Free to Succeed!!!! THE TOUR COMING TO NYC!

I know there's some of you that have asked me several questions about starting in wedding photography in person, on facebook and e-mail. Questions from workflow, to lens choices, editing, pricing, etc. So many questions and I have been so excited about sharing the little I feel I have gathered and learned myself in the last 3 years of doing this. 

So I have to let you all know about this workshop that is coming to our area (and other areas-check the website). It's by one of my biggest inspirations and amazing guy and photographer David Jay and his crew. I got to hang out with them and attend his first Freedom and Slumber workshop in February of this year and the guys is legit, caring, giving and loves to share all he knows. 

I encourage you to sign up and go to this workshop! I will be going to the NYC one so if you are in the area and want to carpool let me know and we'll head on over! 

Everybody needs a facelift.....

I've always felt that branding is a key part of any successful business/project and in recent months I felt like my old logo needed a bit of a facelift. I have to give crazy mad props to my friend and initial designer of my original logo, Anthony Strickland. He is a sick designer whom I worked with at the ol' Nyack yearbook for 4 years. 

So as I was traveling and meeting lots of cool people in the photo industry I ran across a really cool guy named Marlon who happened to be a graphic designer and he gave my logo the redesign it needed. I loved what he did with it and am so happy to start rolling it out this year in slideshows, my new website (also rolling out later this year) and other areas of my business. 

Marlon and I went back and forth several times and through several different edits. He was so patient and gave me the necessary perspective I needed to realize the direction the logo needed to go to have the impact I wanted. I'm so happy with the final result! If you are looking for a great patient and talented graphic designer (who also designs websites and personalized blogs!) check him out! 

Thanks so much Marlon! You're the best! 

Josh Way - Chronicle Comic Rocks!!!

I've had the privilege of knowing Josh for several years now. I went to college with him and later he helped me design my first photo website.  He is super nice at web design, he does the Nyack College web designs. 

His true passion though is writing comics and he decided to go after his dream almost a year ago. He started his own comic and has been writing and drawing since then.

To say he is talented is a big understatement. The dude Rocks! As soon as I heard that he was publishing his first comic book I was one of the first in line to buy one. 

His writing is hilarious and witty and his drawings are amazing! 

Josh, I'm so proud of you for doing this. It's so awesome to see people go after their dreams!  Keep up to good work and I can't wait for the second book to come out! 

You guys should check out his strip and subscribe to it. You get a daily comic strip sent to your e-mail and if you want to get the sweet book below you can buy it here. He is headed to Comic-con later this month, which is a HUGE comic convention in San Diego to get his strip out there. 

Good luck dude!!!!

This is the first time you get to see the characters in full color! so cool! 


If you buy the artist's edition you get a personalized drawing in the inside cover! Very cool! You gota get one of these!

VAMOS ECUADOR!!!!!

Joy & Joe 6.14.08

Man I love my job!

I got to shoot Joy and Joe's wedding this past weekend and loved every minute of the day! I admitted to Joy after the wedding that I have wanted to shoot a wedding in the rain, I think it would be so much fun! So this past weekend I kind of got my wish when it started raining towards the middle of the photo session of the two of them. I got a few sweet pictures of them under an umbrella which I thought were so cool!  Joy looked amazing and all throughout the ceremony you could feel love! amazing! 

Check out the slideshow! Loved, loved your wedding guys, thank you for letting me capture it! :) 

Jacqueline & Steve - 6.6.08

It's so great when I get to witness a good friend get married. I was so honored to be able to travel to Florida and witness and document Steve and Jacqueline's wedding this past weekend. The days leading up to the wedding were so hot and humid and God smiled on us that day and gave us a nice cool day (by florida standards).  :) Here's the slideshow from the wedding. You can just tell how happy they were that day. Jacqueline has such an infectious smile! 

Congratulations guys and thanks so much for inviting me to capture your day!
