Dramatic Weather ~

During one of my weddings over the weekend there was a dramatic Storm that blew in! I saw what was coming and immediately grabbed a 14mm super wide f/2.8 at 160 of a second, no flash and with an ISO of 1000, and without haste ran with the bride splashing in the rain to seize the moment and boy did we ever~! Take a look at this these double rainbow pictures captured after the micro burst! The bright glow you see in the center of the crest of the rainbow is coming from back lighting of the sun piercing around the corner of the house illuminating the rainbow's center spectrum giving it a nuclear like explosion effect; which also perfectly lit up the brides face as well! These images have had no vignette's placed on it's borders, but what you see are natural dark closures from the sphere of the lens accentuating the clouds naturally. After capturing these amazing moments, it started to rain again and so I sent the Bridesmaids out to splash and play in it and SPLASH they did! Singing IN The Rain just became alive once more!

Dramatic Bridals ~

These shots were nailed by Stevee when we spent a morning having a blast shooting her bridals! The very first image you see of her is in black & white which is stunning! This image is probably one of my most favorite shots for the year of 2008 as it has a dramatic whimsical look giving an old-world story telling of something mystifying! The slideshow of her bridals are a must to see!

San Diego California Wedding

Rita & James were married at a Naval Military Base in San Diego! Rita serves as a reserve in the US Air Force and James is a doctor of chiropractic... They were an incredible couple to work with and displayed a story of love and romance in their relationship!

About Rita & James & Their Remarks:

"We had such an incredible time and D'Andrew made our day that much more memorable!! He made us look amazing...even though we are already :) Thank You to D'Andrew and Kimberly!

James and I met in Vegas. Spent almost 2 years in a long distant relationship. James was going to school at Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, TX, while Rita was going to school, working at the City of Henderson (in Nevada) and working for the Air Force Reserves. We are now happily married and residing in North Las Vegas, NV.

It was tough at times, but well worth the wait and effort! Nothing really good in life is easy...it all takes hard work!. . . so many people have enjoyed the pics and wondered who was our photographer! Love ya guys!"
