Not sure? OK here’s a hint:
(My apologies for the quality of these photos, I just brought my point and shoot.)

Still not sure? OK here’s another hint:

We went to Pisa and propped up the leaning tower! Jenny did real good

Shannah & Matt, Siena, Italy

So if you have been wondering why the heck I have been spending so much time in Italy, this is it! My first wedding (and the next wedding I will shoot here in about a week) took place at the amazing Castello di Modanella, just on the outer tip of Siena, located in the [...]

Giuseppi and Anna

WOW… I don’t even know what to say about our past week here in Italy! We will just say that I will not be able to post enough blog entries to justify how much our lives have been enriched in some of our recent experiences.
The highlight of our trip so far, aside from the [...]

Sorrento

Hey Peeps,
Just stopped into an internet cafe to touch up on some workstuffs. Sorrento is where my grandfather is from. My Nona (aka Noni) is from Napoli, which is known for pickpockets so given that I have tons of expensive equipment on me, we decided to set up camp in Sorrento for now [...]

Parte Quattro, Vive Italia!

Every day, in our non-touristy happenings, Jenny and I run across things that money can’t buy. The first was our Italian Dinner with Federica and her famiglia. Then we found ourselves in a tiny chapel with a bunch of old Italians in a small town. Every morning on my jog up into [...]

Italia Parte Tre

What a(nother) day! Jenny and I went to another small town called Settignona (Set in Yona), near Firenze. We like doing the touristy stuff, but man, you just can’t buy some of the experiences we’ve had off the beaten path.
Today we found ourselves just walking up this random street. We just love [...]

Mia Famiglia Italiana

–REPOST! I decided to post this again. Funny, this is a blog entry that I posted on May 14, 2007, almost exactly a year ago. When I posted it, I had no idea that I’d get an opportunity to come out here. So needless to say this is a really special trip. [...]

Italia, Parte Due

Jenny and I decided to spend some more time in Firenze today and it was awesome! We slept in a bit because we were up so late last night, but I started it with another awesome jog up to Fioseli and back, and Palma, the Dog and Jenny were both out on the patio [...]

Va bene en Italia, parte uno!

That’s me, trying to speak Italian. I’m sure I messed that up. We’re here in Italy! We have lots of time for fun before I start shooting weddings out here! It’s been great!
Anyway, Jenny and I have been getting into our groove here in Firenze, it’s only our 2nd full day [...]

ARRIVADERCI!!!! (Happy Mothers Day!)

Hi Peeps,
I’m at JFK right now on a long layover, waiting for our flight to Rome. It’s splurge day so I have been enjoying it while traveling.
Our first leg of the trip was interesting. I was seated in the middle seat. Jenny at the Window and there was a Cockatiel named Tropo [...]

Monica & John, AZ Rehearsal Dinner

Well this was an interesting week. Last week I was in AZ for about 4 days shooting a wedding and doing some work at the studio, and other stuff. While I was there, wedding coordinator, Victoria Canada called to see if I could shoot a Rehearsal Dinner on that Friday.
Hmmm… Well that [...]

Frances and Steve, Denver Engagement and AMERICAN CULTURE by Mark

So remember last week when I went to AZ, photographed two engagement sessions and a wedding? Well it was not over! I caught a 6 AM flight back to Denver and within hours of touching down, I was in the middle of yet another engagement shoot, this time in Denver. I have [...]

Raeann and Jim, WIGWAM Resort, Litchfield Park, AZ

The main event last week in Scottsdale was the wedding of Jim and Raeann at the WIGWAM Resort, which I have never photographed at until now. It’s a very cool place!
But first, meet the dashing couple. Jim couldn’t keep his hands off of Raeann

The Wigwam is somewhat a historical site in AZ. [...]

Mindy and Mork, Scottsdale AZ

Just kidding. As much as I wish his name was Mork, it’s actually Kyle. And they are both really great peeps!
Unfortunately I am already reserved for the date of their La Jolla wedding, but my friend Jim Kennedy is giving them the VIP treatment locally. I was happy to hear that they [...]

Chris and Amanda

Last week was super busy, but thankfully I was doing what I love doing. And it was like a switch: Wedding Season: ON
I was in AZ working with my desert couples. It all started at the Phoenician, an AMAZING hotel resort in Scottsdale. My first visit there, I had the best mojito [...]

What’s up buuuuuuddy? (and “Have a nice day”)

Hi Peeps!
Disclaimer: don’t get the wrong idea about me with this post. I’m not some sort of grouch. I am just in touch with my feelings and especially the feeling of irritation.
My sisters laugh at me because I have so many weird pet peeves. Here are a couple that [...]

Salutations from Scottsdale!!! (potpurri post)

Tempe, actually! I’m catching up on email before I head to crash out. I’m here in AZ to shoot a wedding on Sat at the WIGWAM resort. I can’t wait, I have never photographed at the Wigwam.
Today was great, too. I photographed some engagement photos, too which I will post tomorrow. [...]
