  • Ariel & John

    • Just finished working on a few pictures from this beautiful wedding.  It took place on Ono Island, the day the weather channel expected a small hurricane to land on our coast, and it was an outdoor wedding!  Surprisingly it was OK, it rained only while the bride was getting ready, and during the reception, the sky was beautiful, maybe a little dark.Dorene Nash, from Mobile was the hired photographer and I was second shooting for her. The bride was just stunning beautiful, and I love her name!  S [...]

  • Julie et Floriant

    • This beautiful wedding took place in my hometown, Aix-en Provence. The cermony and reception were held at Floriant's grand parents beautiful home. The ceremony was at noon, followed by drinks, then guests went home, meanwhile everyone was at work to transform the terrasse into a dinning and dancing floor. People returned later in the evening and probably partied all night long, by 10 PM dinner wasn't served yet, and the sun was on its way to set down. Marriages are somewhat different in Fran [...]

  • Valerie and Alexander

    • This french wedding took place in the south of France on July 14Th (national day). The location was beautiful with an unusual view of the mountain Sainte Victoire (Cezanne's favorite study), surrounded by vineyards, the weather was so pleasant and it even became cool as the evening progressed (nothing like steamy Pensacola!).I only wish I could have attended the workshops prior to their big day.

  • Bambi Cantrell and Jerry Ghionis wedding Photography workshop in Boston

    • Time flies!I returned home to the US barely 12 days ago and have already completed an absolute wonderful wedding photography workshop (again) with world top wedding photographers, Bambi Cantrell and Jerry Ghionis, and got my 3 children all situated with their first day of school today (big successful day for all 3!), let's not even talk about the loads of laundry and the scary huge pile of mail waiting for me after 7 weeks out of the country (although my husband did a great job of paying bills o [...]

  • Paris workshop 6

    • A few more pictures from Montmartre and in front of the Moulin Rouge,We bought so many tickets to each get a ride on the carousel, and take several pictures,Our last big "field trip" was to go to Versailles, unfortunatly we discovered they have rigid rules and it would have been impossible for us to use our cameras, beside the tourist flow would have been overwhelming.  Instead we went to Maisons-Laffitte's castle, which isn't all that popular, although magnificient, and we had the place just ab [...]

  • Paris workshop 4

    • Sherry and Rachel on the steps of Montmartre,The day started with some rain and when we arrived to our destination the skies cleared, we have been very lucky with the weather through the week.We took these close to the top, and again attracted a lot of attention among all the tourist. We stayed very conscious of pickpockets and as we took turns taking pictures we would watch each others back and never ran into any problems.One of our assignment was to photograph each other, one challenge being [...]

I really appreciated the opportunity to try new equipment.Leaving [...]
