After 3 amazing months in Costa Rica I have arrived in Nicaragua. I felt the difference between the neighbouring countries immediately. Nicaragua suffers a lot more poverty, but the people are just as welcoming and friendly as the Ticos in Costa Rica. I have had the privilege of being welcomed into the homes of many Nicaraguans, through work I am doing with a fantastic non-profit organisation, Opportunity Nicaragua. Here is one of my favourite shots from last weeks shoot. I will post more photos soon. This dog takes a rest from the sweltering heat of dry season in a village outside of Granada, Nicaragua Read More

Costa Rica Wedding Photographer I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding photos for the lovely Anne and Eugene from New York. The celebrations took place at at Verdenergia, a beautiful eco retreat in Costa Rica which holds special memories for the couple. When the sunny morning turned to a rainy afternoon just before the ceremony was scheduled to begin, Anne and Eugene kept their cool and after chatting to their Sharman, Raven, decided to reschedule the ceremony to the next morning (however, this didn’t stop the reception party from continuing on time, as scheduled). Here are some shots of Anne and Eugene getting ready for the first time. Eugene and Anne enjoying the party Walking to the ceremony site the next morning Read More

I was looking through some of the photos I have taken during my 5 months in Panama, and when I saw this one it brought a smile to my face as I remembered the fun I had hanging out with my little friend in the village of Malena. Read More

Cartagena is a beautiful, colonial town in the Caribbean Coast of Colombia. We arrived at night to the sounds of Cuban-infused jazz drifting through the warm, heavy air. There were kids playing football in the street, vendors selling maize bread and friendly men offering us water, marijuana, cocaine… Inside the walls sits an elegant city centre, where we wandered the quiet streets and took in the Cartagena in all her beauty. Beautiful negra women sell fruit in the traditional dress of the area. The climate makes for a slow lifestyle with a lot of sitting around and sleeping in the shade of the city streets or gardens. One of the entrances to the walled city, this archway is about 5 metres thick. The traditional mixed with the modern. You can buy anything from local handicrafts from the artisanas on the footpath, to the latest fashions in air conditioned boutiques. Read More
