Who said that you cannot find love?
Royal Cakes in Glendale (Los Angeles) designed and produced this tabletop with large floral paper mâchés that crowned the centerpiece. Grace Ormonde of Wedding Style Magazine asked me to capture its essence.
The only test of my skills was making the transparent chairs visible. To do so, I added just a splash of light on their legs.
New York. What can I say? Everything about the city excites me.
I had the honor of working with Grace Ormonde in Chelsea Piers, New York for her 2012 Fall / Winter Wedding Style Magazine. This photo was quite a challenge. In order to properly compensate for the background cityscape, I had to light the foreground appropriately. In normal circumstances, that is easy. However, this beautiful white and orange table top has a sheen that reflected artificial lighting in the most unflattering way.
After about two hours of struggling, this centerpiece became a full spread when it was originally supposed to be printed as a vertical single page.
Wicked. My buddy, Ray Santana, invited me to second shoot with him at an awesome wedding in Miami Mandarin Oriental in April 2012. The last time I was there was when I was working with Grace Ormonde of Wedding Style Magazine launch her new book.
Looking forward to working with a published wedding photographer like himself. It’s going to be a wild time!
Ciao,
