Joe Latter Photographer / Blog http://joelatterphotographer.com/blog Documenting Life thru the Lens Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:55:37 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Destination Weddings:: Cancun http://joelatterphotographer.com/blog/?p=1900 http://joelatterphotographer.com/blog/?p=1900#comments Mon, 16 Aug 2010 23:48:52 +0000 joelatter http://joelatterphotographer.com/blog/?p=1900 One of the things I always try and accomplish when shooting a wedding is to relate the B&G with their environment. I figure their is good reason someone picks a particular location to get married. So what is so unique about Cancun? For me, it was the ocean and that crazy blue water. I had an adventerous and willing couple that allowed my to do what I do best. Kick Ass Photos!!!! Thanks you guys and congratulations.

Location: Le Meridien - Cancun, Mexico

Coordinator: Kevin Covey

It was actually Marisa’s client but I tagged along for some fun.

Wes & Traci are big time outdoorsmen and wanted to incorporate that into their engagement session.  We started out at Snow Valley up near Lake Arrowhead for some killer snowboard action.

If you follow any other photograher’s blogs (but why would you?), you’ll notice they tend to get a bit light during the summer. Why? Because we are too busy shooting all the time. I have a ton of great weddings, engagements, portraits, etc.. that I will eventually get to. But in the meantime here is a taste of whats to come.

But that’s what you can expect when shooting in LA and especially at a famous icon like The Beverly Hills Hotel. Lots of anticipation for me with this wedding. Beautiful bride, styling groom and a great location. I knew it would be killer with Michelle from Details Details coordinating the day.

Let’s check out some (alot) of my favorites.

Wish I had shot them. What!!!  That’s right, not mine. We’ve never really done a formal introduction but we have a new star at Joe Latter Photographer. Marisa Torres has been second shooting with me for over 4 years now and is now shooting her own weddings for the studio. Not only is she great behind the lens but she is also the genius behind our amazing albums designs. Great job Marisa!

Jeff & Monique were married at the Long Beach Museum of Art on April 17. Big thanks to Christine Walker for helping us out on the big day.

Update:  Check out the great note Monique sent in after the wedding.

Marisa,

Sorry for my delay…but I have to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for all your work and creative skills.  OUR PICTURES ARE GORGEOUS!  We saw them on the blog and it makes me want to do the wedding again because you really captured our joy and excitement. Thanks, Monique.

Although we all have the same subject matter (Weddings), our approach and final work are unique to our own style. I went to a screening for Elysium Productions the other night and was blown away bu there latest demo reel. Truely inspiring work and makes me glad to do what I do for a living. Have a look and if you are considering video for youe special day, I can’t recommend Julie & Alex enough.

They wanted their photos to reflect their east Coast roots so I said to myself  “Self, what reminds you of NYC?” Dirty alleys and city streets of course. Check out my favorites.
