We had a great event in Miami and the main guest of honor Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat. The whole T-Mobile sweepstakes is base around him and your ‘Fave 5′. There will be two winners, one person will get the chance to shoot a game of ‘F-A-V-E-S’ (like HORSE) again D. Wade to win $50,000. Then the other has to be a T-Mobile customer and gets to take their ‘Fave 5′ to a NBA finals game. Here are a few shots and you can CLICK HERE view the gallery.

The last few cities have been rough dealing with venue limitations and weather. In Chicago we were in the beautiful Millennium Park but cramped under a tent which was mandated by the city. Probably a good thing because it did shower on and off throughout the game. We had a great crowd and really into the game. Check out the photos, CLICK HERE. Our good buddy Sticky Rammel came up to hang with us the first night. I had also scored us some killer Cubs tickets and the game was postponed due to rain!
After the event we loaded up on the bus and pulled out of Chicago at 3AM and arrived in Philly around 7PM the next day. The late arrival foiled our chances at yet another baseball game. Megan Beth came up from D.C. the next day to hang and help out with the event. However, we got completely rained out at Penn’s Landing. The next day Regis and I flew to Miami where we will photograph and video our event with Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat.

We did manage to squeeze in a Philly Cheese Steak before the rainout! I had a Cheese Steak, Whiz, Wit. That means the original sandwich that has cheese whiz wit grilled onions. For you the Californians a Philly cheese steak ‘Animal Style’!

Regis in actions, notice the Starbucks in the background. I liked how this brand ambassador’s nail polish matched T-Mobile’s color.


Everyone can text to win! ‘My Shot’ to 72579. Do it now!

Last week we went to Mammoth for the kids ‘Springbreak’ and stayed in an awesome retro cabin right at the base of the mountain. This ‘A’ frame style cabin was phenomenal! It had a gorgeous view out the two-story glass windows in the living room. It had a back deck, sleeps 12, pool table, dart board, vintage furniture/appliances and taxidermy everywhere! (black bear rug, 6 foot Marlin, ducks, deer).
We cooked, played games, went sledding and had snow ball fights everyday. Tuesday we had 6 inches of snow which provided excellent snow ball making! Here are some shots from the week; enjoy.


Our first casualty, a splinter from the desk in Sammy’s foot. I operated and Batman, saved the day!


I think Rach was more scared than Asa…



Sammy’s going through a phase of making a silly face in front of the camera.




This is my favorite one of Evie that was taken by Rach. I was sleeping?

Evie was helping me scrap the windows.





Sammy loved trying to hit my camera with a snowball.

I was warming up my arm for a battle with the boys!

Elijah was deflecting a snow ball that I through.

Wedding
As promised, here is the second post on Brita and Ryan’s wedding. I love everything involved with the event, they had a ton of fun eats, drinks and entertainment. Check it out!

The Villa and location was breathtaking!

Tequila, Taco, and Salsa Bar.

Three different bands, a DJ, hand rolled cigars, two cakes, late-night tacos El Pastor, yummy. I ate like 10 ten of those things, no joke!

I love these two shots of her being escorted to the ceremony.


Notice the large 200+ foot Yacht in the background with the helicopter on the back. He was a guest at the wedding. Ryan and boys had a couple fun nights at sea before the wedding.





Ryan and Brita wanted to get the party started right with a shot of Tequila at the end ceremony.


Brita and Elizabeth, awe cute… You might recognize Lizzie from the WPPI Las Vegas Shoot. She is one of my clients for September.


Cocktail hour piñata games!




I love this series of Brita and them together!









Fire dancers… At one point I got a bit close, you can really feel the heat from those things!

Me and Brita. Me and Regis. Big thank you to Regis Chen for rolling with me to Mexico to shoot. After a long day we kicked back with Pacifico, hand-rolled cigar and some tacos el pastor!
