Wedding Show 2008

If you've ever wondered why us, Wedding Show Exhibitors, seem so frantic around this time of the year, let me enlighten you: It's the Wedding Show Craziness!!! Every year, we say we'll be ready early, we'll do everything ahead of time... But it never fails. Summer turns into fall which runs into Christmas and before you know it: it's HERE again!

This year, I thought to myself: Who Needs Sleep? So, with the genius design mind of Yoko Chapman (who also got no sleep) we came up with this booth here. Well, it was mostly Yoko who came up with everything, including the cushions which she hand-sewed:






So hey, don't forget to come by and visit me. I still have some 2009 dates open and a couple of 2008 dates as well, specially if you're getting married on a Friday or Sunday, or any day in Spring or Fall.

See you soon.

Tyler and Erin's Wedding Highlights

I'm so excited! I've just learned about this amazing slideshow format and I'm happy to share it with you guys! Enjoy!

When in Rome...

I had never been to Europe. Yes, Brazil is crazy and exotic, but Europe has such an old feeling to it. Well, it IS ancient and as you're walking down the streets, it actually feels like you're walking into history.

I went there with my little brother, Filipe who is also a photographer. We stayed in a little town called Soriano Nel Cimino. From there we travelled to Orvietto and Tuscany. The last two days were spent in Rome.

The little towns were my favorite, since they weren't very touristy and you really got a great feel for the people and FOOD! Wow! Did I ever learn a few recipes there!

Here's a little slideshow of the shots that I took there.

Tyler & Erin

On December 8th, two days before I left on my trip to Italy, I photographed Tyler and Erin's wedding! It was such a cold day, but that's the beauty of this profession: you get so much variety! It also helps that the bride and groom were so much fun and were so relaxed!

Thank you Tyler and Erin for letting me capture the joy of your wedding day!
