Ybor City Tampa Wedding

FDRPhoto — Thu, 03 May 2012 05:32:48 +0000

I recently traveled to Tampa Florida for a wedding in the historic Ybor City. The reception took place in the historic Don Vicente hotel and outside was just riddled with great shots. I managed to capture these two shots just using my HTC EVO camera phone. It shoots 8 Megapixal photos, but I think this goes to prove that its not always about the equipment, but also about the eye!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful young lady literally weeks before her baby was due. It was a remarkable experience and I am happy to have been able to be part of creating these memories

I invited a few photog friends of mine to go for a photowalk and we chose Chinatown-Chicago. I wanted to try my hand at street photography and this is what I came up with. Actually a pretty good day!

Shintos Naperville Fast and Furious Photo Shoot

So I have always been and fan of nicely customized automobiles and a lover of bikes….I still cannot get over my parents selling my ’65 Nova while I was in college! Scarred for life! Anyway, I was called out to do a photo shoot for a local restaurant and was able to capture some nice photos of all of the rides there. It was nice to see each person’s different taste in customization. It was also cool to see a couple of young ladies on their c-rockets who were nice enough to pose for the camera! Enjoy!

My son is a part of the BH Martial Arts Demonstration team, which recently performed at the Kendall County Special Olympics. Needless to say, what a talented group of Martial Artists! Is that what they called?

Automobiles

I had the opportunity to photograph some beautiful antique automobiles at my church’s, Calvary Naperville, festival this summer. I do have to admit though, my son Noel took the amazing shot of the orange Chevy Nova reflecting off of the Pontiac GTO!

Gustavo & Jessica Wedding

So I had an awesome opportunity to shoot a wedding for an awesome couple, Gustavo and Jessica. Shinto’s Restaurant of Naperville (which I highly recommend) was holding their first wedding and wedding reception. It was beautifully set up and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. So I decided to post a few of the pictures that I took. I believe I was able to capture the true feeling of love between these two. Simply amazing!

Ok, like I met this great person who invited my wife and I to a Black and White Party at Shinto’s in Naperville. I am shooting a wedding here in a couple of weeks, so I decided to bring my camera along to see what photos I could get from the festivities. Lots of great food, great fun and great people! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
