This image was taken of my bride Janette for her wedding with Ryan at my REAL wedding workshop. It was such a beautiful place to shoot, and such an amazing place to be able to do my first REAL wedding workshop. They have these cabins that sit on a beautiful lake, and so we took Janette outside for a bridal session. Such a great time!!

This production image was taken at my REAL wedding workshop at the Moundsville State Penitentiary in Moundsville West Virginia. We shot the wedding ceremony earlier in the day at the Palace of Gold, and then held the reception in the historic penitentiary. During the middle of the reception we took the bride and groom and shot inside of the penitentiary, and ended the shoot here in the jail cells which was awesome. Can't wait to share more!

I always love to find creative ways to create ring shots at weddings. This was taken at the wedding for Dan and Stephanie at Lake Oak Meadows last month. I took some crystals and rose petals, placed the rings in the middle, grabbed my lights, put on the macro lens, and went to work. Hope you like it!

This image was taken at my wedding for Dan and Stephanie at Lake Oak Meadows in the Wine Country of Temecula. It was a great wedding, and I placed the rings on top of the wedding cake topper, and you can see the rose petals that were part of the cake decoration on top. Just a beautiful wedding....

This image was taken at my wedding for Dan and Stephanie at the Lake Oak Meadows Winery in Temecula, California. I first tested the water with other things to make sure that the rings wouldn't move, and then I placed them down to get this shot of the water passing over the rings...

In less than a week, images for the Palace of Gold wedding that I shot for my REAL wedding workshop in Moundsville, West Virginia have been seen in 15 countries! That's some international coverage...:)
I always love to look at the stats for my wedding pictures and see where the views come from around the world. These stats as seen in the attached picture show only the numbers for the www.palaceofgoldwedding.com website and don't include Facebook, or any other blogs. If it did the numbers would be significantly higher....it just goes to show you what an international world we live in...

This image was taken at my wedding shoot at the Moundsville State Penitentiary in Moundsville West Virginia. Having a wide angle lens in a place with so many lines, vanishing points etc. is just amazing. For this shot I was using the Nikon 14mm super wide. Just an amazing lens....

This image of the inside of the Palace was taken a day before my REAL wedding workshop at the Palace of Gold in Moundsville, West Virginia. I feel so honored that we were allowed to shoot a wedding here. And it was a historic event at that. This was the FIRST non-Krishna wedding to ever be shot there, and I'm so honored that I was chosen to be the photographer to shoot this historic event. Thanks to everyone including the bride and groom, Janette and Ryan....

This image was taken at my REAL wedding workshop at the New Vrindaban Palace of Gold in Moundsville, West Virginia. It is a beautiful palace with an abundance of amazing things to shoot.

This production image was taken at my wedding for Dan and Stephanie at the Lake Oak Meadows Winery in Temecula, California. I actually tested other similarly weighted items in the same location before placing the rings there to make sure that they wouldn't be in any danger of falling. When you combine the shine from the Rotolights with the water cascading over the wedding rings...it makes for a seriously cool shot. I'll share the finished shot in a little while...

This image was taken at my wedding for Dan and Stephanie at the Lake Oak Meadows Winery in Temecula. When I saw the parasols, and the beautiful red bridesmaids dresses, I knew I had to shoot a shot that incorporated both. Immediately following the group shots I pulled the Bridesmaids aside and set up this shot. I think they are all so beautiful...:)

This image was taken at my wedding Dan and Stephanie at the Lake Oak Meadows Winery in Temecula, California. The couple had a 1961 Bentley drop them off and pick them up before and after the ceremony. So before we started the Reception we did a quick couple shoot of them in the car with her bouquet sitting on the outside....

This image was taken at my wedding for Dan and Stephanie at the Lake Oak Meadows Winery in the beautiful wine country of Temecula, California. It was a beautiful wedding and when the bride was driven up to the ceremony in a 1961 Bentley I just had to grab a shot of her looking through the windows of the classic car. What a beautiful wedding....

This production image was taken during my bridal shoot, the day before the wedding I shot at the Hare Krishna Palace of Gold Temple (America's Taj Mahal) in Moundsville, West Virginia. It was an amazing day and this was right before an albino peacock came for us to shoot!
