Spotted: A Mexican Destination Wedding

Monday, August 29th, 2011

I’m positively loca for this wedding! Remember Christian and Debbie from here?
Theirs was a weekend of family, love, celebration, and loads of chillies.
I feel extremely blessed to have the type of client I can spend 4 days with, from breakfast to dinner, and every celebration in between- and love every minute of it.
I feel blessed to be able to go to another country and try its food, meet its people, see its beauty, and live its culture for a few days.
I feel blessed for witnessing pure, young, hopeful love.

They were married for time and eternity at the LDS Colonia Juarez temple.

The reception was held at the bride’s family estate. It was gorgeous!

Mariachis’ band!

A latino wedding is only a real latino wedding if there is tons of dancing, which is my favorite part about them.

 

The next morning…

More mariachis, more food, more fun.

My clients happiness is my happines.

Love,
P

Spotted: Fallen for film.

Friday, August 19th, 2011

 

I was feeling sassy yesterday and decided to play with film with NO LIGHT METER to aid me.
For the non-photographers out there, a light meter helps you determine how light/dark your subject is before you snap a picture of it- since with film you can’t preview it immediately, and take a million pictures until you get it right.
I shot everything manually, relying only on my instincts/training to get it right.

What a great exercise!
I pushed my boundaries,
I got out of my comfort zone,
I felt the rush of the unknown,
and I reminded myself once again why I love photography.

 

Love,

P

Spotted: Falling for Film

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Last week I bought my first medium-format camera. To be honest with you, I told myself that if ONE picture came out good I’d be happy. I shot everything manual, and prayed for it to work. ”It’s your first roll, don’t panic if it sucks”- I told myself.
Little did I know…
