Creative Engagement Photography – Double Exposure & Infrared Photography at the Lighthouse – Rincon, Puerto Rico

Creative Engagement Photography – Double Exposure & Infrared Photography at the Lighthouse – Rincon, Puerto Rico

Tamara and Jason met as correctional officers in the United States (Yes of course I had to ask her about Orange is the New Black!… and she told me that for the most part its pretty true to life), they were partnered together for self defense classes. We did this wonderful day before photoshoot at the Faro (lighthouse) here in Rincon. Their destination wedding was right down the beach from where we did this engagement style portrait session. I find that destination wedding photographers in puerto rico can sometimes get in a rut with coming up with creative portrait ideas since we are usually photographing on the beach. Using some creative photography tricks any place can become the perfect spot for portraits. Pre and Post photo sessions are great because there is extra time to spend focusing on making wonderful images, there also isn’t the pressure of a time line or other people around. During Tamara and Jason’s session I did some more creative photography; double exposures and I also used my infrared camera. Having the extra time and space as well as a couple who is up for making something beautiful is the best space to create amazing new pictures. I always highly highly recommend doing an additional portrait session as an add on to wedding photography. I tell my friends that most photographers will even do it at a discounted rate if they are already doing the photography for the wedding. Its always worth it and another chance to have fun in front of the camera… and if you doing a post wedding session it could be another opportunity to wear your dress!

When the local magazine in Rincon el Coqui of Rincon (www.elcoquiofrincon.com) contacted me for photographs of Ryan Wykoff for their April 2014 issue I jumped at the opportunity. Ryan is a Rincon local that literally makes a living flying on the ocean. Starting the first and only Kiteboarding school in Rincon, Ryan teaches others how to fly and shares the magic of the ocean with locals and tourists alike.  These are the images we created during our Sandy Beach photo-shoot.

Rincon Destination Beach Wedding – Christopher and Rachael

Rincon Destination Beach Wedding – Christopher and Rachael

Christopher and Rachael were married by the beach in Rincon, Puerto Rico. They took extra special care to make sure that everything was perfect, that the venue was well decorated and everything fit the mood for their tropical destination wedding. Both of their families were in attendance and had a wonderful time celebrating their wedding by the beach.

The venue for this wedding was Sunset Paradise Villas, its right on the water and one of my favorite places to do wedding photography in Rincon, Puerto Rico. The planner who made sure everything went smoothly was Mary Gilmartin of Classic Events.

Mary Kate – Creative Infrared Portrait Photography Rincon, Puerto Rico

 

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.

Great Gatsby Inspired Wedding in Rincon Puerto Rico

Great Gatsby Inspired Wedding in Rincon Puerto Rico

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…

Megan & Daryl – Great Friends and Family Traditions – Rincon, Puerto Rico Wedding Photographer

Megan and Daryl came to me for photography of their destination wedding here in Rincon, it was a wonderful family gathering with a delightful ceremony on the beach, a pig roast and Megans father even made some delicious southern fixings for the reception. I was also happy to hear the musical stylings of Hank Williams and other country music jams playing as their wedding songs from the stereo, and unusual thing to hear down here in Puerto Rico. I also loved their creative decorations, the beer holders made great gifts for friends and family. The couple was very open and realized on camera. My favorite Rincon weddings to photograph are the ones where genuine smiles come through and familial love and warm friendship are abundant. This crowd was great! 🙂
