Amelia and Carlos – Miami Couples Photographer – Sneak Peek

Here’s the Sneak Peek from a fun couples session with Carlos and Amelia on Hollywood Beach.

We met Amelia a while back as she’s a good friend of one of our brides and we had a great time with a portrait shoot during the World Cup. Amelia and Carlo came back for this session on the beach in Hollywood.

Stephanie and Drack – South Florida Engagement Photographer – Hollywood Beach

The full set from our engagement session with Stephanie and Drack at Hollywood Beach north park and on the boardwalk. You may have seen the sneak peek here… follow the link if you want to find out about the virtues of carrying backup equipment.

Super-classy couple, they love to dance so we started out with some dancing shots to get the mood going… and then took it from there. My only complaint for the session is that it lasted far too little, these guys were really fun to work with!

Stephanie and Drack – South Florida Engagement Photographer – Sneak Peek

A Sneak Peek from a great engagement session we had a few days ago on Hollywood Beach.

Here’s a shot I just had to share…can’t wait to put this one on the portfolio… do these guys look amazing or what?!?!?

I’m posting this other shot as a testament to backup equipment. You know… the “Extra Stuff” that you should expect your professional photographer to own and carry along. Stephanie’s engagement ring is a unique black pearl with two white pearls around it. About a half hour into the session I decided that I wanted to take a ring shot. In the process of getting the camera body with the macro lens the camera ended up dropping on the asphalt… the lens was torn into three pieces and the body took a hit on the memory card door which would no longer open.
While it’s never fun to see an expensive piece of equipment lying on the floor in pieces, what would be even less fun would be having to hand the ring back to the bride to be and saying “sorry, my macro is busted, so I can’t take a ring shot.”

Backup equipment rocks!

Update:  full set is up!

Wedding Guest Book Sample – Josie and George Miami Wedding

Welcome to the first blog post under the new Di Sciascio name!

We might do a post about the name change… we’re thinking to even include a little background on how the new branding evolved, but that’s the subject for another day.  Today we’re excited to show you the very first product to sport our new branding … and it’s something we’re very happy about since it’s the highest quality, nicest Wedding Guest Book we’ve ever done.  Which is kind of the point with the new branding anyway 🙂

So let’s start off with that logo… for the very first time ever in print:

And here are some shots that show off the wedding guestbook:

we can fully customize the incredible canvas cover with photos from our client’s engagment sessions, or with their Wedding Photography if the book is being purchased as an add-on coffee-table book to have ready for your friends to browse through.

Notice the spine allows for lay-flat viewing

Here you should be able to see a detail of the amazing textured paper. It’s fantastic for your Wedding guests to write on but it’s also just an incredible tactile experience even for a coffee book that will not be written in.

and a few of the spreads…

as you can see we designed some of the spreads for your wedding guests to write in and some are simply display spreads featuring images.

This guestbook is a 14″x11″ horizontal layout, the largest, most amazing one we offer our Wedding Photography and Portrait Photography clients. We also offer smaller sizes.

If you thought this was neat please consider clicking the Share button hovering on the left. Thank you!

Josie and George – Engagement in Miami

Had an AWESOME time photographing and spending time with a great couple down in Miami a couple of weeks ago.  I thought I’d start the set with a silly “look at us play supermodel” because this couple was so much fun and had such great chemistry that I figured I’d start with something silly … obviously decided to complement the over the top expressions with some very in  your face over the top processing 🙂

The engagement shoot started at Virginia Key Beach.  I’d never been there before and it was quite the treat to see all the great photo opportunities hidden there.  Where do we start…  ok let’s see:

Gorgeous people amongst the vegetation:

more gorgeous people, vegetation… and FLARE!

peek-a-boo… I see you 🙂

orange, orange, everywhere! …. and you know I like my orange right? 🙂

a change of outfit and a quick stop back in the “jungle” part of the beach…

and then off to the beach itself…

Back into the previous outfits and off to another location for some sunset photos….

and dancing with the moon

a quick change into eveningwear and the engagement photography session moved to Lincoln Road in South Beach.

We saw this cool elevator with a glass back and decided to take some playful shots with that…

after shooting from the front of the elevator we moved to the back where we shot quite a few “caught while otherwise distracted” shots 🙂  Here’s one we turned into a panoramic sequence

and here’s one that was super-steamy…

Now the thing was that due to the speed of the elevator and how dark it was I had to prefocus the camera and basically wait for them to appear out of nowhere and take the shots…. of course we had a few surprises… for instance this one time they were supposed to go by while wrapped around each other like pythons in love (if you found this page while searching for information about the reproductive habits of leg-less reptiles don’t blame me, blame google) but instead they showed up with a family:

and of course they played their own jokes on me as well… behold… SuperGeorge and WonderJosie!

Once we were done with the elevator we headed off onto Lincoln Road where we found a few nice spots to shoot in…

Josie and George,

Thank you so much for being the awesome people you are… I am so glad Joe put us in touch (Joe you rock man!)  I can’t wait to shoot your wedding in May… Josie, you’re going to be a spectacular bride and George… well you’re already on heck of a lucky guy so I guess you’ll be a lucky guy in a tux 🙂

You can see the rest of the photos on the proofs site

I close the set with one of my favorite photos ever:

Jennifer and Derek – Lifestyle Couples Session in Hollywood, Florida

No, not a South Florida Wedding and not an Engagement Session either… but a gorgeous couples’ session nonetheless.  Jennifer and Derek are total naturals in front of the camera… which is understandable in the case of Jennifer, who models (and dances and does all sorts of other cool things!) but Derek… he’s just a regular dude… but wow… check out the intense GQ look below!

After that shot we kept joking around that he’s got the intense look of an underwear model… oh yeah and I should note that when he jokingly asked something along the lines of “ok is this when we do the underwear shots” … my wife didn’t make a peep … hum… 🙂

At any rate… photographing them was a pleasure and an honor… and if you guys end up together… let’s totally hook up a cool multi-hour session 🙂

Here’s a shot I’d like comments on (you can email me if you prefer to keep your thoughts private)… I had this idea while shooting a tiny little baby, that we often don’t have photos from the vantage point of Ourselves while doing something… in the case of the baby I shot the baby as the parent would see him while they held him. In this case the idea was to use a normal lens (which gives a very natural perspective) and shoot the photo from the position where Derek’s eyes would be if he were gazing into Jennifer’s eyes as he gently cupped her face… does it work?

And speaking of cupping… 🙂

Two can play this game!

This shot below deserves an explanation.  As usual at the beginning of the session I mentioned to them that the best “kiss” photos are photos where they’re about to kiss… not the actual kiss itself.  Well… guess what… without me even realizing it they took my words to heart and literally NEVER kissed during the whole session LOL.  Except when we started taking some totally silly ultra-wide-angle shots… which I certainly didn’t intend on posting…  but hey… it’s the only kiss shot I have, so here it is LOL

And from kiss… to … Uh Tongue bite-pull 🙂

Guys, it was an absolute pleasure to spend the little time we had available making some fun photography.  Thank you!

Oh and Derek… unfortunately for my wife we don’t really do underwear model photography but if that’s where you see yourself in 5 years… I might have some contacts you might want to talk to 🙂

All the photos for the session are on the proofs section of the website.
