Sometimes weddings get so hectic that you didn’t get the portrait shots that you wanted that day. No worries. We have the solution!
I shot Salila + Edgar’s Day-After Session a few weeks after their wedding and it was perfect timing. We are so very relaxed, had lots of fun, and the location that they picked, sooo cool! We started back at the Parker Palm Springs, where they had their wedding, and then on to the wind farms.
Here are some of my favorites:

The next afternoon we all went to shoot the day-after session of Samar + Ali in the magnificent city of Firenze/Florence. Despite Ali’s swollen foot, he’s a trooper for walking around on uneven cobblestones all day and we took a short tour savoring the beautiful city. Starting our day in a coffee shop, we realized that the coffee in Italy just tasted so much better than their American counterparts. The Italians take their coffee seriously! Then we walked through Piazza della Signoria, Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (the Duomo), Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, and explored the small streets and back alleys before ending the night at Piazzale Michelangelo.


It was a truly memorable experience and we can’t wait to go back to Italy!

Another set from our 3rd 2ON1 Private Workshop live shoot!


The 2ON1 Private Workshop is designed to get the highest amount of learning catered to your needs based on your current photography level. It’s like two workshops in one! Learn from Ray + Erwin, an award-winning team of photographers that shoot with different views but focusing on effective story telling through capturing emotions. It will be a full-throttle 2-day workshop that is designed to get you thinking, not to tell you how to do things. No hype, no BS.

Nightingale & Johnny drove all the way from Central California to volunteer for our 2nd 2ON1 Workshop.  The day was focused on the use of single directional light and using low light situations to create good portraits.  Here are some of our favorites:
