“There is no doubt that you are the BEST photographer ever…Please come back to Florida to visit. We’d love to have you anytime.

I just can’t believe how well you captured that magical weekend. You were able to give Allison and David the best memories.

She looks so beautiful.”

Some of the best moments at weddings are the unexpected. We’ve never had an event quite like the escape for the Hogmanay Torch Light Procession by Jenn & Asef at their destination wedding in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The couple had made their way to the reception at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh and just sat down for dinner when the annual torch light procession with thousands of Scotsmen and women lined the streets of Edinburgh. The procession marks the inception of the city’s New Year’s festivities each year.

A trail of lights seemed miles long as it meandered through the narrow streets and Gothic architecture of the city as Jenn & Asef told me of their plans to sneak outside during dinner and join in the procession.

After their guests were seated, Jenn & Asef ran outside the hotel and negotiated their way through crowd control officers (who felt guilty telling the newlyweds no) and stood front and center in the procession. Several locals snapped photos of them and congratulated the couple on their wedding. Word spread to the Edinburgh Scottsman newspaper who later interviewed couple on their reception time getaway.

This quick escape alarmed the wedding planner causing a small search team to search the hotel grounds for the bride before finding her in the street with her new husband carrying a torch.

It was great to be a part of. Hands down, one of the best unexpected events we’ve ever photographed.

Melissa & Nathan are getting married next year at Gorge Crest Vineyards in Hood River, OR. We spent some time at the Rhododendron Garden and Reed College for their engagement session before heading to dinner at Yoko’s for sushi. It was a great way  to get to know each other. More adventures to come with this couple!

We love our wedding pictures! Thank you so much. You guys were very professional and did an amazing job despite the chaos and the not so optimal lighting at the church. Not to mention you showed up way earlier than you really had to. We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all that you did for us.

My recent trip to Panama was remarkable. It’s not often you get the rock star treatment from your clients, but that’s exactly what the Guardia family did for me. I can’t be thankful enough. They called their connections and arranged for me to stay with Los Cuatros Tulipanes in an incredible flat near the Presidential Palace and treated me to a day at their spa, Atla Vita. Not to mention arranging for drivers to chauffeur me around to various locations around the city and treating me to an amazing dinner at Ego.

The most special moment for me was the drive back to the airport with the couple. We talked about the success of the wedding and the incredible reception. It was a good time to bond after the craziness of planning for the big day. And just before I got out of the car they handed me this envelope with one final gift. It’s a wedding I’ll never forget and a couple I’ll remain in contact with for a very long time.

Thanks Mariah & Tommy
