Last month I traveled down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to photograph Cara and Colin’s beachside wedding at Dreams Resort & Spa. The day of the wedding was beautiful with cloudless blue skies and pristine white sandy beaches. After the ceremony we danced the night away while drinking fresh Margaritas and Mai Tai’s. I even had some free time to be adventurous and opted to take a power gliding tour of the Baja coastline. It was a beautiful day in paradise!
Last month I had the privilege to photograph Jamie and Patrick's wedding in Athlone, Ireland. This was my first visit to Ireland and I must say that all the great things I've heard about this beautiful country is all true. Many of the guests who flew in from other countries, including myself, stayed in a group of 10 small cottages in Patrick's hometown of Glasson 20 minutes from Athlone. I was excited to discover that our cottages were next to the Glasson Country Golf Club so needless to say I played a round before the big day. The ceremony was at an amazing church in the middle of Athlone and the reception was a giant beer drinking party! Everyone was having a blast! The weather ended being beautiful the day of the wedding and everything went as planned. I was super excited to explore Ireland after the wedding. Jamie took us to Patrick's home town and we got to check out an old abandoned church that was right down the street where Patrick grew up. It was a an amazing adventure with an amazing couple!
Jamie an Patrick spent their honey moon touring around the northern coast of Ireland then they flew over to the south of France to spend a few wild nights in Nice and Monaco.

My own philosophy on life has always been reflected in my photography. Photography is not a simple mirror image of people and their lives. Photography has the power to turn fantasy into reality and forces new thoughts and ideas. Oscar Wilde once said that “Life imitates art, far more than art imitates life”, and I think he was right. It is my passion to enrich the lives of others through my own art of photography, and to allow people to capture their lives in a way that fuels their imagination and their dreams.
