Jenna and Sam's Wedding took place in the Beautiful Harrison Hot Springs. Rain was threatening to ruin the day, but lucky held off and ended up being perfect for skin tones and portraits.
I had a great day with these two and the Sam's Dance was and will forever been MEMORABLE!
A Ride Through Chepo! Its that time again. The beautiful Mama Nido, (stands for Mothers Nest); has been pulled out of the water to get a face lift. At the Chepo Ship Yard in Panama, she sits looking a bit tired and weary. Flame torches and welders tirelessly work away at her haul; patching and scraping away the salt water damage. Its been a interesting process to watch how huge slabs of steel can be cut and welded into place. The yard is HOT and very smelly, mostly due to the fish processing plant across the way.
With a couple more weeks left to go, she is due for a fresh paint job and then she will be one her way back to the ocean; housing the Famous Picaflor and The Hooker, fishing boats!

James working hard!
Some of the ship yard workers, working in the Hot Haul of the boat. Temperatures over 100 Degree's inside.
This is how they haul boats in and out of the water. An old train rail system, full with cables and pulleys. The ship Yard worker's are waiting to through lines onto the ship.

Rossana & Damian Wedding Samples:
I traveled to beautiful Malta in the first week of July. I had the wonderful chance to photograph Rossana and Damian's beautiful Island Wedding. The ceremony was in a old little chapel in the sleepy town of Mellieha. The weather was incredible and the day is definitely one to remember.
Here are some of their pic's!
Steph & Andrew Wedding Samples I have not been great at updated the last 2 Weddings that I have photographed. Here are samples from Steph and Andrew's Wedding from June. We had some amazing weather and it was HOT HOT HOT! The wedding was held down at Lonsdale Pier at the Pinnacle hotel. The ceremony was held on top of a beautiful roof top patio of the Pinnacle hotel. We then headed to the Pier for the portrit session (one of my personal favoriate places to shoot).
Congrats guys!
I was incredibly lucky to spend the past 8 Days on the beautiful Island of Malta. Its an amazing country full of kind people, good food, incredible history and of course; amazing architecture. The rugged Island coast line boast some of the most impressive fortified cities, build centuries ago during the time of the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire. The Island is overwhelmingly historical and the architecture of the cities is definitely impressive. Malta sit's only around 90km or so off the coast of Sicily and you can definitely see the influence in the food in Malta. Fresh pasta's, sauces and fish!
Here are some samples of my Mediterranean trip!
The amazing Commando restaurant, owned by my friend Rossana and Damien Ciappara. The food was amazing and the service and atmosphere made me to and eat there almost every night!
Goat Cheese from Gozo, breaded and freed on some caramelized onions and spinach with reduced balcamic vinegar. YUM!
Rossana heading out for service. Incredible food!
