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
