~Spring Update~


Hey Everyone :)
Hope you guys had a great long weekend! I'm currently learning how to stream line all the web applications that SugarTree has so I can keep everyone up-to-date on the new and different projects and products that I'm working on. This is a crazy task all in it's self but I hope I'll get the hang of it sooooon! :)

So what HAVE I been up to this past winter??? Well, SugarTree started out the new year and has branched out (pun not intended ;) lol.......into Destination Weddings. I love traveling and photographing weddings, so why not combine the two? 3 weddings + 2 countries = An Ah-Mazing Expereince! Locations: Cuba and Dominican Republic

(The image above is Susan and Alex who were married January 20th, 2009 in Veradero, Cuba)

The first reaction I get from most folks is "WOW! A vacation while working!". I wish this was somewhat true. However, I would say there can be anywhere from 2-4 days of personal time. 4 if I am only shooting 1 wedding and 2 if I'm shooting 2. Most folks only see me on the day of the wedding. But what goes into the prepping is probably what takes more of the time than the actual shooting. I found that I was scouting for 1 day per wedding as each of these weddings this past winter were in 3 different locations. (This will probably continue as I'd like to find other areas and locations to shoot to ensure each couple get their own unique images.) There were also the meetings with the clients and the Trash The Dress shoots which took place the day after the weddings.

I will post images as soon as I'm finished editing them as I had 3 wonderful couples to work with :)

Stay tuned......
