Creative Portrait Photography – Page 2 – Puerto Rico Wedding Photographer

SO after the fabulous Great Gatsby Photoshoot, Mary Kate and I decided to take a little time for ourselves.

This beautiful photo series was done at Maria’s a fabulous venue for Destination weddings in Rincon Puerto Rico. Mary Kate was the model for this photoshoot but was also the make up artist. She does incredible work for tv and film, check out some of her info here.

It was just starting to rain outside as we wrapped up the first shoot. The mix of the rain and wind along with the eerie effects of the infrared camera produced these pictures. Nothing better than pushing for more… even after a great photosession there is usually a little juice left to be squeezed. Often times some of the best pictures happen just before everyone is ready to quit. I’m happy we stuck around because the weather and the fantastic modeling made for exquisite photographs.

Infrared is great because sometimes it picks up on tones just below the surface of the skin, this is why in some of the images you can see veins.

My favorite image of the series, rain droplets falling on the surface of the pool and those piercing eyes and mysterious smile.

When Mary Gilmartin ( wwww.tastebudspr.com ), one of my favorite planners in Rincon asked me about doing a Great Gatsby inspired wedding photoshoot I jumped at the opportunity. I never pass up a chance to work with my buddies in the industry to come up with something creative. The location for the shoot was Marias a new spot on Maria’s Beach Behind Calypso. Its a great venue for a wedding, incredible housing accomodations, fabulous pool, plenty of lawn space for a garden cocktail hour and easy access to the beach. When I arrived that morning, Mary was stacking glasses to do a champagne pour with a big smile on her face. I went inside and met Mary Kate Gales ( http://www.mkgales.com ) our model and make-up artist for the day. Her look is stunning but what she can do with a powder compact and a brush is even more incredible, I’m looking forward to doing more work with her in the future. I wanted to capture some of the essence of the Great Gatsby, but I didn’t want to try and fake 1920’s New York, in 2013 Rincon, Puerto Rico. If the Great Gatsby had a destination wedding in Rincon, I think it would have looked something like this…
