Bella Boda en el Doral: Fotografia de Bodas por Jorge R Gonzalez

Bella Boda en el Doral: Fotografia de Bodas por Jorge R Gonzalez

     Tuve el gran placer de tomarle las fotos de su Boda a una preciosa novia el mes pasado en el area de Miami conocida como el Doral. Ambos el novio y la novia vinieron desde Raleigh North Carolina para compartir este bello evento en sus vidas con sus familiares y amigos.

     La bella novia se preparo en  el salon de belleza Rose ubicado en el area de Biscayne y la 7o calle. El estilista Jhon Amaya hizo una obra de arte en el maquillaje de la novia. Pero claro cuando la muchacha es bella en si misma no es necesario tanto trabajo. La ceremonia fue hecha en la iglesia catolica Our Lady of Guadalupe y por ultimo la recepcion en el  Killian Palms Country Club.

     Espero que disfruten las imagenes y si tuvieran alguna pregunta por favor dejar un comentario o tambien pueden comunicarse por telefono: 305-498-2646

Past Wedding Photography: Reviewing My Wedding Work Part 1

Past Wedding Photography: Reviewing My Wedding Work

Here I’m in the middle of this year 2018 looking at my past wedding photography work. My story telling with images. Every wedding is a story. Is more than a ceremony, more than a party, is two persons that love each other coming together and bringing their individual story and turning it into one. A fresh start for some, a do it again for others but always the story is there. The family comes and shares their union while bringing their perspective on these two lives and their stories. And in the middle of it all I find myself recording for the future the story in front of my camera lens.

It is a simple thing to press the button of a camera, heck you can train a monkey to do it! But it takes a trained experience photographer to know when to press it to be able to capture the story that is in front of him. Most inexperience wedding photographers these days have a habit of pressing and pressing that button until the camera turns into a semiautomatic tool in their hands. Shooting as much as they can hopping to capture a moment, afraid they will miss something.

The word that is key is “afraid”, lack of experience makes you afraid if you strive to tell a story.

In the past when photographing a wedding with film there was a limit. You only had a certain amount of images that a roll could hold so you had to be more precise, more attentive to the right moment. There was no memory card on your camera holding a possibility of thousands of images. Precise and observant of the story in front of you, and not afraid to wait for the right moment.

 

Past Wedding Photography Moments:

The image below of a first look between groom and bride at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida.  Taking a direction from a class that Joe Buissink “the Ninja” I position the groom facing away from the bride coming down the stairs. The only thing he could see was the expressions of amazement from his Dad, Brother and Uncles as they witness the beautiful bride approaching. I’m very happy with the result of this sequence and always mention it to future couples as an idea for their wedding photography.

The result is the pure showing of expression as he finally sees her in her most glorious day! And her reaction to his amazement says it all as you can see below!

I truly feel that in the times we live in where there is more familiarity between the couples, there has to be at least one moment for them that is a surprise. That is why I try to put on the table as I discuss the wedding timeline with the couple the “first look”. Below is another sequence from a wedding in Islamorada.

wedding photography first look

On the above sequence the groom had actually helped the bride choose her dress! But there was still a certain amount of excitement when he saw her for the first time with the make up, hair and dress all put together on their special day.

Below is the getting ready part of the story which has become very popular with brides. It doesn’t take much as far area but it can be emotional if allowed too. Here the bride receives a hug from her sister while I act like a fly on the wall and just allow the ladies to do their thing. No posing is my goal, just tell the story has it evolves. Photography is more to me about capturing an event and not so much about creating an event. I’m not painting, I’m reporting what happened.

Once again letting the image come together while I just frame and compose the action.  Or sometimes just time staying still has the bride reflects on her day.

Formal portraits can be challenging because of both time constrain and getting groups together. This is where I usually take a more directorial approach and work on the elements of the image as far as posing. Going from the fly on the wall to the director is essential to be successful in wedding photography.

Family Portraits: Summer Mini Sessions

children photography kids portraits family photography fotografia de familias family photography portraits of families family professional photography in miami pinecrest homestead hialeah coral gables

From a recent family mini session in a beautiful pinecrest area park. This little boy was all smiles because behind the photographer there was a professional child wrangler 😉 Actually it was his aunt making all the funny faces and the gestures that got him to smile. We had a wonderful time going around the park and capturing his beautiful smile. The boots are an extra bonus picture for the family…

Right now we are coming into the perfect weather here in South Florida for family photography in the late afternoons. The temperature will began to drop as we come closer to the end of summer. The sun will be setting sonner giving us a beautiful light to capture these images that will become family treasures in the years to come after the kids are all grown up and have left the nest. Give me a call and schedule a mini photography session. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Jorge

Fotografía de Quinces en el Deering Estate al Sur de Miami

quinceañera fotos fotografía miami homestead photography

 

Un pequeño ejemplo de Fotos de la Sesión de Quinceañera tomada hoy Sábado en el Deering Estate que se encuentra al sur de Miami. La bella muchacha se comportó como una excelente modelo soportando un intenso calor. A pesar de la amenaza de lluvia tuvimos el tiempo necesario para terminar la sesión de fotos sin que una sola gota de agua nos cayera encima. Fue cuando en camino a mi casa que una fuerte tormenta vino a caer. Usamos el típico vestido de quinceañera y otros cambios de estilo incluyendo un set estilo estudiante de universidad y otro estilo basado en la moda de los años 20 de los Estados Unidos como se dice “Roaring Twenties” .  Fuimos acompañados por los abuelos y amigas de la bella quinceañera en la sesión de fotos.

A Friend of Many Years: Environmental Portraiture

Had the wonderful opportunity to capture a few images of a dear friend this past saturday afternoon. Our relationship spans close to 20 years. He is a guitar player extraordinaire and also a gifted singer. The original reason for the portrait session was to do a portrait of him and his wife for their 65 wedding anniversary with most of those years having been lived in this house. While taking a small break for wardrobe change I grabbed the opportunity to sit him down and ask him to just play a few cords while I took a few shots. This is one of them, I will be posting a few more later. Hope you enjoy…

A Mississippi Summer Wedding

Traditional Southern Apostolic Pentecostal Wedding

A Beautiful Mississippi Wedding. More details to follow, for now I hope you enjoy the images. We had wonderful time in this beautiful traditional southern wedding at Heritage Family Church in Brookhaven Mississippi. The stressful job of a wedding photographer only becomes worse when it happens to be your own son’s wedding. Usually most weddings feature lots of getting ready images of the bride but hey he is my son so guess who was the star on this one 😉

Jezali Hair and Make-up at work

Alian Canales [Ali] the director of Jezali Hair and Make-up artist group and I got together recently to collaborate on a photo shoot. We had the goal of seen how we worked together without the pressure of a meeting a time schedule or having an actual client.   It was a fun and rewarding shoot since not only did I see the great way that she works with the model  but also I was able to experiment a bit with lights and poses. The result of the few hours of work resulted in a great set of images for both her, the model and me. If you are interested in obtaining information on the services she provides of hair and make-up you can use the contact information below.
