The true measure of a professional is whether or not they can win when they dont have their "A" game How does that relate to wedding photography you ask?? Well you'd expect great images if your wedding is in the late afternoon at the Ritz Carlton in the spring with a fabulous sunset. But, thats not what happens at most events. What if the venue isnt so photogenic?? What if its raining? What if its dark? There are lots of factors that occur each week at weddings all across the country that dont necessarily lend themselves to "great photography". Somehow, the true professional.....still needs to go out there and deliver the goods and get that "win"!! Thats what you want to find in your A team of wedding vendors in all categories.

Ok Everyone!! When you call, this is the face behind the voice!! My wife Debbie, and here strange earrings!!! Actually I'm just playing with another new fast prime lens...the 135 2.0 L which is one of Canons premier lenses...look at how buttery the out of focus area is behind her....known as the bokeh. Look for some spectacular images from this nice hunk of glass!!
Pipers Landing wedding

Karen and Anthony celebrated their wedding vows this Christmas season at Pipers Landing Country Club. After several days of rain, the ceremony got bumped indoors, but that just added more holiday spirit to the already festive occasion. Little A.J., wasn't too sure about all the festivities, but soon warmed up to the crowd once the party started. DJ Lou from Paragon Entertainment kept everyone hoppin on the dance floor all night long in his usual fashion! Dee fashioned up a great cake from Cakes by Dee again as usual!! All in all it was a wonderful holiday wedding. Congrats again to Karen and Anthony!! Brad

Well we were in Miami Beach for a wedding of 2 Orthodox Jewish familes on Sunday. It really was quite an experience. As you can see from the pix below, they all had a great time!! Here we are looking thru the dividing wall in the middle of the dancefloor. Just one of the interesting customs we go to be part of.
