Ok so we have been crazy traveling the last couple of weeks and I wanted to share one image that my couple are very proud of since they worked so hard to stand still in the middle of the night on top of a hill, overlooking the rainforest, in the Mountains of Belize with poisonous snakes, bullet ants and tarantulas all about, during their destination engagement shoot (I apologize for the run-on sentence). We had just finished eating dinner at the Blancaneaux Lodge (one of Francis Ford Coppola's properties) and decided to shoot against the backdrop of the magnificent stars.  (Yes... people those stars are not photoshopped in and this is one exposure... be it a long exposure).  Aarti and Purav are getting married in Austin in April and decided to do a destination engagement session in one of their favorite getaways (Belize).  Three days.  Four hotels. Four Flights.  Beaches, Rain-forests, Mountains, Waterfalls, and Mayan Ruins all made their way into the backdrop of this amazing session.  Hope to blog a bit of the session soon but for now.... enjoy this wicked cool image courtesy of my new Nikon D3s which allows me to test the limits and imagination of my photography.
