Photo of the Week

My wife and I were on a day trip on the island of Barbados on a cruise to the Caribbean last February.  The tour bus stopped at an orchid farm but the weather wasn't cooperating.  I was able to duck under a tarp that they had over one of the outside areas.  All the flowers were wet from the rain which makes them even more vibrant and beautiful.  I'm glad that I brought my 100mm macro along for the ride!  I got a little wet too, but it was worth it.
I treated myself to a shot of good Caribbean rum before we hopped back on the bus...

Samantha & Wilbur

Samantha and Wilbur are getting married soon.  It was a last minute pre-wedding session so we headed to Santa Cruz to one of my favorite spots.

We started by the wharf.  I loved what they wore...very light and summery.

Then we headed to the open fields of Lighthouse Field...

Now to the rocks between the ocean and W. Cliff Drive..

Ended up on the beach.  It was perfect...low tide!

We wanted to do something at night with the city lights.  Santa Cruz goes to sleep early but we found some cool neon for our backgrounds.

Susanna & Mark

Susanna and Mark.  They're getting married this Saturday.  I can't wait to photograph their wedding...a very sweet couple.

I was in Santa Cruz the other day, shooting some pre-wedding photos with a couple and when I was done a guy pulls up in a pretty nice custom bike.  He set it up so he could take a photo of it and I asked if I could step in for one.....
