We have been very busy with the creation of our new website galleries and I wanted to give you a sneak peak of some of our portrait sessions that will be included in the galleries.  Included in this post is everything from our married couples sessions with the family dog to our destination family reunion coverage in Mexico, pictures taken of My wife and I by Marco for a commercial project going into an office (First PIC), and Maternity and Baby's first year photos.  Please notice that though we do the large family portraits that you might want hanging on your wall our coverage is centered around commissioning us to capture the essence and relationships within the family.

Marco:
The pictures are beyond awesome. You certainly captured very special moments of Elena and Ramon's wedding, which we will talk about and treasure forever. You have an incredible eye for just the right expression, pose, lighting, and composition. I am so thankful for your talents. It truly was a pleasure meeting you and watching you execute your role as photo journalist. Many continued blessings.

Mother of the bride says:

Marco, the year long plannning and details were captured in your pictures. These pictures are wonderful works of art and I will treasure and admire these works of art and your talent. Thank you for you kindness in letting my son follow you around. May you be able to share your talents with other families. Thank You again

(06.14.09 @ 01:04 PM)
Tam says:

Marco, The pictures rock! I was totally impressed with your ability to so easily assimilate into the celebrations of family and friends. Your photos not only record the events, but more importantly expose the emotions and feelings of each moment in time.

"DAD" FARACH says:

MARCO: I knew you had captured some diamonds during this affair, but after seeing what you actually got, there is no way to describe it. I have read all the comments so far, and they all describe parts of the whole. Your work is unbelievable. The black-and -whites are as good as the color pictures. You are almost too young to be this good !! THANK YOU !!

Marco, these photos are magnificent!! You have captured the beauty, the passion, the joy, and the love of this wonderful event. The photos dance off the website and into my heart, giving me memories that words alone could never describe. You are a true professional!!

(06.15.09 @ 06:48 PM)
Christina Maria says:

While I was not in attendance I feel like I was there! From the droplets of water on the laundry line, to the disgruntled children's expressions, reflections in wine glasses, a graceful embrace of a gorgeous young couple, to the flowing movement of a bride, composed, yet seemingly ready to take flight -- you truly made me feel like I was present! These photos are incredible!

(It was also due to hearing the proud and excited "Tio's"? descriptions of details for the past year - including how his mom makes pasta!)

We had the absolute pleasure of spending 5 days Photographing Rob and Kathy in Puerto Vallarta recently for their fantastic destination wedding. Special Kudos must go to the girls over at The Dazzling Details for their fantastic taste.  I have worked with them several times in Puerto Vallarta and they never cease to amaze me with their creativity and attention to detail. The time and energy that they put into designing Kathy's perfect wedding shows in all the detail shots I chose for this post.  A special thanks to the extremely talented Tomas Flint for coming down with me from NY to help capture this beautiful wedding. Tom was an absolute pleasure to work with and brought an extraordinary eye along with his sexy 200/1.8 (you will just have to check out his website to see it).  Stewart from Boca Bento Catered and managed the event. The Reception Site was an Intimate Villa on the coast South of Puerto Vallarta - Villa Mediterreano.   

Kathy and Rob.  Your wedding was beautiful.  Your friends and family were full of life and laughter.  You two were a pleasure to photograph.  Your endless energy and excitement with the "photography" aspect of the wedding made it very easy to be impassioned toward excellence in creating wonderful images for you.  I felt blessed to be a part of your wedding. Thank You my dear new friends for allowing us to be a part of your wedding.

Not only has my "wife" Kathy planned the most amazing week of my life, but she also made the best wedding decision ever BOOKING YOU AS OUR PHOTOGRAPHER. After you came to NYC last year to do our engagement shoot til now I have always known that you were going to produce photos that would capture everything we are about. You know how to find emotion in your subjects and truly bring out the best in everyone. Our wedding guests fell in love with you as a photographer and a friend. Everyone raves about your work.

Joe. You are a wonderful artist. I really paid attention to you while you were working. If i didn't I wouldn't have known you were there. You were low pressure. I noticed you were never rushing us. I appreciate the work ethic you and Tom have. I feel like you were friends or family. I was a little nervous learning there were going to be not one, but two of you. I thought that might hinder the wedding experience. It did not. I think it enhanced it! ALL MY BEST to you and Tom.
