The images in this slideshow were created
at the wedding of Editha Tendencia & James Boynton.
The location was a stunning villa overlooking the ocean near
the town of
Amalfi, Italy.
The first set of images was actually taken
on the day after the wedding in the nearby town of Ravello,
Italy.
The brown tone images were shot with a
camera that I converted to record only Infra Red light.
Instead of simply taking credit for all
the great images that came out of this wedding, I think this
is the perfect opportunity to point out how influential the
bride and groom are in the creation of a great set of photos.
Future brides - take note!
Dee & Jim (along with their coordinator
Claire) put together a fantastic event in an absolutely stunning
location. They took time the time to walk around the location
for some photos right at sunset, and they even got up again
to redo the hair and makeup at 6:am the next morning so that
we could catch some early morning light for our two hour photo
session in the town of Ravello. My portrait style is to find
a beautiful spot and put the couple in it, then see what they
come up with. So many of the creative posing ideas came directly
from Dee & Jim and their love for each other and their playful
spirit is evident in the images we produced.
Thank you Dee & Jim for bringing me
to such an amazing place. And I want to thank you also for all
your hospitality. You really made me feel totally welcome in
your family and I simply cannot say how good that felt. You
all treated me like a friend and a very special guest and I
can only hope that the art WE produced together will serve as
a lasting thank you for the gifts you shared with me.
Credit for these images should also go
directly to each of the vendors for this event because these
wonderful
pictures would not have happened without the creative efforts
of these people...

Dear Glen-
I just finished watching the slide show you put together of
my lovely friends Dee and Jim. I was rendered speechless, and
joyful, and tearful, and exuberant.
Thank you for bringing to
life the momentous event that was my friends' wedding celebration.
I felt, truly, as if I had been there.
Regards-
Alice
