I spent a week with David Beckstead up at the NEIPP workshop in Cape Cod, MA.  Workshops are awesome when you have an amazing photographer hosting them.  David is very outside the box and loves unique composition.  He also has a pretty badass mustache!  Below are some images that were created during the workshop.  No professional models were used in this shoot and no amateur models were injured during the shoots

Love my infrared camera!

Did I mention I love my infrared camera…..

I had an awesome time with Maria & Chris from the very start.  The start of the nor’easter was hitting NJ on their wedding day, but held out just enough for us to create some images outdoors.  The bridal party was excellent and everyone was exactly on time.  They had a mannequin body to put her dress on, but the mannequin’s big booty was too big for the bride’s dress.  It was a funny joke for the first ten minutes we got there.  Andrew from Stomping Bread Productions was there to capture the day on video.  He is always super easy to work with and fun throughout the day.   The ceremony was held at St. Dorothea’s in Eatontown.  After the ceremony we went to Monmouth University’s campus to create their images.   We then were off to Addison Park for the reception.  Addison is really beautiful inside and had really cool black/white marble flooring throughout.  The Jason Craig Band provided the entertainment and kept it cranking until 12am!

The brides sisters were very emotional during the father/daughter dance.

Bianca and Lyle had an amazing destination wedding in Tulum, Mexico and Mil Amores.  Mil Amores used to be an old drug smuggling site with ties to Pablo Escobar.  There are even hidden passageways throughout the site used for smuggling or quick getaways.  Leanne Marie Weddings planned the event and organized everything for the day.  They had a beautiful beach ceremony. I find it funny how people just run right behind them during the ceremony to finish their beach workouts.  At least none of the topless beach goers walked behind Lyle and Bianca.   The party that evening or shall we say the last party of the week was awesome.  Lyle had two friends from NY that are professional DJs that were off the hook.  The shots were flying and they did not stop dancing until 2:37am.  We did a few excursions with them the next day that I will post on my site later the next week. 

This was the view from the suite she got ready in.

Bianca’s necklace was handmade by one of her friends.

The mariachi band during the ceremony and cocktail hours were amazing.

Bianca’s mother as she let go of her daughter’s hand to begin the ceremony.

Yea dude, that is a wedding going on….

DJ Shane was working the turntables.

Bianca’s aunt serenaded her with a song and their friend played acoustic guitar.

The Mayan dancers were amazing. They did a thirty minute routine. I have to say what they did looked way harder than even P90X

DJ Ralph did a little breaking later in the evening.
