Jesenia & Daniel

January 26th, 2010 - posted in: trash the dress, weddings

as with many wedding blog posts, i just don’t know where to begin talking about this amazing couple.

I could start off by saying that they both look like models,

or maybe i’ll just start by saying that dan and jesenia

have devoted there lives to those living in the garbage dumps of Nicaragua.

people don’t get much more amazing than this. – jonathan

sweet shoe shot tiff! i’m diggin’ the soft colors- jonathan

Hola Wifey!

if you didn’t guess by now, jesenia speaks spanish.

I loved listening to her and her friends talk. I just had no idea what they were saying- jonathan

i’m sure this is good for the toilet seets?- jonathan

i think these were the strangest shoes i have ever seen.

i’m not sure jesenia knew i was taking her picture while she was in the stall but i’m opportunistic.  -tif

ummm.. gross. but i do have to admit they were some great flip flops- jonathan

this was the biggest veils we have ever photographed.

we had a lot of fun with it on the “day after” shoot- jonathan

this was also the first time we have ever shot a wedding that had translator for the bride.

good times :) – jonathan

i love candy at weddings, especially if they’re mints!

i was so surprised, i thought these were m&m’s, which i’m not too fond of.

but mini york pep. patties, i’m in heaven.  -tif

nice ring shot tiff! – jonathan

we love the strip in pittsburgh. so, we took daniel and jesenia out on this super windy day.

being from Nicaragua, jesenia handled it pretty well.

…sorry again we didn’t have any snow, i know you were looking forward to it. -tif

it was crazy windy that day. It wasn’t all that cold. but the wind just bit pretty hard.

we left the car running the seats heated and heater blowing full force

so that in between locations she could thaw out- jonathan

haha  i love it!

and my butt crack isn’t even showing.  just my undaroos.- jonathan

i don’t remember who took this shot, but i like it!

you two made the shoot.  you had so much fun.

all we had to do is point and shoot – jonathan

daniel was so patient with us too.

in between shots jesenia would warm up in the car

and he would just stand there so we could set thing up.

i love the colors here.  -tif

absolutley stinkin’ adorable.

and that’s about all i can say about that- jonathan

you two are awesome.

i think this is one of my favorites from the day- jonathan

although i am quite fond of this pic also.

she used one of these vines to “choke” him later on.

it was hilarious!

we couldn’t blog it :( to many pics already. – jonathan

ha ha, both views of the same shot.

I had to move the one up in the blog, for some reason you had it so far away.  -tif

that’s because blogging is the most tedious time consuming annoying thing.

seriously!  i think we are doing it wrong. it shouldn’t be this hard.

Whomever designed wordpress must have never used a mac. the interface screams PC- jonathan

this is one of my favorite shots of yours tiff.- jonathan

these guys have so much personality,

they were so fun to work with, even with a slight language barrier.  -tif

surprise!  i was shooting the couple from the other side of the train

and jesenia turned around to find jonathan scaling a wall behind her.

priceless face.  -tif

i was just going to post the bottom picture of this set,

but i was afraid it would kinda look morbid,

kinda like she was dead.

so i threw in the top two to let you all know she was having great fun! – jonathan

tough guys don’t look at explosions. – jonathan

alright, i will give you props on the photoshop skills in the above one jonathan, it’s hilarious.  -tif

haha! if you saw it in full size,

you would see that my photo shop skills are that of a 6 year old girl- jonathan

very sweet shot tiff.  i love the fact that you just have to look at it for a few seconds to really see it- jonathan

while we were shooting this, a random guy shouted from the wendy’s parking lot

“are you guys models?”

dang right, you two made this shoot so easy.

your both ridiculously beautiful, and so much fun-tif

good job on your first blog jonathan.  -tif

what…  first blog?! not!

i have blogged before and i will blog again.

i just think wordpress is kinda antiquated.

good thing we got the awesome and super talented

    November 20th, 2009 - posted in: trash the dress

    this was our first trash the dress shoot ever!  i am super stoked about how it turned out.

    I am so stoked that i think i broke a few blogging rules.

    there are quite a few shots that are only slightly different.

    i couldn’t decide which ones to keep out of the blog

    I hope you two love these photos as much as tiff and I do – jonathan

    DPP_4440

    we shoot down in the strip district of pittsburgh pretty often and i came across these tires on our last shoot.

    i instantly knew that we would have to put joanna and andrea in or on them some how – tif

    IMG_9632

    So instead of bringing her husband, andrea brought her best friend from high school along.  -tif

    having two friends together helped keep the energy up. so that rocked! – jonathan

    IMG_9610

    i love how different they ended up being. when i was editing it felt like two shoots, i guess it kind of was.

    we wanted them to each have a separate set of photos.  andrea is classic and cute…  -tif

    IMG_9607

    … and joanna is intense, check this out.  -tif

    IMG_9640

    I want to start naming my favorite pictures on this shoot, but….  yeah i would have like 10 favorites – jonathan

    IMG_9613

    my monkey.  -tif

    DPP_4434

    oh my….  we found these awesome gloves lying on the ground and

    joanna was brave enough to put them on.

    i meant to bring those gloves home with me. i forgot :( – jonathan

    in the ground, jonathan, andrea found them in a big cement hole.  -tif

    DPP_4495

    one of my favorites.  -tif

    DPP_4504

    how many brick leaning on brick shots can we post? – jonathan

    i’m actually stunned by these next to pictures.

    yeh I love to see the difference in our shots with different position and lenses, I never know what your shooting for -tif

    IMG_9662

    IMG_9665

    you look adorable in these photos andrea!!! – jonathan

    IMG_9702

    IMG_9703

    favorite number two!!!!  -tif

    DPP_4534

    i really really like this picture tiff.  i often forget to do artsy fartsy things like this on a shoot.

    i’m glad you got the artsy covered.  and you know i’m always good for the fartsy part :) – jonathan

    seriously!,  the first thing he said to me when he got home last night was “pppffffffft”  -tif

    haha!!  amazing things preceded the picture below! – jonathan

    IMG_9769

    CRAP! i ripped her dress! that really sucked.

    i helped hoist her up and i thought i popped her back until i noticed that her dress almost fell off of her!

    and please pay special attention to her head in relation to metal door- jonathan

    broken zipper

    not only did i rip her dress i somehow managed to smack her face right into the filthy garage door thing

    i promise, this is the most damage that has ever happened on a shoot with us – jonathan

    i walked over, and andrea has a huge purple/black mark on her cheek.

    luckily she had that sweet dress to clean herself up with.  -tif

    smacks her face

    DPP_4658

    if it is okay with you joanna, i am most definitely printing this picture out

    and hanging it somewhere. or at least updating my screen saver with it!

    this next two pictures are incredible!

    thank you tiff for making them look so stinkin awesome in post!!- jonathan

    IMG_9720

    IMG_9711

    I’d love some feedback on this one.  Tiff thought i shouldn’t post it. any thoughts?

    yay or nay? – jonathan

    IMG_9751

    this, whatever it was, is as close to a bamboo forest you will ever find in downtown pittsburgh – jonathan

    IMG_9743

    DPP_4572

    i think i will let tiff talk about this next series as she was able to witness this from dry land :) – jonathan

    ha ha ha, just because you’ve had enough embarrassment this shoot. ok -tif

    i would have never thought to go under a bridge at dusk, what light… this looks amazing. -tif

    IMG_9796

    IMG_9799

    bridewithwine

    no clue.

    but it made for some fun photos!- jonathan

    IMG_9823

    we most definitely succeeded in trashing your dress. – jonathan
