The Rachel Zoe Project - Premiere Party

2008-09-05T04:12:00.005-04:00

Today i shot The Rachel Zoe Project - Premiere Party held at the Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC.
It was a pretty cool party. A lot of celebs. Funny thing is ran into my friend Gail Simmons from TOP CHEFF. I've worked with Gail and the FOOD&WINE team a couple of times, and it was great to see her again! :)

I had to get a photo! I didn't get a good one in Aspen.

Thank you Amanda for the photo.

Another hilarious thing is that while i was trying to get out of the other photographers way i happen to still get on his photo. LOL!!! I can now say i got a photo with Rachel Zoe and Kate Hudson! LOL He snapped a few, so my guess is that was the best one because it came from wireimage.

Wedding in Wayne New Jersey - Geri & Chris WEDDING!

2008-08-27T22:38:00.004-04:00

Finally i get to post the wedding a few of you have been asking me for! :)

Geri & Chris i want to say thank you again for picking me to be YOUR wedding photographer. :P
I must just imaging how hard it could be to choose a photographer out of sooo many amazing ones out there. I mean there are hundreds and thousands of amazing photographers out there. Thank you again!

The reason why i'm bragging so much about this is that Geri IS A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER herself. She is my first client that is a photographer and not the only one for this year. :) As an artist i can imaging how difficult that is and that's why i'm so grateful that she chose me. YOU MUST CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT GERI's SITE!!!

Let's begin with the photos:

Geri's mom. She cried at her getting ready. I love this shot!

I wish i could hear what he said to her.

2008-03-04T14:40:00.006-05:00

It had been 13 years since i last visited Guatemala, and from what i remember a lot has changed. Most beautiful places i missed that time. Well, i was still young and probably couldn't climb volcanos even if i wanted to :P. I must say this trip was well worth it. I got to visit family, friends and traveled to a lot of places. I randomly went thru some images and these jumped up at me. Feels like a wedding (going thru 3k images isn't fun).

Antigua Guatemala. Famous Arch.

View down of Volcano. About to head down to lava! (Volcan de Pacaya)

Great shot of my cousin on volcanic rock.

me, next to some LAVA!!

Couldn't do it without my SHOOTSAC

It tired me...time to rest...

Volcanic rock is VERY SHARP! It wrecked my sneakers! hahahah...

On the way back to safe land i saw this cool view...

More comming soon!

check out this awesome lava shot i got!!!

Be back soon!

HA! To begin i would like to say that there's no famous players or celebrities that i know of in these images. I got to the parade way too late, thinking i would at-least get some decent shots. I do however love capturing fans, and their interest in these celebrations. ;)

The parade didn't even pass thru here, so just imagine...

Fans climbing the sanitation truck!! LOL

And the scaffolds

Helicopter??

$20 dollars for one of these flags! Could you believe it?

Last month was the PhotoExpo in NYC, and our friend Becker from OC, Cali..was in town. Since it was his birthday, he decided to invite anyone who wanted to join him for a photo field trip and lunch...well, it was kind of like a brunch to me ;). I thought it was a cool idea, so i headed to meet other photographers and make new friends!

Here are some pics of that i got from the field trip:

This is a view of the Brooklyn bridge from DUMBO:

And a view of the Manhattan bridge from DUMBO:

Marisa taking a shot of me for some Shootsac promos:

Then we headed to Coney Island and I got this photo that I really like! I think this was my favorite of the day:

My new friend, photographer Meg Belanger got this shot of me:

Thanks Meg!

Meet Alex. Last week, he asked if i could do some cool portraits for his portfolio. He's a really cool guy. We had a good time. Funny thing is we found a cool spot in the middle of the Julliard school. Which was a surprise to me, because that part of the city decent and to find an empty staircase...hmm. Obviously it looked like that, if it's directed to the subway. lol :)

2007-04-20T16:18:00.000-04:00

Here are some more of Egan & Shyla of our photo shoot. I love catching other photographers shooting. I always wonder what position the photographer is in. Many of us do crazy things like lay on the ground, hang off a light post, climb a fence, or on top of a car, etc.

check out Shyla doing her thing:

Egan doing his thing:

Egan looking like a thug!!! LOL

I decided to change my blog. I got a lot of feedback about how dark it was. So i decided to stay with clean white for now, and my nice pastel green ;) Let me know if you like it!

Thanks! ;)

Here's a recent portrait. I really like this one. It shows a lot of attitude.

Lately, and always, i've been inspired by many photographers. But i have to give credit to Becker and Jessica Claire for taking those cool trips and showing us those awesome creative details, landscapes, and old town photos. Now, there's always a first time for everything. So i headed north and got some of my own. I must say it was fun. And it was COLD! Like 15 below at some point!

(check out some of Becker's and Jessica Claire's)

Here are some of mine; tell me if you like them :)

I had the great opportunity to shoot beautiful Celeste. She is the most adorable thing. I think shooting a baby is one of the most wonderful things ever. Although sometimes it can be difficult to do, I find it worth the time!

Check her out:

I have to say that at this time of december, out door shots should be like impossible, depending on what the bridal party is wearing. But the weather in NY has ben crazy lately. So i can say this couple was blessed ;)

Dance...anyone?

Grooms prayer:

Wiping tears:

The baby vomits..LOL

Friday was the Guy Carpenter Christmas party...my "day job" ;) As always, i have a lot of fun shooting people partying & dancing...basically, having a good time. I will admit, I felt like I was shooting a wedding reception, although no bride and groom. Food was great, as any other wedding that i've been to. I hope that's always the case. :)And it was fun hanging out with co-workers and friends.

The party was located in 1 Madison Ave. Check out the cool view:

Mmmmmm...beef, pork & turkey..ahhhh

yuk...i tried, but i just can't..

David Spiller, President and CEO with a few words:

Wilma getting me a drink...heh ;)

Everybody just having a good time:

I had the opportunity to shoot a wonderful couple, Rosie & Frank. I've know them for a long time, and remember when they got together. (Hey Frank, remember that ride on the subway?) lol. Anyway, i wish you guys the best of all!

You see, Rosie wears glasses. So when i arrived at her house, i told her, "are you wearing your contacts?" she said, "no, i can't get them on.." LOL. Man, was I in for a mission. But, she has the most pretty eyes. Her glasses would hide them. I was like you have to try. She get's soo scared that she flicks as soon as she feels something in her eye. So me, all determined and all, had to try...with the help of Samantha.

and i got them in!! This pic is freaky, right?

Here are some of the photos of their day:

Yet another painful one:

A few make-up artist's details:

Arrival at the church:

I think this is one of the hottest videos i've ever seen. If you see it in DVD, or HD, EVEN BETTER. The artist is 12 Stones. Just had to share.

Hasta luego :)

2006-11-13T12:43:00.000-05:00

I'm beginning to really like these :)

Look at that wonderful smile!

2006-11-07T22:40:00.000-05:00

Ever since i began the wedding business, i've never thought of going to a wedding as a guest. Funny, huh? The last time i went to a wedding as a guest was like two years ago, but anyway, i realized that i have way more fun shooting one. I thought i was going to relax and have a good time, which i did, but it wasn't the same. I think i got use to the rush, the fast moments and being close the the bride and groom.
So...i was invited to a wedding this saturday and had a great time--played some catching up with friends, ate and just sat there. Of course i took my camera w/ me to steal a few snap shots. So i'll just post a few.

I love these moments from way back:

This little guy was my model alll dayyyy:

And my favorite of the day. This couple was really into each other:

Thanks for reading! :)

2006-11-03T13:04:00.000-05:00

Thank you Jess & Li!!!

2006-11-01T21:14:00.000-05:00

I always feel joy capturing these special moments. Re-viewing is like re-living. It is a special privilege God has giving me of being part of this powerful growing ministry. Check them out.

I can't stop bragging about how much fun I had in this wedding. The people were so much fun to be with. I really felt part of the family. It was funny because people didn't think I was the actual photographer. I say that's a good thing! Wish all weddings were like that. Check out the shots!

The dress:

Shoes:

Bouquet:

Some of the rings:

Hair and make up:

I like this one of the bride, as she shows off some ballerina moves before putting on her dress. How cool is that:

I like these painful ones...lol

I like these moments where the father steps on the dress while walking down the aisle. It makes a great photo:

I had that stuff all over my hair!

Can't forget lil' ones:

True moments:

I'm way behind on bloggin :-/ but i'm trying to catch up!

This was a great party to be in. In shortest words possible, the groom is from Lebanon, and the bride from Ecuador. The groom's family comes over to ask for the brides hand, and if the bride's family accepts, the groom enters and the party begins. It was very interesting and such a privilege to shoot something of such family value. (The wedding was last wk, 10-8-06...i'll be posting up those next) :)

Here are some details:

The bride:

Grooms family asking for hand:

Happily accepts with a handshake :)

Grooms family presenting gifts to bride:

Groom enters:

And the party began with the beautiful sky:

Shooting for studios is really cool...Show up...shoot...drop your images off...and get paid!

This was a really fun wedding to shoot. I met some great people and had a great time. I even ran into an old friend from Jr. High School. He happen to be the front desk manager. (Hey X, thanks for the free juicy steak!!!)

I really like the sky in this one:

The boys:

Look at the attention on this one:

Due to weather, softball has been a little slow. Here are some shots from our last game.
It's actually exciting because we are one game from the playoffs.
Shooting softball kinda sucks because of the angles. I wish i can walk on the field and shoot people. lol.

I always enjoy the prep shots:

I really like this one:

Safe!!!

Saturday was a fun shoot. I had the opportunity to take some shots of an outdoor Christian event, run by Evang. Jose Luis. There was a lot to offer in the community. There was great music, free food, clothes and entertainment. Most important of all, Jesus Christ ;)

Here are some shots of the children:

There was a group of dancers and rappers. That was really cool:

Infamous Lisandra with her pantomime talent, and our incredible singers Jessie & CeCe:

Can’t forget Angel and Luis:

These brothers had a message for the community. They sure blew it up!

A lot of people stopped by to listen:

THANKS FOR READING!

I'm so happy to have so special people in my life. Thanks to Gheisha and Lela for helping me on Saturday! (not angel...lol) It wouldn't have been possible without you.

First I should say it was a long day! Shooting from 5.30am up to 9.30pm. Whoa! I was beat!

And the story begins:

Arrival at Gwen's 5:30am ;)

The attire:

Gwen cracking up...I really don't know what she had the night before, cause she was at it all day--you'll see:

Then, her make up:

This is a funny one:

Isn't she beautiful?

Family:

Gwen had a cool gift for Jony:

A stinking Movado!!!

They got a harpist for the ceremony. How cool!

The wedding--Look at her. She is such a tease!

Stole some shots right after the ceremony:

I forgot what they were doing! They are so into each other:

Mom wrote Gwen a song and had a special guest sing it:

After reception I downloaded my images and headed for the beach:
