Jamie and Melissa are such a beautiful couple and we were so looking forward for the next day after the wedding to shoot some pictures around the resort and on the beach .

Melissa & Jamie married in Varadero, Cuba.

Yesterday I arrived from Varadero, Cuba where I shot the wedding of Melissa & Jamie and all there friends and family . Its not my first destination wedding but its my first time meeting the couple down south and I was very anxious to meet Melissa and Jamie. The were a group of friends and family of 45 people and we spent 4 days before the wedding getting to know each other . We had a awesome time and I felt like I was among friends on vacation. It was a real delight meeting some amazing people from Newfoundland.

Wedding day comes, beautiful sunny day with some mild winds on the beach. After preparation shots and few portraits , here we are present with Melissa and Jamie on the beach in Varadero where they got married . The supper and reception followed at the Italian restaurant at the Iberostar Playa Alameda Resort. The next day we had a trash the dress session that I will post some images from in few days .

Cheers everyone. See you all soon.

Destination wedding in Cuba : Dina & Renie

It was a warm sunny day now in Varadero , Cuba. The preparations were are the resort before the ceremony and reception to be held at the Casa Dupont. Dina was surrounded by her sisters, her mom and her little angle during the preparations in the morning. While Renie was taking it easy in the pool with friends and few drinks to start the wedding day on the fun side. We left the resort by car to the venue while the Dina took a horse ride. After the ceremony we took an hour for few pictures around sunset and then we hit the dance floor for some hot music time. The very next day, we went for a trash the dress session with the bridal party. Hope you enjoy the slideshow .

Nikon DSLR 1080p video

It would be very interesting to see this year a full frame Nikon DSLR with a 1080p video feature. Manual video control would be a minimum just enough to compete with the latest Canon EOS 5d MarkII. I have been following all the rumors in the internet and I am starting to imagine how the next camera would be. A D700 body with a new sensor similar to the D3s but with a video feature . Not that I will start making wedding videos but it would be an interesting approach to sideshows with a mix of pictures and short video clips. Interesting enough to see Montreal Photographers offering same day or next day edit of their wedding day in a short clip movie containing highlights of the day.

[update]

I was reading the other day about the Nikon P100 , which offers a 1080p video feature with H.264 codec and a frame rate of 120fps. That means Nikon could produce a DSLR with those features to compete with Canon and make Nikon users happy. I think they can do better by also pumping some more megapixel with a new sensor.
