Wow, I had the greatest time second shooting for [b] e c k e r in Aspen at the Roaring Fork Club (well, just outside of Aspen in Basalt)!!! The bride was so easy going and beautiful I could not stop shooting once I met her.
Being Becker’s second shooter is a huge privilege, I was able to learn so much from him; even though I’ve been shooting the [b] School blog with him since last year. Vu Bui, my brother, also went to Aspen and shot lots of great stuff for the [b] School over the weekend.
Becker is an amazing person to work with; he is fast, fun, friendly, and most of all, loved by everyone he shoots. Anyone he is shooting just lights up when he talks to them and it really shows in his images. Just follow this link to see what I’m talking about.
The florist who did the arrangements did a wonderful job. Everything was so clean and beautiful.
Hit & Run Bluegrass Band played live music and everyone had a blast with them. I’m going to be sure to buy one of their CDs because I know Bonny will love the music.

Here is a nighttime photograph I took on a tripod of the Roaring Fork Club.
The glow in the distance is the small town of Basalt, CO.

Today was a pretty busy day, even though we only intended to go to one place.
We started the day out lazily by sleeping in until 11:00am. Got up and asked our tour sales guy, Victor, if he could get us to Chitzen Itza; unfortunately the tour left at 7:00am. We ended up renting a car [...]
Today Bonny and I had a very awesome time at Xcaret, Mexico. Think Disneyland in Mexico with a Mayan, jungle and Caribbean theme. It was way one of the best experiences we have had.
The best part for me was when we went swimming in underground rivers and swimming in the jungle. This is just a [...]
Not much today, mostly relaxing for tomorrows wedding. I can’t go getting killed or getting stranded somewhere right before the wedding now can I?
Basically we woke up really late, went to eat, went swimming, then had a fancy dinner.
Above is another bit of video from our day 2 in Cancun, Mexico. We got to go kayaking, meet a monkey, and go on a pirate cruise!
I’d also like to write (type) about what made it possible for me to be here. I am here for work…
Without Bonny, I don’t think I’d be able to [...]
Wow! Cancun is so awesome!
Here is a quick video (30 seconds) recap of our day. We got to see the beautiful beach and water, walk around a bit of Mayan ruins, see some wildlife and go swimming.
We still have not gotten in touch with Aaron (I’m shooting the wedding on Sunday with him) so hopefully [...]

Those night shots with the stars are absolutely unreal. I live and shoot in Colorado and I’m just waiting for the day when I get to do a wedding in Aspen (or Basalt for that matter!). You did an amazing job and I’m glad you were able to have fun with Becker!

I’m Sandy’s aunt (Chris Stulik’s sister). Sadly, I was unable to attend the wedding, but your amazing photographs captured Sandy’s spirit, and the entire
mood of the wedding. Artistically — just awsome. Thanks for making it seem like I was there.

Hey, also got here via Becker’s blog - these are fantastic! I also love the long exposure shots of the stars but also the way you find different angles and viewpoints for images. Stunningly beautiful!
