A break in Tortola - Personal

After a very long and full year shooting weddings and portraits in 2010, we were happy to take a much-deserved break in Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. We spent 5 lovely days at the Long Bay Beach Resort with perfect sun, ocean breezes...and no phone calls or e-mails. Here are some shots from our trip.







Smuggler's Cove: The ocean water is like a swimming pool here, calm and crystal clear.











You never know who you will come across on the beach in Tortola :)



We spent one afternoon climbing some rocks to take pictures of the surfers at Josias Beach.








One evening we decided to have our own portrait session in the beautiful light, during sunset.






Hiking to the peak of Sage Mountain at Sage National Park.




















The following are our snorkeling pictures, taken with a good ol' throwaway underwater camera. I like the "imperfect", retro quality of these.






Back to work! Here's to a great 2011!

Suzy and Wade - Engagement

This is Suzy and Wade. they are getting married this August, in Iowa, where Suzy is from. We did Suzy and Wade's session by the Arch, the riverfront and by Laclede's Landing. Wade was actually in Leah and Eric's Wedding that we had at the end of November as well. Even though it was cold, we had fun with these guys. They were great troopers and we got some great shots.





















The Skybox is where Suzy and Wade had their first date :)
