i was hired to 2nd shoot along side their friend Lucas. it was super easy working with him, we collaborated

and really rocked the day. i hope i will get to work with the newly weds and Lucas again soon.

here are few of my favorites from the night.

by far the craziest thing i did year to date. maybe a new sport, dodging golf balls as you shoot a bridal party.

enzo shake it!

ocho loves to find weird places to sleep sometimes (between all the wires next to the tv).
