Nadine and Naren..one of the best EVER!

I don't know where to start with this one...I mean this has got to be one of the best weddings I ever did and its definitely in the top 5.

What makes its the best? Two words...the people.

I mean Nadine has an incredible family and really cool dad and mom and the rest of people treat you like...well...family. This is also true for Nadine who had a "no worries" approach to the day...although she was adamant about getting her good champagne :-) and Naren is just a good fella.

Everything in the wedding flowed and I was so glad we were able to run away to take some pics before the sun said bye-bye.

Did I also mention that Nadine and Naren are also crazy? LOL. They had a spontaneously creative attitude and they were just being themselves, which made it easier for me to be me and thats when I'm at my best. Yup...they rock.

I had a hard time choosing a few pics without actually giving away too much but here are a few...again this is for the TW crew because Nadine is not going to see this till later on.

Enjoy!

Bride and groom waiting in two different rooms, Nadine was nervous before Naren got there...but when he did he grabbed the nervousness baton and ran.

This pic looks pretty normal...till you notice what Nadine is doing LOL! The bite victim is her brother Nare (Hope I spelt that right)

You know me and the feet, those toe rings were put on during the ceremony.

I'm so glad that they didn't go crazy with the cake, I didn't take couple portraits as yet and didnt want anyones nice wedding attire to be "icened" although there was slight cake to face action.

Ahhhhh...lovin the portraits, thank goodness for the 10 minutes of remaining sun.

The tassa rolled and frenetic dancing ensued...kewl frenetic dancing

In with the Best!

In a very short time, through tons of reading and even more tons of practice and some equipment purchases, I've blazed and INCREDIBLE path of development in photography.

Moving from a 3 mega pixel no optical zoom canon A300 to a 10.2 mega pixel Nikon D200 and soon to unto other upgrades, I've got my eye on...well...you'll see. Digital has truly leveled the playing field.
I mean, I've only been at this seriously for a year and a half now (Although I studied photography school, I didn't even get a camera till two years after I left school) , I did my first wedding in February of last year And now I've been accepted to the WPJA,.

One of my favorite images from the Tarin and Lorenzo wedding gallery @ flowfoto.com

For all those who don't know what the WPJA is, its the Wedding Photojournalist Association, an exclusive global organization of highly skilled and creative wedding photographers who do wedding photo documentary. Now I'm in their ranks.

Now my work will be listed, displayed and compete with the likes of Carlo Carletti, Hum Kim and not to mention Ben Chrisman who is my current standard and one of the top ten wedding photojournalist in the world according to the WPJA.

I'm the third in the Caribbean to be accepted and the first from Trinidad and Tobago.

I would like to thank my wife for her support, Jason Reid for his encouragement and everyone who chipped in along the way.

Lastly...THIS ROCKS!!!
