After meeting Ron and Gabrielle for the first time, I just knew that I was going to love their wedding. It was laid-back, yet sophisticated, and elegantly simple. I also have to admit, that this is the first wedding where the ceremony reading was from a Massachusetts supreme court decision, and not 1 Corinthians! (For […]
Camp Ellis is the beach-front portion of my little adopted hometown of Saco. Only a couple of miles down the beach from the craziness of Old Orchard, it’s a quiet, almost time-forgotten gem.

Beautiful pictures – I cannot wait until the big event!
It was another perfect weekend in Maine, we have been so lucky this summer! Nikki and Joe were married in York Beach at the Star of the Sea Catholic Church. Their reception was held at Laudholm Farm in Wells, it was the first time I’d shot at Laudholm Farm and I can highly recommend it […]

About the peruvian dance, named “Alcatraz”, it´s a very popular dance in Peru and it has an Afro-Peruvian origin. It owed its name to a pelican feather dress that the woman wore strapped to her back at waist level, the man had to try to lit the longest feather on fire with a candle, but without losing the rhythm. The woman´s movements make almost impossible for man to achieve his purpose. By repeating the music, the roles were reversed. More recently, the feathers have been replaced by a cone of paper.
We did our best effort to dance like this people :). You can see real good dancers at:
