This is one of the many natural bridges on the island. It is said that we have 6 of which one collapsed 2+ years ago. The one that collapsed was the main one. We however have a few more that can be marveled over.

Serendipity Videography is based in Arizona. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jeff from Serendipity Videography last year at a wedding. The first 15 minutes  talking to Jeff I’ve noted that Jeff was a videographer of high quality and after checking his bio it really confirmed my thoughts.

Many photographers abhor working with Videographers. Some must be really obnoxious as the saying goes ”where there is smoke there is fire”  nevertheless, there are quite a few repugnant photographers as well that keep walking into the videographer’s shot. I can’t say much about videographers but all the videographers I’ve worked with were very polite, Thank God!

The best option is for a photographer and videographer is to get along as they’ll be working together the entire day. Layout the ground rules from the beginning and you shouldn’t have any problems.

A couple months ago the final edit of the wedding we did together was delivered and I must say that the edit was phenomenal.

I’ve recently received the gratifying news that they’ve won the Arizona Bride Best of Brides 2008.

Anytime you decide to look for a videographer swing over to their site and check them out.  The good thing about them is they don’t confine themselves to Arizona, they do destination videography as well. So if you’re looking for  award winning wedding videography, you’re in the right hands.

The most favorite time of the day for me living in Aruba is sunset. I could never have enough sunset images.

Enjoy your Sunday.

This was such a dumb idea that the title of the post had to be written in a dumb way.

When it comes to a proposal, most people go for the WOW factor and really attempt to place the last nail in the coffin. So they try to use never heard before proposal ideas or at least adapt an idea to be unique as possible to make an impact at whatever cost.

My, my my…..There are good ways to propose, bad ways to propose, ways that I don’t necessarily favor, but ah well, I don’t have to like them all; there are ways that absolutely blow me away.

And then there are ways that are DUMB, DUMB, DUMB so dumb that you had to name it three times.

Lefko Hajji, bought a $12000 ring to propose to his girlfriend. He placed the ring inside a helium balloon, as he left the balloon shop, the wind got a hold of the balloon (with the $12.000 ring inside of course) and he just stood there looking how the distance between him and the balloon got bigger and bigger.

He did attempt to follow it by car but was not successful.

His girlfriend is now giving him the silent treatment until he gets her a new ring.

He still hopes it to be returned……I really hope for him.

You can also let me know what you want me to write about as there are so many topics but sometime I don’t know what you want me to write about.

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.

Saturday, March 22, 2008 was Granny’s birthday. That’s the way I call her. She celebrated her 90th birthday. Yesterday was the celebration. I’ve enjoyed myself sooo much. I just wish I would grow that old and and be able to be as alert as she is. I was happy to see all my aunts and uncles but one uncle and be able to take a few shots of them. I really liked that I could’ve contribute to my kids heirloom.

Happy Birthday, Granny!

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the entire Irish community on this very festive day. This is a day that’s celebrated like no other.

St. Patrick is believed to have driven the snakes from Ireland. Once a pagan himself, St. Patrick is one of Christianity’s most widely known figures.

The modern secular holiday is based on the original Christian saint’s feast day also thought to be the date of the saint’s death. In 1737, Irish immigrants to the United States began observing the holiday publicly in Boston and held the first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City in 1766.

Today, the tradition continues with people from all walks and heritages by wearing green, eating Irish food, and attending parades. St. Patrick’s Day is bursting with folklore; from the shamrock to the leprechaun and to pinching those that are not wearing green.
