Beatriz and Carlos, Monterrey Mexico

I recentrly flew to Monterrey Mexico to photograph Beatriz and Carlos, a wonderful couple that will be getting married next March at the amazing Fudidora Park in Monterrey. This was a last minute trip I made before flying myself to spend the holidays with my family at the beach and I'm glad I did it. Despite Beatriz and Carlos being tired from Beatriz' sister's wedding the night before, they were in such good disposition to work with me especially because my style of photography is so unfamiliar in Mexico and they were not expecting...well....to have so much fun! Carlos home served as the setting for the entire photoshoot and we included a small session with Carlos kids, America and Charlie, who were so excited to be part of the photo session. Gracias Beatriz y Carlos por sus atenciones, fuero excelentes modelos y pase unas horas memorables. Gracias por aguantarme y hacer todo lo que les pedi sin queja alguna, espero que les gusten sus fotos tanto como a mi. Saludos desde Mazatlan!

Thessa and Robert, McDonalds Campus

On a beautiful Fall day I had the pleasure of photographing the engagment session of Thessa and Robert. I love engagement sessions, it gives me the opportunity to bond with the couple and take my time creating images without the pressure of a normal wedding day. I like to photograph two types of session, a casual one and then one more romantic and formal. This session was a delight since the weather was absolutely fantastic that day and the McDonals University campus has so much to offer. After our session at the pond, they changed clothes into a more formal attire, Thessa looked stunning. When I went to the back of the hotel and saw the deck overlooking the pond, I knew I had to create some images there. With the summer gone, the deck has been let dry and had a very monochromatic feel to it, almost like a fishing pier, I thought it was a very romantic setting. After the daylight was gone, we proceeded indoors and I used the multiple paintings that the hotel has hanging on the walls as backdrops to create very unique images that I absolutely love. Thessa and Robert, you inspired me to create these images of the two of you, thank you for being so willing to do anything I asked you to, I confess I can't wait for your wedding day next year!
