Christian y Silvia (los pichinguitos)  en mi BLOG finalmente. Para los que conocemos su historia, es una felicidad de que este dia finalmente ha llegado. Muchas felicidades y mis mejores deseos.

Para sus fotos de compromiso, ellos querian una onda mas moderna y encontramos el edificio perfecto, "The Natural History Museum" en Salt Lake.

MOUNTAIN FORMALS, UT /  by Ricardo Quintana

This couple killed it! We started on time and ready to get to Albion Basin in little cottonwood canyon.  After a couple of minutes their car overheated so we had to hitchhike to my car. Then,  my car decided to just turned off, seriously, it just happened, my car was in the shop the day before and it was all good.  We had to wait for a couple of minutes and even a small prayer I turn on my carand drove it at 5 mph. We finally got to an awesome location, not what we had planned but, everything worked out beautifully and I think it was mainly for the amazing attitude Ryan and Cat had during the whole shoot, so upbeat, positive, and full of energy!

 

Suggested song "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys.

I was dying to post this set! I felt so happy the day they asked me to take their bridals, I mean, look at this stunning couple! Plus, they are looking their sharpest, Melissa looks like a Goddess with the flowers and details on her head and,  KB could be in a GQ magazine with this slick suit of his own brand. 

For this shoot we did first look and then bridals.

Song suggested XO by Beyonce but I'm actually listening Mine by Beyonce and Drake ha.

Dress: Fantasy Bridal Ut

Flowers: Flower Patch Utah

Suit: Kenneth Boggs Suits

Update: This shoot was published by Aisle Perfect Magazine.

UTAH STATE CAPITOL FORMALS /  by Ricardo Quintana

This weekend was the fabulous wedding of this amazing couple and, I couldn't be more happy to have been chosen as their photographer.  Erika and Christian are such a cool laid back couple and should I mention that they are both seriously attractive!  I've been at the capitol many times and every time I go there I'm always amaze of how beautiful this building is.

What a pleasure to take pictures of friends!!! These I took in  October and I'm already missing the warmer weather and more sunsets. Anyway! Laurita is one of my best friends and I had the privilege to help her to look for the wedding dress which once you watched this pictures you will realized how beautiful it is. 

FEELS LIKE SUMMER - CORA /  by Ricardo Quintana

Cora feels like Summer, flowers, green and sunlight.  One more time we team up with Cora, this time just a laid back shoot in some garden and it is pure magic! Cora is only 15 years old and, she totally looks 15 in person but, in front of the camera she can transform to what ever the camera asks. She is also an actress and singer. Currently she juggles from school to two musical and other projects, kids nowadays! Can't wait to see what the future holds for this amazing teen.

GOLDEN GATE, SAN FRANCISCO /  by Ricardo Quintana

I love going with Pablo and Karen around the city and taking pictures. We did get full rain the whole weekend but, see for yourself the results!

Ahora describiré el resto esto en español, Pablo es mi hermano y Karen mi cunada. Este fue un viaje que planificamos por el cumpleaños de mi hermano, Karen tuvo la brillante idea de contratarme para poder realizar una sesión de fotos en San Francisco. Personalmente quise ir una milla extra y tomar fotos durante la mayor parte del viaje ya que considero que San Francisco tiene lugares hermosos. Fue un agrado poder salir con mi cámara y tener a estos dos modelos! Dentro de los lugares que visitamos son El puente de San Francisco, muelle 39, el museo de Arte de SF y un pequeño bar donde escuchamos bossa novva para el dia de su cumpleaños.   Espero que puedan conocer un poco mas de esta ciudad y de esta increible familia a traves de estas fotos.

Ronny + Jose /  by Ricardo Quintana

Ronny is from Colombia, he is a superb photographer. I had the chance to take pictures of him and his partner Jose from Spain, both now currently living in a cool apartment in downtown Santiago - Chile. I got to say that in home shoots are the bomb, maybe is not always the best light but the ambiance and the intimacy that creates this scenery is the best. We played some cool and mellow music and started in their living room, the balcony and then to their room, that kind of flow is what I just enjoyed so much about in home shoots, so personal and unique for each family and couple. These two were fantastic, so natural and comfortable with each other-pure joy.

This set is one of the couple of shoots Ihadduring my two weeks visiting Chile.
