I spent a week living in a hotel in the middle of the pulsing heart of Granada – The Market. I would wake up each day at 5:30am (the heat was insane even at that hour), walk out the door and grab some fruit, veges and fresh tortillas for breakfast, each time returning home with almost the same amount of money. It stinks and its probably a bit dangerous at night, but I definitely recommend staying in the middle of a Central American market if you get the chance. You’ll feel like you are getting to know the real people and the real country, and it’s much easier to photograph at golden hour when you only have to step out the front door. I bought cheese from these two all the time. It was delicious. Read More

I had an fantastic time photographing and staying at the luxurious Aqua Wellness Resort in Nicaragua. Located near Playa Gigante, the resort is a world of luxury in a secluded bay with gorgeous white sand and perfect sunsets every afternoon. Here are some photos from our sunset shoot. No matter how many monkeys I have seen on my trip around Latin America, I can never get enough of watching them and photographing them. I shot the silhouette image above then turned around to capture his friend in another tree in completely different light. Here are a few early morning shots of the beachside restaurant and the beautiful yoga instructor, Sunshine. Read More

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
