of this plateau and kissed amongst the crashing waves while I captured these aerial images from above. <3

Amanda and Eric wanted a low-stress wedding, so they headed to the Dominican Republic for their destination wedding in the caribbean. After enjoying a beautiful beach ceremony, cocktail hour and fun reception at the Excellence Punta Cana, the couple enjoyed their honeymoon suite with champagne by the jacuzzi tub! The grand finale to this wonderful weekend wedding was the sunrise on their first morning as husband and wife where this breathtaking scene was captured!
Late night into the reception, the balcony on the second floor of the hall provided the opportunity for this shot. While this shot was being taken, the guests were dancing on the first floor, however by bringing down the ambient and using the lights in the ceiling as the symmetric elements, it provided for a 'quiet' moment shot of the couple of our wonderful couple, Kaitlyn and Habib.
This was a moment to remember! This was during the candle ceremony (Palestinian wedding tradition) at Kaitlyn and Habib's wedding. In order to capture this shot, I had to run up to the second floor balcony while trusting that Veronica will be able to capture the shots while I was moving up to the second floor. This shot was only possible for the trust and the teamwork we have formed over the years.
As for Kaitlyn and Habib, I am so happy that this shot was captured for them to be cherished forever!
