Jill has pet iguanas and Dean owns a micro-brewery… could they be cooler?

Venue: Bosque del Cabo



As an experiment I processed these images using Bibble 5 instead of Lightroom… not bad huh? More on that in a future post.

This has to be the shortest wedding I’ve ever shot. The first image of Diane is at 5:05pm with 35sec and the last image of the ceremony was at 5:08pm with 1sec. To keep the wedding short they got straight to it… a poem, the vows and the kiss. Voila! Total ceremony time: 3min 34sec.

Venue: Diria Costa Rica Beach Resort

Diana is a photographer and so it was really important for her that the pictures weren’t short of spectacular. I was delighted to discover she had the church and ballroom painted with light.


There’s also a gallery on my Facebook Page. Find it in the Photos tab.

I was totally stoked when I saw that Diana had the church illuminated so beautifully.

Lucia, my second shooter, seriously kicked by butt with this picture!

This is probably my favorite image from the whole wedding. Again, Lucia kicked my butt.

They are moving to the US and it may be a long time before we get to see them again. Marcia and I gave them a sweet-heart session so they could have some pictures of themselves in this beautiful place they’ve called home.

“Wow! The pictures are fantastic!!! They’re exactly what we were hoping for – they look very natural, your composition is beautiful. The moments you captured are incredible, too!”
- Tom

Monica and Tom had a special request for the photography of their wedding. They asked that all the pictures be made with available light so the environment they created could be preserved.

It was a wonderful opportunity to experiment and push the envelope to create images that otherwise would not have existed. Thank you.

There are more species of plants and animals per square mile here than anywhere else in the world.

The whole experience could not have been more authentic. From the critters I couldn’t stop photographing, the Titi monkey that visited the ceremony site and high-tide waves that came crashing in on us. It was an awesome and very real experience.
