Engagement photos-Seal Beach
June 21, 2009.,

It is very easy to photography people who are in love, and Yaima and Pierre are a perfect example. While I was shooting their engagement session last week, their love for each other was very evident in the way they looked, talked and held each other. I had a great time with you guys and I can’t wait to photograph your wedding next month.






Sergio Photographer and Rodolfo Arpia-workshop
June 09, 2009.,

Last week I attended a workshop hosted by two amazing photographers, Sergio Photographer and Rodolfo Arpia. Sergio Photographer is a wedding photographer based in Arizona and the creator of amazingly beautiful images which wow me every time I see them and inspire me to be a better photographer.

In addition to being an amazing and successful wedding photographer, Rodolfo Arpia is also the founder of Foro de Fotografos, a spanish photography forum connecting spanish speaking photographers all over the world.

Sergio and Rodolfo provided a two day workshop packed with information, personal experiences, encouragement and support. I have never been to a workshop where the presenters gave 100% of themselves, were willing to answer every question and worked very long days back to back. Although we were there for over 12 hours each day, it didn’t feel long and I would have liked to stay longer.

Thank you so much guys; I was truly inspired and I am excited to put into practice what I learned.
I also enjoyed meeting and spending time with other fellow photographers who attended the workshop, you know who you are.
