hONG kONG

A few of our faves from the day. Small Village in the Kowloon area of Hong Kong. Approximately 500 guests.

Low resolution artifacts and softness introduced by the shrinkage done by Photobucket where we host them.  Costanza style shrinkage no doubt.

Getting to know the Locals in Hong Kong

Considering we did not speak the same language, these 2 little villagers in Hong Kong talked my ear off for a good 5 minutes!

They were the sweetest things ever.

and then their friends showed up and made sure they got it into my head really good that they “we love the USA, hi USA!” which is exactly what they were all saying here.

As for the Cuisine of the evening. There were about 600 people there. The entire village. Each table had one of these huge pots of food. in it was pretty much every part of the Chicken you could imagine and a few other things we never could quite figure out. Needless to say, not our favorite food but definately an experience.

Each table had a hot plate under these big bowls and was at a little picnic table. Constantly locals would come up to us and constantly try and show us some new food we might have been ignoring. Also pounding some local beers into us.

Great time.

The entrance to the Wedding, no clue what this said but I was assuming it was all about the Wedding.

The House Smells WONDERFUL!

Thanks largely to these candles. If you have not tried them, DO. Our massage therapists use them in their lobby and we fell in love. Now we have them throughout the house.

Its nice to find a scented candle that REALLY does smell great and throw its scent through a whole room. Check em out if your into scents.

Excited?? You should be! This is an excellent opportunity for those brides who are already married and perhaps did not get to have the Destination Wedding they wanted or perhaps just did not end up with the photos they had hoped.

This offer is for either of the following 2 types of brides:

1. You did not get to have the Destination Wedding of your Dreams and thefore dont have sexy beach style photos of you and your Hubby.

2. You did have a beach Wedding and made the mistake of either going with the resorts photographer or you took an “online giveaway” and the photos ended up being kinda….not great. Or they just lacked the artisticness that would have captured the location and you in it.

This is your chance to do it again!

Here is how it works. On September 21st we will depart from Miami on a 7 day cruise to 3 amazing locations. With us is coming 6-10 of the Worlds most eager photographers, to learn, to shoot, to portfolio build.

Geocaching!

Today we decided to have some fun and try something new we heard about a few months ago called Geocaching. its a blast!

Basically its a giant international treasure hunt that is forever growing and you get to find and plant your own “caches” everywhere in the world you visit.

Today we kept is simple and decided to see if people were indeed Geocaching in our own neck of the woods. They were. Thousands of them! Our first Geocach took us to a Costco parking lot. Of all places to end up, this was awesome because not only did we find a Travelbug in the Geocach but we also were able to get a 24 pack of Toilet paper, 12 cans of Tuna and Dog food.

Here is our first find in our Geocaching journey. We plan to plant some of our own Geocaches as we travel throughout Asia and the West Indies this year. If you decide to do it, let us know and we will give you the coordinates and see how good you are. ;)

We can’t begin to tell you all how much fun we had shooting 2 Weddings last week in the Riviera Maya. First we shot a great Wedding for our new friends Michaela and Jake in Cancun at the RIU Palace and then we were quickly off to shoot for Sabrena and Jeremiah at the Ritz Carlton

Pics from the Weddings to come soon!
A Little something we threw together for this pic (ha! not)

A quick shot from our flight in. Actually YES, we are always taking pics =)

Abbie and Francis get Hitched

Francis tied the knot recently with his longtime love Abbie.

Alway a challenge shooting the Wedding of another accomplished photographer but we love the challenge it presents artistically.

We really enjoyed our time in Monterey, it was our first time there and hopefully wont be our last!

Hard to choose a handful of pics out of a thousand but here we go!
Enjoy
