Today is a big day for #Fujifilm and #GFX camera users. 645 film photography has been a defining element in development of my photographic style and vision, with the release of the #FujifilmGFX line of cameras, I was finally able to start to meaningfully bridge the gap between my film work and my digital work... now, with the announcement of the 80mm f/1.7 WR this morning, that gap has become so narrow that the space between the two mediums is indistinguishable. I am so excited that @fujifilmx_us tapped me to be part of this product launch. Having this incredible lens in my hands for the last two and a half months has been an absolute dream. Pardon me for the next couple days while I flood your feed with images I created with this piece of glass. @bloombabes @fujifilmx_us @fujifilm_northamerica @taylorsaxelby @adamzoharbridal #myfujifilmlegacy 
When @taylorkinziephoto walked into my life I was a broken person. But I knew that she was special. I knew I couldn’t let go. She didn’t try to fix me, she didn’t pressure me, she didn’t do anything other than love me and show me patience. She showed me what an intentional life looks like. She lifted me up and supported every single one of my crazy ideas. She admired me and cheered on every success. Over these past 3 years I have grown closer to the person I have always known myself to be, but wasn’t able to show. This is because of Taylor. I owe her everything. So, in the spirit of the intentionality she has shown me. I came up with an elaborate plan. Complete with a ballerina, a roof top, her birthday, a custom video, all of her friends, all of her family, my family, a famous singer, our song, and a ring. I’ll share more details later, but right now we are just enjoying our little moment of bliss... together. I couldn’t possibly feel more loved and fulfilled. I love you @taylorkinziephoto. I am so elated to call you my #fiance. There were SO many people that helped this plan go off with out a hitch... I know I will forget someone’s name. But thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. You made the end of 2020 so very special for us. @gregoryross @thejewelprincess @megan.elyse.wilcox @londonwehoevents @krisvonrieter @leomorgs @thelondonweho @mileswittboyer @currentfilms @kishi_bashi Greg, thank you so much for these images. You are a brilliant artist and an amazing friend in the truest sense of the word. We love you. #shesaidyes #iasked #engaged #engaged💍 #engagementring #ringsofinstagram

One of the perks of being a @fujifilmx_us #Xphotographer is getting to try new gear weeks before it is announced... and sometimes you fall in love with that gear. The #x100V was no exception. It hasn’t left my sight since it arrived on my doorstep. When Fujifilm launched the first x100 back in 2011 it found a home in the bags of professionals and everyday shoots alike, and garnered a loyal and passionate following. Some might say it put fujifilm on the map as a true digital camera manufacturer. Since then the camera has gone through 4 evolutions, with this latest release being the 5... and they pulled out all the stops with this one. Not only does it hold true to the heritage and retro design of the series, but has new features that put it on par with my day to day professional rigs. I would honestly feel comfortable shooting a whole gig on this lil powerhouse. . Beyond all the fancy new features like the improved AF, flippy screen, new lens, and new sensor, there is something else amazing about the x100V. . This camera begs to be shot. It’s just one of those things that you want to hold in your hands, and inspires you to create. You will fall in love with the x100V. It will remind you want it means to record images of your life in a meaningful way. . #fujifilm #x100V #myfujifilmlegacy #fujifilmxphotographer 
Mike stood there in silence with his eyes firmly shut. His hands clasped in front of him, and his head bowed... similar to standing in prayer. As I set my exposure and composed my shot, I saw him take a long inhale. Simultaneously, Amy was making her way across the ancient volcanic rock that laid beneath both of their feet. As her footsteps came into earshot, you could see the change in Mike’s body language. His posture straightened, his eye brows raised slightly, but his eyes remained closed. Waiting. Waiting for a moment that would only happen once in his life. Amy stopped about ten feet in front of him. Adjusted her gown. Took a breath, and said his name. . The moments that followed belong to them, and that’s how they will remain, but it ended in this embrace. . An embrace to end one season of their lives together and an embrace to begin another. . This image was shot on a @fujifilmx_us and #gfx50r. . #myfujifilmlegacy #fujifilmcreator #fujifilmxphotographer #fujfiilmgfx #adamzohar #mikemorin #bride #stylishbride #hawaiiwedding #turtlebay #oahuweddingphotographer #weddinggown #lookslikefilm #llf #fineartweddingphotographer #filmisnotdead #romantic #romanticwedding #volcano #lavarock #bridesmaidsdress #engaged #wereengaged #shesaidyes #luxurywedding #luxuryweddingplanner #firstlook #brideandgroom #tuxedo 
“Okay, now smell her ear.” . I often get asked if I do a lot of posing with my brides and grooms, or if my clients all just know what to do. In truth it’s a mixture of both. When I look at an image from the past it brings backs all of the sensations, feelings, and emotions of the moment. I want the same thing for my clients. I don’t ever want them to look at a picture and think “oh, hey, that’s when the photographer told us to stand super funny.” What I want to create is connection point with the moment they were in, the people they were with, to bring them back to a season of their life that has passed, and the emotions they felt. To accomplish this, I always start out with positioning my clients in the best light, giving them a little instruction and then let them wiggle a bit, have a little laugh, or just plain give them a moment of peace... so they can make that instant their own. It’s amazing what happens in those moments. It’s amazing the things you remember when you look back at those photos and remember the biggest day of your life.... and I promise you won’t even remember me telling you to smell each other’s ears. ;-) .

Perfect isn’t always perfect. This photo is out of focus, there’s no faces showing, the shutter was too slow, and the composition isn’t correct... and still, it is perfect. Something about it grabs me every time I look at it. It inspires thoughts and feelings of togetherness and movement towards something in less-than-perfect conditions. It’s easily one of my favorite images from 2019. Perfect in it’s imperfection. . #lagunabeach #beachengagementphotos #beachphotography #stonecoldfox #engagementphotos #wereengaged #fineartphotography #filmisnotdead #goodlightpresets #bridesmaids #theknot #loverly #lookslikefilm #destinationwedding #weddinginspo #stylishbride #engagementphotos #whattowearforengagementphotos #engagementring #sunset #weddingphotos #weddingvenue #luxurywedding #luxuryweddingplanner #bride #bridetobe .

It feels like 2020 crept up on me with out a warning.... Today I’m headed out to shoot my first editorial of the new year today; a special top-secret project with @fujifilmx_us. In the meantime, I wanted to share some images of the gorgeous @lo_lavin from my recent shoot for the release of @captureonepro 20. Her gown is from @jaclynjordanny, and the exquisite florals are by my good friend @navafloral. Shot on the amazing #gfx100. #fujifilm #captureonepro #nycwedding #jacklynjordan #bridestyle #stylishbride #brunettebride #lacetop #twopieceweddinggown #sleeves #weddingflorals #romantic #wedding #loftwedding #brooklynwedding #brooklynbride #nycweddingphotographer #myfujifilmlegacy #dirtybootsmessyhair #mastinlabs #mediumformatdigital #mediumformatweddings #fineartweddingphotographer #artisanatelier @livewellbylo
