So like, I went to Japan this summer, for my honeymoon. It was rad. Don't believe me, peep the frames below.
George & Christine - Mater Dolorosa Church
Funny story, Christine and I know each other. Like really friggin' well. We used to work together, and by work I mean do nothing but goof off the whole time.
She's crazy, and I mean the awesome fun kind of crazy. I don't know how George does it, but he's a saint. Hah. I went to high school with George's younger brother and didn't really get to know him until after Christine and I got close.
These two are awesome. And their reception, well that was one hell of a party. Non-stop dancing all night, just how I like it.
“It’s not a party until someone splits their pants.”
Ryan & Rachelle - Sacred Heart Chapel
I really dig, small intimate weddings. You know the what I'm talking about, the ones that don't worry about details, or how big their budget is. The only thing that matters is the passion and love between the couple.
Ryan and Rachelle had that by the boat loads, and then some. This was by far the shortest wedding I've ever had the pleasure of shooting, but let me just tell you, that there was an abundance of love in the air with these two, and it was an absolute treat to be the one to capture that moment for them.
Ryan & Emily - Chateau Country Club
Party of the year. For real, I couldn't have asked for a better couple to ring in the new year with.
I knew we were going to be in for a crazy fun wedding the second I got the inquiry from Emily. She's one of a kind and I mean that in the best freaking way, and Ryan is the perfect person for her. Those two were made for each other.
Their wedding even had a mascot, which happened to be a whale from Lucy's. I love quirky things like that.
In a nutshell: Incredible couple, awesomely wild party, and love everywhere.
Adrian & Erica - Mason Dupy Wedding
Shooting at Mason Dupy is always a treat, and with such a great couple like Adrian and Erica, it really makes for a spectacular night.
Their ceremony was incredible, with The Mason Dupy's fountain and candlelit wall for the perfect backdrop, it was nothing but intimate as the sun went down giving off the most incredible light and setting the stage for romance.
Once the swap happened and the reception kicked off, it turned into a full on party which was an absolute blast to be a part of. It's weddings like this that truly make me happy to have been able to capture it all.
Nick Briseno - BMW M3
Every now and then I get these crazy ideas, but never end up putting them to use. This time I decided to act on it and see how it'd turn out.
I ended up calling up a friend of mine from EAS and asked if he'd like to model with his car. I really wanted to get a James Bondish feel to them, and I felt like Nick was the perfect person and had the right car for the job.
Anyways, here is the end result, which I'm really happy with and so stoked to finally be posting up on my blog. Plenty more of this type of stuff in the works now.
Enjoy.
Chelsea & Kevin - St. Rita's Uptown Wedding
When I first set out to meet with Chelsea & Kevin, I knew from the minute they pulled up, that I had to shoot their wedding, after all Kevin and I drive the same car, haha. We meshed really well, and I always love it when I have so much in common with a couple, it makes me feel like I'm shooting a wedding for a couple that I've known forever.
Their wedding was incredible, from the intimate first look at the Notre Dame seminary courtyard, the gorgeous ceremony at St. Rita's uptown, all the way to the wild and fun reception at the Kenner City Pavilion.
Congrats you two!
Chris & Becca - Houma Engagement
I had the chance to shoot my recently engaged best friend, Chris and his fiancée Becca. Chris and I have been friends since the 6th grade, he's practically my brother. We've been through a lot and now he's getting married, just like myself. I've known Becca for quite some time as well, she actually went to grammar school with the two of us. I always knew Chris had a thing for her, and turns out now they're getting hitched, and I couldn't be more stoked for the two of them.
Anyways, we went out to shoot at the fire station, Bayou Cane, which Chris works at, afterwards we went to some law firm in the middle of nowhere Houma, which I can't remember the name of, nor can I even begin to tell you where it was, thus I've been dubbing it "Narnia".
Shooting in "Narnia" was incredible. The grounds were amazingly clean, and green. The light was perfect, and my company was awesome to work with. I've never really had the chance to shoot for my close friends, and I'm really glad they gave me the chance.
Congrats guys!
Project Vader & Frostbite @ NOLA Motorspots
I know what you're thinking, ON LOCATION?! Haha. It blew my mind too, and was a much needed change of pace from the studio / EAS garage.
After heading over to NOLA Motorsports, I caught up with these two beauties, Project Vader and Project Frostbite, put together by Express Auto Salon. Both are truly one of a kind, and what better photoshoot than two track monsters with opposing color schemes shot on the track at NOLA Motorsports.
Enjoy.
Brandon & Liz - The Bulldog, Mid-City Engagements
I've always wanted to do a shoot at one of my favorite bars, and just all around one of the most laid back, easy going places in the city, The Bulldog, Mid-City. When Liz asked me to shoot her and Brandon's engagements, I pretty much knew it needed to be here. Part being that her dad is part owner, and the other being because it just fit them so well, and they wanted their pup Audi with them.
I've known Brandon a long time, I shoot for him pretty regularly at his shop, Express Auto Salon. He's pretty much one of the main reasons I shoot as many awesome high-end cars as I do.
Shooting the two of them, and Audi was an absolute pleasure. They were super fun to work with, and had tons of chemistry together!
