Just had to post this one…
What a stunning couple!
Sneak peek from a fun engagement session with Villardia and Jermaine.
We started off at the Morikami Museum and Gardens which is a great place to shoot, but it would be so nice if some of these places would have extended hours at least once or twice a week!
We finished the session on the beach, but of course you’ll have to wait for the full blog post in order to see shots from that 🙂
Now you see that last photo? Same photo twice, one next to the other, right? Think again! It’s actually a reversed stroboscopic three-dimensional photo. Yes, a 3D photo.
In order to see the 3d move about 4 feet back from the monitor and focus your eyesight at a point near your face (some people call that “crossing your eyes”, though it’s just what happens naturally when you focus up close) you will see the two images above shift until a third forms in the middle. That one will appear to be a completely realistic 3D image. Once you “got it” feel free to move in a bit closer to enjoy more of the details of the image.
First time out after the system switch. Yup you read it here first. Gone is the Canon Gear, we’re Nikon shooters now. Doesn’t matter to the clients… both systems are amazing, we just switched because it made sense for us, the Nikon gear seems to fit better with my way of doing things 🙂
Had a great engagement session with Mari Ann and Harold in Miami. Before I say anything else I have to share one image:
Now I know I’m not supposed to toot my own horn or anything… but
… damn that photo is HOT!
Last shot of the night too… a Steve Jobs if you will… you know “… one last thing” – I even titled it on the spot in my head when I took it “Angels and Demons”
We finished the session in an INCREDIBLE apartment owned by a friend of the couple, which overlooks the city of Miami… here’s a shot from the window a few minutes before I started shooting them against the city lights.
More will follow in the full post.
Guys, what can I say… It was awesome being able to spend time with you guys. We really appreciate that you pretended that everything was going super-smoothly even though due to some “we’re new with this Nikon stuff” things were much much clunkier than they usually are! You were awesome. We hope you enjoy the photos and can’t wait to show you more and shoot your amazing wedding!
How to even begin to contain my enthusiasm? A great guy, a gorgeous lady with a sense of humor and enough “in on the guy geekyness” to let her play with the boys, a fantastic photographer hired to help make this a smashing success and three stunning locations. And that’s not even considering that this was our very first “live” engagement!
Thank you Jim, for entrusting us with this most special of moments. I sincerely hope to have exceeded your (but more importantly Krystin’s) expectations 🙂
The opening shot above was taken from an undisclosed location in one of the most dangerous areas of Miami (yes really) which however has the benefit of showcasing Biscayne bay’s fantastic’s Skyline.
The photos below were shot at Vizcaya
My favorite photo of the day:Â (Jim and Krystin have a large canvas of this in their home!)

After finishing up at Vizcaya we moved to the southernmost tip of South Miami Beach.

Krystin showing off her Mortal Kombat moves!!! Jim … totally paralyzed by fear 🙂
