Warren's 40th Birthday Bash

One of my oldest best buddies had a fabulous 40th Birthday Party. Warren Dietel owner of Puff ‘n Stuff Catering in Orlando http://www.puffnstuff.com/ . The party was in downtown Orlando with about 300 of his closets friends and family. Warren is a huge fan of the 80’s and that was the theme. WD 40. Get it?

Excellent!! Jeffrey Stoner was having a very weird hair day.


The Love Boat.

Robert Palmer, eat your heart out.









A special thanks to Kristal for photographing the event. We all had a wonderful time. Can’t wait for the 50th Birthday bash.

Melodie and Sin's Wedding

This past weekend we had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful Indian Wedding at The Ritz Carlton, http://www.grandelakes.com/ It was a an incredible weekend and we introduced some real creative ways of expressing art in the wedding industry. The bride and groom were just an amazing couple and were a pleasure to work with Marlon Hightower was our impressionist painter that did live paintings of the event.
At the end of the evening we had the paintings on display in the lobby. The guests were blown away!





The Baarat. Normally the groom sits on the horse. He decided two horses and a carriage was a better idea.


Definitely a crowd that loved to dance during the Baarat.


A traditional Hindu ceremony that was a little over an hour long.




Melodie change into her wedding dress for the reception.

Who has the bigger guns?



Reception room design by Flourish http://www.flourishproductions.com/ and Heather Snively of Weddings Unique http://www.weddingsunique.com/ and they did another incredible job. Flourish also did the floral and the hotel did the lighting.







Dad dancing with her lovely daughter.
The cake was done by the pastry chef at the hotel.
I love these photo-booths. http://www.plumbfum.com/





We had another incredible time with everyone and I wanted to thank everyone who has referred to us so many weddings over the years. We do not advertise and all of our business is by referrals. So thank you everyone. Will see you at the next event.

Bombardier Learjet 60 XR

Last week I was given the honor of photographing an incredible mid-size jet. This 8 passenger plus one jet is one of the fastest jet in the world. One of my favorite client's ask me to photograph the jet for them which of course I said "yes". The plane is only a week old. Now I may be a pilot however, this thing blew me away. We photographed at the Orlando Executive Airport on the new US Customs ramp. They were very gracious in letting us use their electricity and water. My happy clients/friends.


This is Diane and Tank. This is probably the coolest dog I've ever met. Just don't tell my wife!!

This reminds of the whales I saw in Maui last year.
They had a couple of cars they wanted in the photo. Yes, that's a Drophead on the right.



Glass cockpit. I'm jealous.



I used my laptop as a prop. Does the photo on the screen look familiar?

Tank was just the greatest dog. Thank you for letting me photograph this wonderful jet. I still should go for a ride, just in case I missed something.
