Love love love this wedding! My absolute favs are 5 (love the neck shot...the way her hand is softly about to touch her necklace is so beautiful and intimate), 7 (absolutely breathtaking!!! the flowers, the shadows, the wedding party in the background...perfect!), 11 (brings a tear to my eye...so touching), and 15 (the epitome of sheer happiness!). Great job as always!!!

Re: More Pictures of Our Trip to the Peruvian Amazon

Wow. I did not know there were THAT many people living in the amazon!!! I think it´s so cool that there are still people living deep in the jungle that have almost no contact with the Western world and have been living the same way for thousands of years. I really hope Brazil and Peru don´t do anything stupid like wipe out the entire Amazon one day and destroy the lives of all these amazing tribes living peacefully in the Amazon.

Re: How Many Continents Are There…Really?

I think kids are brought up with parents from different cultures are so lucky. They get to learn two languages, and they are taught at a very young age that the world is not black and white. I think this is such an important concept to learn and it´s something that not everybody ends up learning. Another bonus is that wherever they are, they´ll get to brag to all their friends that they have a gringa mom or a Chilean dad ha ha! I remember when I was young all my friends thought I was so cool that I could speak a different language and had parents who were from a different country who had cool accents! Man kids are so easily amused ha ha!

WWOOOOWW!!!!! I have been waiting to see these photos for a long time! Absolutely fantastic!!!! Once again you have manged to blow me away! I am so amazed by these!!! Andrea looks so drop dead gorgeous and the atmosphere of the wedding seemed so electric! Okay the make-up shot has to be the best make-up shot you´ve ever taken!!! She just looks so happy! I love how Andrea is beaming in every picture! The vineyard shots are incredible! What better place could exist for wedding photos? The colors are just amazing. I love the blue sky, the dusty background, mixed with the bright green from the grape vines. The dress shot is probably my favorite dress shot ever taken as well. It looks like an add for some famous wedding dress designer! AMAZING!!! The one of Andrea crying seriously brought a tear to my eye! I have never seen so much emotion captured in a photo before. You can just feel how much that day meant to her in that photo. Gonzalo looked so handsome too and together they looked like superstars. And I´ve completely fallen inlove with that dress. Good thing I didn´t do my wedding dress shopping in Chile or else I´m pretty sure we´d have three gringas wearing the same dress ha ha! Anyway, take home message: you outdid yourself again!!! Andrea and Gonzalo must be absolutely thrilled with these photos!!!

Okay my favorites...I LOVE number 4, the one of them talking with all that green around. You captured such an intimate and touching moment in that photo. And I love the setting with all the green and natural soft light. I also love 7, that smile is just beaming! The belly/ring shot in number 10 is so perfect! And I adore 10 and 11, the setting is so beautiful and I love the lighting! And with the last kiss shot, I say who cares if the glowing light with the kiss is popular. It looks so great and everybody deserves to have a picture of them like that! I just love those types of dreamy soft effects. Great job!

I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck and frustrations with the apartment hunting! I can see that Chile is really trying to push your limits. I wish you the patience, strength, and sanity to fight to the bitter end and get that apartment you've always wanted! I know you'll get it eventually!

Re: Fotografia vs. Construcción Part II

gringagonesouth — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:56:47 -0000

Thanks for sharing your story Seba! I too am thinking about switching careers after reading about all the places you get to travel being a photographer! Wait..first I need to find a career ha ha!

And hey, there´s no reason you can´t do photography and construction! One day you can build an office or something along those lines for your photography business lol! Well, it looks like the life of a phtographer suits you. The photos you and Kyle take are amazing and they only get better with each photo shoot you take! Great job!!!

Omg! PS! I just realized the little reflection of them in the mirror in #12! How did you do that!? Crazy! So cool!

Re: Fotografia Santiago, Barrio Yungay| Manuel y Monica

gringagonesouth — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:47:59 -0000

Ohh awesome place! And can you believe I have never heard of that bar!!! Looks like I am going to have to go for a visit sometime! Love all the mirrors! Okay so my favorites are: #3 (the graffiti shot) so cool! I love Mauelos face in that one, he looks so bad ass ha ha! I love shot #6 with the mirros! The one on the chair #8, the reflection in #9, and the close ups in #13, and 19. I adore that light flare you do like in #19. It makes the photos look so dreamy and magical. Awesome work!

Omg!!! Love it!!! This couple blows my mind! I just love all the personal details they added to the wedding. It´s so funky and cool and you´re totally right, it really has that ¨Alice in Wonderland¨ feeling to it. The photos are just unreal and you captured the couples and their uniquness in such a creative way. These two look like a pair of models by the way. And I love the dress and bowtie!!!

Re: Househunting in Santiago

gringagonesouth — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 12:32:46 -0000

Wow! Congratulations!!! All that house hunting is finally paying off! I LOVE Bellas Artes! That´s actually one of the neighborhoods Felipe and I have been looking at. I just love Parque Forestal and it was the place I always used to go running the last time I lived there. I always dreamed of living on Monjitas or Merced or Ismael Valdes Vergara right infront of the park. So beautiful! But so freaking expensive! That´s great you managed to find something not too pricy! It´s definitely hard to do in that area! I can´t think of a more perfect neighborhood for you and Seba and your blossiming photography business. It´s so cute and artsy and trendy. How exciting that you are so close to getting a home of your own!!!

She's just in the process of figuring out a website right now. I'll keep you posted!

Re: Creative?

gringagonesouth — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:56:13 -0000

Hey, if you didn´t know you had your own style, I can confirm that you definitely do! Yesterday my mom and I were talking about her photography business that she is getting going (who by the way is also a fan of your work) and she was telling me about what she learned at this photography workshop over the weekend. She was talking about how important it was to find your own style and market that style to your customers etc...Then she said, ¨See, I have to find my own style, it´s important. Take Kyle for example, she definitely has a really distinct and unique style and every photo she takes you can tell that it´s hers.¨ Then we started talking about your style. So you see, you definitely have a style. A damn awesome one at that!

Oh my gosh Kyle...I can't even talk about favorites right now because I am just utterly blown away by this wedding...Wow!!!!!!!! I LOOOOOOVE IT!!! I cannot believe how original and unique this wedding was! I love their style and all their personal details! How in the world did they think of and do all of that!?! It really looks like it was a magical evening. I am in love the photos with the light streaming through, especially number 7 with the brides arms up in front of the window. So stunning. This wedding just blows my mind...can't get over it! Ah!

gringagonesouth — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 09:51:23 -0000

Aw. Well, even though I have favorites that really pop out at me in all your shoots, I absolutely love them all! It's always so hard to chose! Sometimes when I start commenting on which pictures I like the best I end up getting them all in there so now I'm starting to limit myself to just talking about 3-5 or else I would end up writing a whole post ha ha! But seriously, you're a genius. I love your work!

Re: Alanna y Andres|Fotografia Boda

gringagonesouth — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 09:59:21 -0000

My favourites: I Love the one of the bride in the window, it's such a classic photo. The one with the vows is incredible. That photo is charged with emotion. And the second last one is just stunning. The lit portions of their bodies forms a perfect heart shape. Did you mean to do that? Just beautiful!
