  I was going back and forth between villas while everyone was getting ready, trying to keep the bride and groom from seeing each other while trying to get some of the formals done! I knew we were going to be short on time! The plan was 4:00 wedding, over at 4:20 and formals done by 4:40 for a 20 minute drive to a remote beach for wedding party photos, all before we lost the sun! I have to admit…I didn’t think we were going to have time…
    
 Girls were calm and relaxed after their baths and the guys were bouncing off the walls taking shots of Mezcal! Everyone was actually ready early and we knocked out the bridals and most the formals before 4.
  The actual ceremony was only 10 minutes so timing was perfect to get the beach in time.
  This is my favorite shot of the wedding day! 
 I loved this bar on our way to the beach, unfortunately the seats didn’t move and there were people at the bar so we only had a second to get the shot!  
      The waves didn’t exactly cooperate and Eddie got soaked!

Ken, Absolutely fabulous photos! July 13, 2011 - 4:22 pm
I am constantly blown away with your photographs. Beautiful. Wow, where do I begin… We started off the week with a night of Cranium and cervezas while the families got to know each other and the next day some hit the local beaches while others went fishing. I didn’t get a camera out much the first day…I couldn’t quite get over the fact that I had $20k worth of photo equipment and didn’t have a lock on my door! I eased up and took one with me the next morning on our fishing trip with Jesus “White Shark” and boy did we have some good luck which was followed by two days of fresh fish for everyone! Johnathan caught his first “real fish” and we all caught at least one big Mahi and a number of mackerel, we also saw countless numbers of sea turtles and dolphins and the water was like glass.
         I forced myself to get up early a few mornings to catch some outstanding sunrises and tried my hand at HDR. HDR is high dynamic range and it is a bit of fad in photography right now. I really didn’t like the look at first but when it is subtle it looks outstanding. The process involves taking multiple exposures and mixing them into one. By exposing for the highlights and low lights you can make an image look more like the human eye records the image or even taken beyond that to make it surreal. I have to give a plug to a buddy of mine from high school Cliff Baise that inspired me to try it out and taught me a few tricks. Here a few HDR shots of the resort.
 
     The next days had us surfing in some of the largest waves I have every seen…I know this one is not big but Joey was the only one that actually got up so I had to show it! I also need to show the freaky vultures that were always circling overhead! The river rocks were at the mouth of a fresh water river that flowed into the ocean. very cool sound of the rocks clanking together. Probably my only disappointment of the area was the diving and we hauled an extra 60lbs of gear to dive and never went, only snorkeled a bit and the viability was not too good.
     Continued at Destination Wedding • Huatulco, Mexico • Joseph + Robin • Part 2 by khatley no comments Teresa wanted to do a casual session at her home. She wanted to capture where they actually got engaged and keep Scott comfortable. The weather was very cold that morning but it warmed up quickly and we decided to go outdoors for a few shots at a nearby park. We didn’t like the first two locations and ended up at Prairie Creek Park in Richardson. It was jam packed with photographers so we went off the beaten path and found a place I didn’t know existed which was great for shooting. I had a few casualties on this session…dropped my flash in the creek and lost part of wireless transmitter but we had a great time and I looking forward to their wedding later this month!
    by khatley no comments Congratulations to Ethan Harrison of the Dallas Scots he made the cover of the November Ice Times from our coverage of Texas Shootout tournament earlier this season.
  Also, congratulations to Ryan Nicks of the DJHA Penguins and his mom Lori Nicks for winning our Silver Stick photo contest. Normally, I like to have a little opposition chasing to complete an action photo but I love this shot and rarely do you get such a young skater not looking at the puck so early in the turn. Ryan’s glasses and eye clarity on this photo really caught my eye! Lori will receive a 16×20 double mat frame with an 11×14 print of her son!
