... early spring greens! .. park view.

I don't know about you, but I loooove the fresh, vibrant greens we can enjoy during early springs!  I know.  It might be a bit too late to be talking about "early spring" -- we are in May! -- but spring has arrived a bit late to Montreal (Quebec)!

No se vos, pero a mi me encantan los verdes -- frescos y vibrantes -- de la temprana primavera!  Y se que es un poco tarde para hablar de "temprana primavera" -- estando en Mayo! -- pero la primavera ha llegado un poquito tarde a Montreal (Quebec) este año!

Here's a small example of what I am referring to.

Aca hay un pequeño ejemplo de lo que me refiero.

Back in Utah - ready for some Utah wedding and special event photography

Now I am back in Utah and I am ready, once again, to beautifully photograph some local weddings, special events and commercial work.  Salt Lake City, Park City and Utah County's elegant weddings are my forte here in Utah.  I photograph most of my special events in Los Angeles and Hollywood, Southern California.
