Ana.

I am trying to get all of my editing done in order to enjoy a little bit of the festivities in town. Add to that my project for the Colectivo and I have pretty much been stuck at my desk for the past week. This is an outtake of the project that Luz and I are presenting on the 27th and 28th in the Plaza del Sol in San Pancho.

Jessica+Brian

Jessica and Brian are exactly the type of couple who should be getting married in Mexico. Adventurous travelers they have a love of all things foreign and it was such a pleasure to be a part of their wedding in Zihuatanejo, Guerrero. They had their welcome dinner at La Perla restaurant on Playa Ropa and the wedding was held at the gorgeous Hotel Tentaciones a boutique hotel overlooking Playa Madera. Add to that a Nicole Miller dress and Badgley Mishka shoes and I was a very happy photographer.

Akike has been living in Zihua for more than ten years and besides being an amazing musician he is starting a school of music for the local children. He already gives daily classes and it’s amazing to see how far these kids have come. He focuses on classical and jazz which aren’t as common to find down here so it’s extra special.

Another local musician, Juanito, stopped by to play a bit even though he was only supposed to play the wedding the next day. It was a great surprise and everybody loved it… especially Jessica and her sister!

The views at Hotel Tentaciones are absolutely incredible and combined with their gorgeous architecture it was by far on of the most beautiful hotels in the area.

Mmm… Nicole Miller and Badgley Mischka…

Apparently being an ex-Marine means laying everything out perfectly even for your wedding. Oh and as Jessica let me know, he always makes the bed!

After the wedding we hopped in a taxi to town and got some last minute shots in while trying to hold on to the last bits of sunlight.

Everyone on the dock was super cute and congratulatory to the newly weds chanting “Beso! Beso!” (Kiss) Brian and Jessica happily obliged.

Sara

I took some photos for my friend Sara the other day to promote her fire dancing. She is amazing. I was trying a new technique where I used a gelled flash to get more of her face lit up. Shooting fire dancers is a little on the difficult side since they are always moving and the light source is constantly changing so often the dancers faces aren’t as exposed as the fire. If you use straight flash you lose the effect of the fire so that’s where the gel came into play. I’m pretty pleased with the way they came out.

RK Mitchell - WOW! The gel technique worked great!
What fantastic shots!

Great explanation on why a different technique was necessary.

If you have an opportunity…you gotta be overwhelmed with editing work…a description of the gel flash technique would be great!
