I had the honor of photographing Maria Isabel and Marcos’ Wedding in New York this past November. The wedding was beautiful and the party afterwards was awesome! Mari and Marcos were very happy on their day and I think it really shows through the photographs. I have to thank my cousin Brenda for helping me photograph this event. She did a great job! This was my first time working as the main shooter at a wedding and it was a very rewarding experience. I learned a great deal about being prepared and anticipating the next photo and it felt great to be able to capture these moments for the bride and groom

It was tough to choose my favorites, but I forced myself to select a few.

I had the opportunity to shoot the following portraits for my good friends Mario and Kat. They are great people with a lot of energy and ambition so getting them to pose and do all sorts of fun stuff during this shoot was no challenge. The real challenge here was the weather. We had to postpone the shoot a few times due to rain and scheduling conflicts, but on this day we decided that we were going to go out and get some photos rain or shine! Thankfully we had mostly sunshine and beautiful weather

I’m always a little apprehensive when someone asks me to shoot some portraits because my shooting style is a little unique. I like to play with all sorts of angels and rely purely on natural light. I really like the way these photographs turned out and I know my clients were happy with the results as well which makes me even happier!

I had the opportunity to work along side Lolypix Photography to photograph this beautiful wedding. Sonia and Alfredo were married on Miami Beach on a beautiful late afternoon on Cinco de Mayo and the day was perfect. I always worry a bit when the wedding ceremony is outdoors because the weather is unpredictable, but I actually really enjoy it as well. The shooting conditions are challenging and fun! Working as a second shooter for this wedding allowed me to get angles that I would usually not be able to capture because I have to be at certain positions to capture the ” the key shots ” and this also allowed me to explore a few different creative possibilities in terms of composition.

In any case, the wedding was amazing and everything was extremely well organized by Joan Love Events. Sonia and Alfredo were very happy on their special day and everyone was looking great! Working as a mother and son team for this wedding was a very rewarding experience for me and I really felt like we had complete coverage of everything from beginning to end. Congratulations Sonia and Alfredo!

A few weeks ago the Hispanic Law Students Association held a small event to honor Hector Lombana with an award for his dedication and efforts helping the FIU Law community. The event was held in at the beautiful Mandarin Oriental Hotel which provided a wonderful backdrop for the photos. I was able to speak with several interesting individuals while photographing and I was also able to grab some pretty nice scenic shots of the hotel and the Magic City skyline across the bay. Congratulations Hector!

Paola recently celebrated her first communion and I was contacted by her mother to photograph the party at their beautiful home. The day was beautiful thanks to the wonderful Miami weather. Sun was shining and everyone was in great spirits which usually combine for some excellent photographs. And it is always easy to get some great photographs when everyone is having a good time. You can probably tell from the photos below that everyone was very happy for Paola on her special day and Paola had a wonderful time with her friends and family. Congratulations Paola!
