Bryan Morris – Aruba’s Premier Wedding Photographer

Summer 2006 was when Eran was determined to make Kristen his wife.

Kristen went along with his wish!

They took the plunge…..

…. sealed it with a kiss!

and started on their journey of life together, hand in hand!

Out of this union came this little princess Julianna…

I was contacted by mommy a few weeks before their arrival and was informed that they were coming to Aruba and they wanted me to take a few pictures of their little bundle of joy at the beach of the Westin Aruba Resort on Palm Beach. What a bundle of joy she is, a sweet little girl loved by Mommy and Daddy. She’s no doubt Daddy’s little girl. Julianna is a little ham that loves the ocean, if you’re distracted for 1 second too long she’s no longer by your side but heading for the ocean.

Here she is showing Daddy some affection!

I’m taking the world by storm, join me on the slide!

Swoosh…..here we go!

I love mommy too!

Am I not the cutest little thing ever?

I might just be a little gymnast, I just love to swing as well in the playground at the Aruba Westin Resort on the Palm Beach in Aruba

This white sand fascinates me so, I wish I can take some home.

This is the little diva outfit that I wore to the beach to play in the sand.

And ofcourse, what do we do when were through playing in the sand, wash ourself off, right?

May God bless her and keep her.

Blessings,

I’m blessed to be able to do what I do, therefore it does not feel like work. However work is not all, family has precedence.

I woke up this morning early with my family to go and climb the “Hooiberg”. This was a request that I’ve had for some time already and I’ve promised the kids that during the summer vacation I would take them. Here are a few of the images of our retreat.

A self family portrait, easy. Just put the camera on timer and go for it a few times until you get it.

Shayenne and the kids!

Can’t stop me now, should’ve done it whilst you had the chance!

Bryan and the kids

Shaydee and Abishah!

This is my favorite image of the day!

Making my way down to sea level.

I would like to start off by saying, Happy New Year. May this year be the best one yet. Even though you as the world over might be seeking financial prosperity this year, I’ll be remiss to only wish you financial blessings this year. I’ve learned over the years that money is very important; however money is not the answer. I’ve seen many folk with money still lacking joy and peace. Therefore my wish for you this year is that you prosper financially, physically, intellectually, spiritually, and in every other area of your life.

Last year, I’ve started out about, insanity. I was determined to do things differently in order to expect different results. I’ve had a few areas of my life that I was going to tackle and one of them was surely my weight. I must say that I’ve succeeded in this area greatly and I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight. I’m now down to a size 33 waist from a tight/uncomfortable 42 heading to 44. I’m still not where I want to be but I’ve made strides into the right direction and I certainly will not give up now.

My thought for this year is to not give up. You may have been having a dream for some years and you still don’t see it come to fruition. I want you to examine yourself and see if you’ve done all that there is to do to accomplish this dream. This thought dawned on me after following the American presidential campaign these last couple of months.

I don’t know much personally about the now President Barack Obama, I’m still to read his books. I must say though I’ve become a fan of his. My admiration is not in accordance with his political objective but more so with his determination. I can imagine the numerous obstacles, skeptics, not to mention his greatest in a me (Inner voice) that he’s had to overcome before getting to where he is today. It shows me that hard work, determination and will power will always make your dream come true. President Obama could’ve been a cop out like most of us are when we face opposition but he chose to press on and today he’s arrived, despite the obstacles, despite what skeptics said, despite what his inner voice told him time and time again.

I’ve studied his name a little and it means “a gleam” as in a gleam of light in darkness. This is the exact impact his story has had on my own life. It has given me hope in a dark season. The dark season that I’m referring to is certainly not the economy as I don’t view President Obama to be my source. The dark season that I’m alluding to is the many plans and ideas that I’ve been working on for years and I still don’t see them coming to materialization. That would discourage anyone and cause them to give in to the many obstacles that come up against them. I must admit, I’m not a weak person, so I haven’t given up, I however wasn’t pressing on with the necessary clout to bring things to pass. His story was a real boost to me; it jolted me back into position to pursue my goals with the same tenacity that I once had.

My message to you this year is to not give up. Winner’s never quit, quitters never win. Just keep that ambition high amidst the many obstacles, cynics, skeptics and your biggest enemy in a me. Start to relive a purposeful life and revitalize all those dreams and ambitions you once had.

Blessings,

Nazareth, launched a song by the name of the title in 1983 but this post has nothing to do with the search of a loved one.

At the beginning of this very year I’ve had a small but potent post questioning the current direction of your life and the resolutions for the new year ahead of us. hence the question………

Where are you now?

Did you make the necessary changes to reposition yourself to success. Whether it’s financially, physically, academically, spiritually, in your relationships or in any other arena.

Did you start out with a resolution to make a change and you’ve still gone back to your comfort zone? therefore you’re back to going around in circles.

The quote I’ve used on January, still stands. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

I’m here to inform you that it’s not all lost “The greatest thing in the world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving.” says Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Sit back, analyze where you want to go, where you are and if you’re on the right track. If you are on track focus on how to get there even faster, if there’s a way. If you’re off course, reposition yourself and move back into the intended direction.

Remember insanity is continuing in the direction you’re heading and still expecting a change.

I have a goal for mid 2009 and I have to start loosing weight, this was one of my resolutions for 2008 so I get up every morning or should I say almost every morning at 4:45 AM and leave home at 5:00 AM and run/speed walk about 8 miles/12+ KM. I’ve changed my eating regimen quite a bit, I’ve since lost 25+ pounds. Good but not the way I want so I’ll tighten up on my eating and add the gym to my walk every day and then get me where I want to get and ready for my goal for 2009.

Another resolution of mine was to post more often on the blog which I’ve got myself caught up these last few weeks and was a very bad blogger, well not really as I’ve been putting stuff aside to blog, so you’ll be flooded with stuff for a bit.

Where are you now? Check yourself!

Blessings,

I want to wish you all a happy valentine’s day today and may you express your love to your loved ones more than ever today.

Valentine’s day is not about having a man or a woman (In the sexual sense) in your life. So if you don’t have that special person (That society deems special), don’t sweat it. You definitely have special people in your life. Your mom or dad, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, son or daughter so celebrate this day with them.

This day is about love it’s not only about being romantic, so you can definitely love without being romantic and still have a great time. No need to separate yourself from the crowd today, join in like everyone else because I’m sure that you’re loved by at least one person.

Enjoy the day,

I want to chase away

any clouds you’ll ever have,

and let you know

that no matter what -

our being together is the most important thing

I’ll ever have in this life.

When it comes to sharing love,

today and every tomorrow,

you’re the one

that will always shine through.

And when it comes to

the person I always want to be with…..

you know that there’s

nobody but YOU!

Laine Parsons

This poem is dedicated to my wife, I wanted just this part to go public as whatever will follow might not be appropriate for all audiences.

I love you and I’m very proud of you, may God continue to bless you.

Your hubby,

Today is the National Wear Red Day. By wearing red and making a donation, you’ll help the American Heart Association support ongoing research and education about women and heart disease. As always, another way to join the celebration is to Shop Go Red by selecting Go Red apparel, accessories and more, available from supporting sponsors! Too few people realize that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women (and men), but the good news is heart disease can often be prevented. Spreading the Go Red For Women message “Love Your Heart” raises awareness of heart disease and empowers women to reduce their risk. This is a great opportunity to share the good news with all your friends and families. Become a Go Red advocate today and make your peers aware of different heart risks. The goal of this organization is to cause a 25% reduction in coronary heart disease and stroke by 2010, which is the just 2 years away. So help me help them spread the word. For more information just click on the Go Red For Women Logo and it would direct you to their website.

Some studs would read this and figure that Bryan is going soft, but that’s absolutely not the case. Brides are my clients and I want them to live long and healthy lives.

Blessings,

I want you to repeat after me at the count of three. 1,2,3….. LIFE IS NOT FAIR.

On our short pilgrimage through life it’s one thing I want you to always remember: Life is not fair.

Many times we get this self pity Charlie Brown attitude, ”Why is everybody always picking on me?”
Life is not setup in such a way for you to gracefully waltz through it. It has its mountain tops, it has its valleys and it has its plains. Your mountain top experiences are merely just breaks that you would get from the valleys and the plains.

The next time you find yourself in a tough situation, how would you approach it? Would you stand there and complain? Or would you look at it like it’s an opportunity for growth? I would certainly like to advise you to look at it as an opportunity for growth because, life is not fair.

Take your eyes off of the people around that seem to be moving forward and focus on your own growth.
They’ve not gotten to where they are because they’re exempt from “growing pains” they’ve had their fair share, and believe me they are still dealing with some of it. It would never stop.

Life was not designed to be without turbulence. Every one has it. You might say, If I could only have that million dollars, I’ll be fine. Don’t look too far, just read the tabloids, how many with lots of money is just wasting their lives away. Mainly because they have some underlying problem. (Their own growing pain)

Another might say, if I could only marry that guy I would be fine. You might or might not be happy but the husband that you moved heaven and earth to have is the same person punching the daylights out of you.

And so I can go on and on.

Success is not money or a big house, for it might very well be a big house and not a home. Success is being able to overcome this obstacle course called life. Every challenge you overcome, you mature a little, but don’t celebrate for too long be it known there is another challenge somewhere close up ahead. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a huge challenge as they come in all sizes but they do come.

Life is not fair……however,

Be Blessed,

Bryan Morris
