Yoli & Octavio’s Beach Wedding

by Alex Rodriguez on January 25, 2008

I closed out the year photographing an amazing wedding on Ocean Drive in the heart of South Beach. Yoli & Octavio had an amazing ceremony surrounded by an intimate group of close friends and family. It was a stunning day and a beautiful sunset wedding on the beach. It was an awesome way to close out the year!

Tracy + Roger’s Wedding at Pierre’s Restaurant

by Alex Rodriguez on January 16, 2008

To help close out 2007 Ray invited me to an amazing destination wedding in the heart for the Florida Keys. I first meet Tracy & Roger while shooting their engagement session with the world famous T the Brit and super star Ray Santana. I knew this wedding was going to be awesome but it blew my mind! Tracy & Roger had a blast and could not have selected a better location than Pierre’s Restaurant on Islamorada, in the heart of the Florida Keys. One of the cool awesome benefits of being a wedding photographer is the opportunity to photograph destination weddings. As a destination wedding photographer I am able to travel to some of the coolest destinations in the world, already scheduled for this year I will be shooting in  Key West, New York, Uruguay, Las Vegas, Colombia, Tampa and Orlando.

Below are a couple of shots form the amazing day, enjoy!

Master Your Craft with Mike Colon

by Alex Rodriguez on January 6, 2008

Photography is an awesome business and I especially love wedding photography. I am a firm believer in learning from those who’s work inspires you. I was very blessed to have been able to spend a week last year in Newport Beach California with Mike Colon. I will never forget the first time I visited Mike’s website, I instantly connected with his images. I absolutely love his untouched handsfree approach. The simple elegance and less is more philosophy is evident across all his images.

If you are serious about taking your business to the next level I highly recommend you reach out to those who inspire you.

While I had to fly to California you have the chance to meet Mike in your own city. Mike and Bob Davis will be visiting 9 cities over the next couple of weeks sharing everything they know about wedding photography. They have a jammed packed program that covers everything from improving your photography skills to expanding your business skills.

Did I mention Mike is a marketing genius?

Mike Colon & Bob Davis 

I have never meet Bob Davis but from what I hear its going to be one awesome day with two industry leaders.

They kick things off right in my back yard on February 4th. If you are going to the Miami seminar be sure to drop me a line. For more information on the seminar and to check the cities and dates available  be sure to visit the Master Your Craft website.

Cheers! I am off to Tampa, a day late but still making it.

We had the most amazing time hanging out and getting to know them. I first meet Deise and her friend gilcélia during Becker’s invasion of Miami last year. We had an amazing time, lots of fun and most importantly we got some amazing images!
