I NEVER do this but...

I have to say, we just ate at one of the best restaurants we've ever been to... and it's here in Orlando. Saffran near the Florida Mall is an amazing new place serving a kind of fusion Indian, Middle-Eastern, American, Caribbean style of food in a very relaxed setting (think on the level of Chipolte but a little more sophisticated/sit-down). They have pizza type things called Saflats made on Indian Naan bread, burgers, chicken and rice, etc. It's really totally unique and this is the first one open in the US (they are from Iceland of all places)I have never posted a straight up plug for anything that wasn't wedding-related but I loved this place so much I had to share :) If you love new experiences in food, you have to try it. Oh, and I have to mention the owner and staff were absolutely wonderful.

I am getting nothing out of this other than maybe helping a new restaurant do well so I can keep going there :)

Erin+Josh's Dubsdread Wedding

 Planning + Design: Bliss Weddings and Events),Venue: Dubsdread Country Club Ok, great decor, great venue, spectacularly fun/great couple but what brings a group of vendors together like custom made ninja shirts for all. Yes, upon arrival every vendor was issued their own, unique vendor ninja shirt with the faux tux graphics on the front and their "Ninja Name" on the back. Silly? Sure, but I can't tell you how much of a sense of community it brought to this wedding and beyond that, it was great fun!!!

Calling all Facebook Friends (or future facebook friends)

Ok, no, seriously this time, I am making a big push to get more socially connected. If you're not already a "friend" of mine, hit the facebook button on the blog and let's be friends. I will be posting recent shoots, news, and some personal stuff that will help you get to know me better.

Playing with HDR

These are some HDR images I played with. HDR is a process that allows for a much greater tonal range than otherwise see in digital photography. These represent my first attempts at this very tricky artform. They original un-modified images were taken in 2007 on a trip I took with my wife to Switzerland. Hope you enjoy! Back to weddings next time.
