Bethany and Doug.

Oh how great it is to do something different during an engagement photo session! Bethany, Doug and I spent a few hours (quite a few actually) frolicking around the Gwinnett County Fair last friday. Bethany is the roller coster riding, swinging, spiraling - anything moving in an intense circular motion woman, and Doug is like me....absolutely NOT! This avantgarde couple will certainly inspire us to go with feathers, for our wedding accessories! I can't wait to shoot the wedding and all your fabulous details Bethany!

I'm Back!

Ok, I wasn't vacationing this long....but do apologize for the delay in posting. Needless to say the Jamaica trip was fabulous as expected!!! Negril, Jamaica. Days filled with Sailing, snorkeling, kayaking and R&R.... everyday! A trip to Mayfield River and falls was incredible. Here are a few pics! The silhouette shot is my son jumping off a 10 ft cliff at the infamous Rick's Cafe on the West Coast.






















Me chilling out on the hammock! I'd like this to be my back yard!














My boys! about to be sucked down the river by the rapids! wish i had video!! Where's David Dixon when I need him!!














Me and my son snorkeling!

Jamaica!

We're off....heading to Jamaica later today! To the beach for some much needed family time and R & R! We'll be in Negril - west coast of Jamaica, on the beautiful 7 mile beach. Therefore, I'll be out of commission for the next 10 days, however I will have an assistant checking and responding to emails during. I am not sure yet if I'll post photos while I'm there, if not definitely when I return. I may post a few text only entries for your pleasure reading! Until the 13...Happy Holiday today!

A true engagement! Proposal on film.

Ok...before I head off to Jamaica with the family for some much needed R&R, I had to post a few of these photos! Ashish and Leya: great friends with our planner extraordinaire, connected at the beach for a rendezvous before heading off to dinner.

As in the past, Leya thought that as I was in town, we'd get together for a quick photoshoot. They arrived at the beach and as usual, I always begin by asking my couples to have a quick stroll along the water's edge...to loosen things up a bit! shooting a bit here....shooting a bit there..... Ashish spontaneously presents Leya with a very SILK....bouquet of flowers......which she promptly snatches and plays along using it as a prop, she knows me by now I think....props are always fun!

Completely out of the blue, Ashish drops to his knee and pops the question! RIGHT THERE! ....oh my how exciting! She says yes.....AND it's all on film! Now that's an engagement photo shoot. My first ever! Usually I get to shoot my couples after the actual proposal.....how many photographers get to photograph the proposal in action! It was so romantic. My eyes teared a bit but had to stay focused on the moment and creating the shots.... It's one of my favorite things about weddings, acts of spontaneous romance, laughter, tears..... it reminds us to live our lives and seek the passions that we love! It's like the first dance at a wedding, after 9 years of shooting weddings, I still get goose bumps when I hear Frank or Etta James during the first dance. So here are a few images of this passionate couple....Congratulations Ashish and Leya - Until next time....and of course the wedding!!
