Bryan Morris – Aruba’s Premier Wedding Photographer

 This is the baby of the house, Ishaq!

This is actually an awesome shot by Shayenne who doesn’t feel photography. She’ll do quite good if she tell herself she can do it.

Chantal & Frantz celebrates life. Why life? Life has dealt them so much good that they have no other choice but to celebrate. They’ve purposed in their minds not to be distracted by all the negativity going on worldwide. That is already a reason to celebrate, besides they are also celebrating a combined weightloss of 110 pounds and if you think that they’re done celebrating well guess what? You’re wrong, for they are also celebrating their 3rd wedding anniversary.

Congratulations on all your accomplishments, you are  an inspiration and I’ve had a great time with you.

Chantal & Frantz having a romantic stroll on one of Aruba’s secluded beaches.

Expressing our feelings can be a challenge to us men at times but this was not the case for Frantz he was clear on where he stand.

Having fun on the beach in Aruba.

Aruba is for lovers and lovers surely love Aruba.

I call this one survivor!

Expressing his love to his wife has become second nature to Frantz, I really admire this couple.

This is the famous Aruba Tree, it’s commonly called “Divi Divi Tree” but it’s not it’s a Fofoti.

Romantic Sunset……

This is long overdue, I’ve actually taken these a few months ago. I was debating if I should put them online or not. I’ve decided to bite the bullet.  I present to you Shaydee……..

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of shooting family portraits of Jacki Dion and her family.

I’ve got to our appointed location and found them all there. Upon arrival I knew they were the family that I’ve had to photograph. We’ve never met before, we’ve only communicated by email so they were curiously looking in my direction wondering if I’m the photographer. The great give away was when I took my camera bag out of the car, then the expression of relief on their countenance was obvious. No more frowned eyebrows. They’ve been wondering for a while already, Is it him or not?

I’ve walked up to them and introduced myself to everyone in the party individually and we started with the shoot. These guys were the best, they were so easy going and up to anything. I’ve really had a blast with them and the two little ones are so adorable.

Here you have one complete family portrait.

 Here you have Jacki, her husband, Rich (Tell it like it is, he’s indeed rich to have such a great family). Their daughter Brianna and Sons, Lil Mike and Jason.

 This is Jacki’s parents, Linda & Ken.

 These are my future clients whenever Big Mike decides to pop the question. (Mike, what are you waiting on) I just know that they have to get married in Aruba and I’m hoping to be the photographer.

 Another family portrait………

 Brianna and her two little brothers, Lil Mike and Jason.

I just love this image. They were not asked to pose like this. I was taking another shot and turned around and found them like two lovebirds in this position. All I did was asked them to stay there and I shot it. That’s was so natural. Don’t they make a beautiful couple?

 Three generations: Grammy Linda, Momma Jacki and Brianna

Another traditional family shot. 

This shot caused tears to flow as this was a recreation of another shot…..It was awesome to experience.

If I’m ever to give a prize for my #1 blog stalker, it would be to Janyne.

I was contacted by Janyne since November 2007 enquiring about packages to shoot her wedding July 2009. After sending her the packages, she didn’t vacillate to sign the contracts and return them to me to lock in the date.

I’ve since ever so often hear from Janyne, she either sends me a message or leave a comment on the blog.

If I’m not mistaken, it was early January that she decided that on her vacation in July this year she would want me to do a session with her and Mike.

It was an honor to shoot engagement portraits for Janyne and Mike around their favorite island Aruba. Mike is the coolest cat. Normally the guys just have enough after a couple of shots because it’s not the “macho” thing to do. I must say that Mike was a great sport, he played the whole game all the way into overtime without complaining once.

I’m a big softy and I open up very quick to people, I consider Janyne a friend even before meeting her and now that I’ve met her and Mike I must say that they are my new true friends.

Mike and Janyne, I can’t wait for next year to be part of your special day.

So now I present you Janyne aka Blogstalker# 1 and Mike aka The Young Stud……..

I usually stare clear from previously shot portraits but Janyne really wanted this shot so I obliged.

I’m often asked by brides if I could convert a few images in B&W and I always respond positively. There are however so many looks to B& W.

Last week shooting a few portraits of my wife in some crazy lighting I’ve decided that these would be great to transform to B&W to portray a few of the different ways I could go.

After dinner we walked out on the hotel strip. With camera still in hand I decided to shoot a couple portraits of Shayenne. The light was even crazier than in the restaurant. I’ve then decided that these would be great to transform to B&W to portray a few different possibilities with B&W.

I just like to push myself to be creative and come up with something cool. This is the way you learn. You have to practice in real life scenarios so when you get yourself in a situation like this you would know how to handle it. As a photographer you should be able to do the job under any circumstance, providing you have the right tools.

I just love shooting with available light, I use flash whenever it’s a real must or I want a different look.

Here are a couple of shots that were created under crazy light and transformed to B&W, different shades of black & white. Enjoy.

Blessings,

Ring, ring…..

“Hello, this is Bryan Morris how may I help you?”

“Hi Mr. Morris…I have a guest here that will like some family portraits taken on the beach later today.

Are you available?”

This is the way I was connected with Family Rolo. Mr & Mrs Rolo have the cutest kids. Upon meeting them at the Aruba Westin Resort one of Starwood Hotels on Palm Beach, Aruba I could see they were very laid back. The day was a bit cloudy but I’ve asured Mrs Rolo that even though she preferred sunset that I would still work around the dark skies and create the best family portraits that I could amidst the circumstances.

Family Rolo consist of Mom (Ann) and Dad (Lou) and two beautiful daughters, Lucia and Antonia.

Lucia and Antonia are two little models. Don’t be surprised within a couple of years you see them on the runway. Mom informed me that Lucia used to model as a baby. She still has it in her as she strikes her pose.

It was an absolute pleasure for me to work with you.

Following is a few images of the shoot.

The pleasure was all mine to do a family portrait session with family Mendoza from Pa. while they were on vacation here in Aruba.

Robert & Debbie Mendoza have a beautiful family consisting of three beautiful girls (Rachel, Rebekah and Christiana) and one cute baby boy (John Peter)

What a great family, very easy going down to earth. What struck me with this family is that every single one except to Dad have biblical names. Did I say they were a great family????? God bless them!

They’ve opted to do this shoot a few hours before leaving the island of Aruba at the Renaissance Resort.

Besides the famous Renaissance Island the resort also has a little beach at the beach towers. I’ve added quite a few of the images of this shoot as it was pretty difficult to choose just a few so I’ve decided to post quite a bit as I haven’t posted any images so I’ve decided to treat you with a little extra. So no further a dew, for your eyes only, I present you the Mendoza’s.

….AKA Baby Zelica was born on June 23, 2007 to my wonderful friends, Curtis Challenger and Yline Kelly. It’s a total blessing to have them in my life. I’m so elated to see how Curtis has metamorphosed  into a dad. The transition really makes me happy and proud. In this present day that the trend to just be a sperm donor, Curtis opted to be a father. As Baby Zeli, as he calls her was born, she took supreme precedence in his life. He never directly voiced this to me but I know that his major goal in life is to take care of his wife to be and daughter. It just makes me proud to know this as this I’ve pledged upon becoming a father also. I really want to make this infectious in the world as this seem not like the cool thing to do but in all honesty it is. You can’t imagine how it feels to be a great contributor to society raising world leaders. And by world leaders I don’t necessarily mean in the political arena, if they so choose to go that route, I’ll be supportive of their decision, however what I meant was you can change the world leading one person at a time to the right direction.

Curtis Keep up the good work, God has something great for you. Time is all it takes.

Now back to the baby, I seriously have to pinch her cheek anytime I see her. Baby got’s cheeks. These images here are of her at 6 weeks,  I was on a quest for images to display on the blog and I found these that were not blogged yet.

Enjoy,

Bryan Morris
