LISA & JON

-This has quickly become one of my new favorite pictures!-

"You know most people hate their accountants Carlos..."
Really?
I found this to be quite interesting.
Why?
Because you see, Jon is my accountant
And he has become a good friend.
And I really like him.

-When I have a question he takes care of me immediately (and boy do I have questions)... I can be a pretty anxious guy. He even takes care of me when at times I pop into his office unexpectedly (sorry Jon, I can't help it!).
Many times he'll even come up to my studio (when I ask him to).
Not that I may be in the middle of a fashion shoot or anything like that...

I won't even mention that it was Jon who told me that "everyone hates their accountants"...

-while grinning-

I wouldn't want you all to hold it against him...

---------------------------------------

I loved meeting Jon's fiancee Lisa and her family on the day of the wedding. I especially loved it when I found out that they were big Manu Chao fans (which by the way, I went to his concert yesterday and have to say it was AMAZING...). The best part of this is that it was Lisa's mom who originally introduced them to Manu's music!!!
What a great day...everyone was extremely friendly.
Victor and I had a great time... we especially loved shooting the formals in front of that beautiful red wall!
Enjoy!

It's amazing how a wedding will always stop traffic!

Don't forget to watch the Slideshow! (You might want to turn the volume down a bit!)

Thanks again to my good friend Victor Affaro for being my second photographer... again!

THE TEEMANS...

I was really excited to photograph Hilary and Alex's wedding...
They are just cool down to earth people, people you can just hang out with quite easily after just meeting them...
I was truly inspired by the locations (W Hotel and Puck Building), Hilary's beauty and the emotive and happy guests. Everyone smiled or cried the whole time... I loved it!!!

When I was editing these pictures I really loved how Hilary always looked at Alex... It was very moving and I hadn't realized this when I was shooting the wedding... The power of pictures, what can I say?

Moms have been known to get excited....

Don't forget to watch the Slideshow!!!
Don't forget to lower your volume as well...
Enjoy!!!


I want to thank, as always my good friend Victor Affaro for shooting this wedding with me!

What?

Palenke Soultribe

You all might think that this entry is a plug for my cousin's band Palenke Soultribe...
And it is. I admit it.
But I love their music.
And I am excited to see them here in NYC for the first time live (July 11th). If anyone would like to join me, shoot me an e-mail.

-Ironically he is in another much more famous band (at least in Latin America)...
It's called La Pestilencia (it has played for 70,000 people in Rock al Parque in Colombia).
Obviously with a name like that it has to be a Hard Rock/Punk band.
From Punk Rock to Folk-Electronica...
Felipe, what's going on in your head?

Finally!!!

Last Thursday I finally recieved a new Canon 1D Mark III! It had been announced several months ago and the first shipment arrived stateside about two weeks ago... I had been on a waiting list for it for over a month but didn't make the cut. Like a little kid I had to have one.
Since it was hard to get I had to start making some calls to my contacts all over the country...;)
When I found one with a US Warranty I couldn't believe it!
But, I wasn't able to use it until Saturday when I worked a wedding as a guest shooter for my good friend Jason Groupp.
I'll post some pictures pretty soon, but I have to say that the photographic possibilities have just gone up exponentially!
-------------------------------

And the even better news is that I have a new redesigned website!!! I have been working on this for quite some time now...
go to cavaweddings and let me know what you think!!!!


These are exciting times indeed.
(tomorrow I head off to Atlanta, for what promises to be a very cool and interesting wedding!)
