Things Are Looking Up

“I was shooting a wedding and was searching for perfect light. I convinced my bride and groom to keep climbing up to the top of the mountain we were on, as soon as we crested the summit the shy sun was waiting for us and the sky burst alive. It was perfect. The early fall sun was headed back south and the air had that slight crisp to it. Winter was coming but not here yet. The very moment the groom saw the landscape in front of him unfold, he quietly spoke to his new bride ‘things are looking up’. She giggled a laugh only a newlywed could. Keep your head up - things are looking up.” Designed by Las Vegas Wedding Photographers from USA.

Dance

“These images were taken of Nicole Marquez in one of her first studio dance sessions since falling three years ago from her sixth story apartment window. She was internally decapitated, broke her lower back, pelvis and all the ribs on one side. Doctors thought she wouldn’t make it through the night for she lay on an 8 inch broken bottle for over 8 hours before being discovered. She is steadily recovering and proved the doctors wrong in that she not only walked again but she dances and teaches others. She’s a motivational speaker and a living miracle. Here are more links to her story. and this is her website.” Designed by Talamieka Brice.
