So excited to have Laura & Joe's wedding featured in Weddings by The Ritz-Carlton magazine July-December 2011 issue. Their wedding, designed by Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming, was incredibly beautiful on the coast of Dana Point at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. Laura and Joe are both foodies and they wanted a dreamy beach wedding. Everything was perfect, right down to the sand dollars that wrapped the dinner menus, to the almond wedding cake with Bavarian chocolate and hazelnut crunch, sprinkled with brown sugar to resemble the beautiful sandy beaches. Simply magnificiet and we wouldn't expect anything less from Laura and Joe.

A big thank you to our dear friends, Christine Bentley and Heidi Morgan for second shooting this wedding with Bob. We love and adore you both. You all rocked this wedding!!! It couldn't have been more perfect!

We've always dreamed of having the cover of Rangefinder magazine one day. Well, never did we dream WE would be on the cover! It's really not fair, I say. Our Italian book company, GraphiStudio asked us to have our photo taken by the talented Michael Greenberg, along with a select group of very talented photographers. Of course we said okay, not knowing why. Well, if I would have known why, I may not have wanted Bob to be shrinkwrapped. Don't ask...... oh geez! Here's the cover and I'm so excited that we are part of it.

This was such an honor for us to be featured in Rangefinder Magazine in the big WPPI Wedding Issue, February 2011. It was incredible timing as we spoke at WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) this year at a Platform class that held 1,000 people. OMG... I was so nervous, I talked so fast that poor Bob didn't get a work in edgewise! I was trying to get 8 hours of material into 2 hours. I need to work on that. It was an amazing opportunity, one that Bob and I will be forever grateful. Thank you to everyone who came and heard us speak. You guys rock our world!!!

Our photo also graced the cover of the WPPI Show Guide. A huge thank you to George Varanakis, Arlene Evans, and Kate Volpe for giving us this honor. And a heartfelt thank you to Peter Kotsinadelis for writing such a wonderful article about us! Photographers, if you are not subscribed to this magazine, you're missing out.

To top things off, Canon used another one of Bob's photos (of Rebecca & Kenny) in a Rangefinder Ad. Thank you Robert Schall for all your kindnesses!!!

Humbled beyond belief...

La La Vazquez was photographed for the cover of Munaluchi Bridal, an exquisite bridal magazine. Albeit, the cover image is not ours, there is a 9 page spread in the magazine feauring her wedding to NBA star husband, Carmelo Anthony which was an absolute blast to photograph at Cipriani's on 42nd Street, in New York.

When the incredibe Jacqueline Nwobu, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of Munaluchi Bridal, contacted us to let us know the article had run in her magazine, we were stunned and thrilled. We can't thank Jacqueline enough for sending us a copy of the magazine to share with our friends and family!

Stunning doesn't even come close to describe how beautiful this wedding was.... oh la la! And Ed Libby Events did the most amazing job with the decor.... can we have another oh la la?!!!

I'm still really amazed and so proud of Bob that the iPad version of his Lights, Camera, Capture book has been so successful. It's featured on iTunes this week as new and noteworthy. It's also #1 in photography iPad apps in the US and 8 other countries. And today, it's #13 in all iPad Apps. OMG....really???? So exciting....!!! We just can't thank Barry Pruett, Sandy Smith, Courtney Allen and the entire Wiley team for believing in us. And Inkling, the developers, who created this iPad app...... you rock!!!

3 years ago, Bob photographed Amberly & Ed's wedding, (for another company he no longer is associated with or endorses), and we just found out it's finally being aired on VH1. Amberly, won the VH1 Bridal Bootcamp wedding of her dreams and Bob was the lucky guy who photographed her wedding. She worked so hard, I cried throughout the entire episode. Bring tissues if you watch this, you will need them. Or maybe I'm just a big wuss. She's such a sweetheart! I hope you get a chance to watch this!!! Amberly is such an inspiration to me to get back to the gym!!! Enjoy!!!
