Boudoir Photography (Tucson)

What is boudoir?...The word itself means "Bedroom" in French, but in reality, it means way more than that. Boudoir Photography is a new trend that has been developing in the later years. It consists of a photo-session in which women, in my opinion, look gorgeous beyond the usual. Many brides choose to experience this kind of photography and prepare a small repertoire of this images as a present to their future husband on their wedding day. Other women choose boudoir as a surprise for Anniversaries or as Birthday present for their boyfriend. And other women explore Boudoir Photography as a mere form of expression. I am personally fascinated by beauty in women. I like to always emphasize the glow in her eyes, her anatomy and her nature.

I am not afraid of nudity, nor I see it as something inappropriate, much less indecent. For me, the concept of nudity or even implied nudity, is an artistic expression of ones self in full awareness of our existence and acceptance as a unique and gifted creature.

Whatever the motive is for anyone to consider boudoir photography, it is important to understand that this artistic perspective of portraiture is intended to be natural, feminine and simple. It doesn't have to do with one's definition of perfection, but with our spiritual, mental and physical connection to express in a different way... subtle, intimate and still elegant.

Disneyland Hotel-Quinceanera for Brianna

Brianna had her Quinceañera at the beautiful Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. Her parents and madrina helped get ready at the hotel and then we took a walk around to do take some photos around once she had her Cinderella dress on. This was a real dream come true. right before the ceremony an amazing Cinderella Carriage came to pick her up to take it to the ceremony site within the Hotel's premises where all the guests and family were waiting for her. Like a true princess, she walked down the isle with her Chambelan all dressed in white. The ceremony was full of emotions and then we headed to her reception. Brianna a very talented girl performed for all her guests with two surprise dances. A Tango, the first one, and a Middle Eastern Dance the second one. Very graceful... I love when the girls dedicate their time to learn something while their are growing up, whether is dance, playing an instrument, decorate, singing, a sport, anything. Women have to be multifaceted. It is not possible to go through life and live to step in front of a mirror and look pretty. There must be something else. There must be intellectual beauty, not only physical. So I really enjoy when girls prepare a surprise dance or some kind of performance for an audience. Brianna looked gorgeous and her proud parents were speechless to see her become such a gorgeous young woman. On the outside and the inside. Her family and friends danced all night and even performed themselves an awesome display of Michael Jackson's top hits with an impeccable choreography. I'm sure Brianna's XV will be unforgettable. I enjoyed this Quinceañera very much, I loved the family who are truly fine people, as much as I enjoyed working with my friends and colleagues Tacho and Rolex. These pictures were the story of a true princess: Briana. Enjoy.

Weddings: Rachel & Adrian at Rancho Valle Milagro in Tucson Arizona

Rachel and Adrian got married at a beautiful location in Tucson called Rancho Valle Milagro. Their wedding was super glamorous. There was absolutely no detail left behind. The theme was diamonds. From the welcome table, to the ice sculpture, her bouquet, the cake, I mean everything was an icon that perfectly fit Rachel's profile of style, glamour and perfection. Rachel reminded me of the Greek Godesses with her beautifully braided blond hair and the thick curls that gave her an accent to her gorgous facial features. Her wedding gown was a enchanting Sottero and Midgley desing. I really enjoyed being their wedding photographer, I have a tendency to picture in my mind the poses that fit the personality of every bride... Rachel, I wanted her striking, sensual, elegant. I have the luxury of working with an awesome team that allows me and every couple, the ability to see the full wedding from different angles and at different moments. While I was with Rachel, Michael Meares, my second photographer was 'writing' with his camara, the groom's story: Adrian's, who enjoyed the company of his brother and best man while the the moment came. In the meantime, Ricardo, my primary exclusive Videographer from Enzeru Productions was capturing the best of the best as this awesome wedding developed. I'm going to leave you with Rachel's Bridal Spotlight which is a super cool short footage of the wedding in which the main focus is shifted to our gorgeous bride: Rachel. Enjoy.
