This weekend is the beginning of a new life adventure for Matt and I. When we first meet he was living full time in Atlanta, and I spent quite some time in that house. We bought our first home in the states, not in the big city... but in a gorgeous lake that is located 2 hours from Atlanta, Lake Martin.

We have been pretty much traveling back and forth from "Casa del Sol" in Playa del Carmen, to Atlanta, specially Matt, who has been shooting weddings in the states this season too.

This weekend we are moving out from Atlanta to Alabama... I love the south and their lovely people!.. We got married (the legal part) there and we hope to have new adventures and happiness in this new home.

I will post photos when we settle.. we will spent part of our summers there and holidays... but we will be most of the time in Playa del Carmen.

Being married is amazing!, and it seems that new adventures are coming all the time!


Please be patience with us, we are getting tons of inquires and it's hard to keep up in the middle of this, hopefully next week we will be all fixed up at the lake, and we'll get back to everybody that has email us.

Have a fabulous weekend! we'll be on the road!!!

This entry is about a wonderful wedding I photograph last April at one of the most beautiful and unique places in the Riviera Maya Hotel Esencia .

This boutique hotel is located in the best beach around, and everything about it is so perfect... like paradise..

On top of it, everybody is so nice, that I have to say, I love love this place!!

Rubi & Shane's wedding was held at the garden, it was a very special ceremony, Rubi is latino and many of her family members where here, Shane is from the US, and see how two families from different cultures can merge so nice is really great.

Del Sol Photography - Sol Tamargo - Riviera Maya wedding

I just received an email from April, a bride that Matt and I photographed last Feb 2nd 2007.

"Sol & Matt,

Two and a half weeks ago I had to do something that no daughter ever should have to do... I had to prepare the photos of my Dad for his memorial service. My Dad passed away on May 30. It was very sudden, unexpected, and completely devastating. Some of my favorite photos of my family and friends were taken by you at our wedding, as I'm sure is the case with many brides. But now those photos take on a whole new significance. I've always felt lucky to have such gorgeous images from my wedding. Now I also feel blessed to have such beautiful memories of my Dad. I can't thank you both enough for that.

Sorry to contact you on this note, but I felt compelled to let you know how grateful I am. Your talent still amazes me. I've been keeping up w/ your blogs. Flashflavor rocks. I'm so happy for you both for all your success... it's very much deserved.

Abrazos,
~April"



With tears on my eyes I'm posting this images that mean so much in this moments

Our job as wedding photographers it's a serious responsibility , in our hands and cameras relies the power to capture images like this, that will be a family legacy for the future,and a very important way to remember those that we love the most that one day will be gone from our side.

April, we love you., from the bottom of our hearts we send you and your family our deepest condolences., your dad was a very sensitive men that adore you, and this images prove how much you meant to him.

Thanks a lot for sharing your life with us. We are touched.













Mr. Gerges, we honor your memory and will remember you forever

If you have a kid in your life you'll know how cool they can be. This is my little sister Carla, and she is the queen of the funny faces.., she wants to be an artist, like an actress or a model, so she's practicing all her funny faces..

I looove her!!!

Vanessa & Wes had their wedding at Moon Palace and the next day we did a "Trash the Dress"... in this kind of sessions the stress of the wedding is over, is all about enjoying each other, have fun and let me shoot some art.

Of course is not all about the photogapher and the camera, the main ingredient is LOVE and the easy going personality that is down for anything in the name of art.

We went to a beach that is pretty well located next to a "junglish" area , so we have a dynamic session combining the 4 elements:

FIRE for LOVE!
EARTH - as they lie in the floor merging with the dry leaves under a tree
WATER - Of course we went for a swim!
And WIND - that graciously play with the dress and veil..

Isn't it awesome??



I climb a tree to get this angle, the wind was moving the branches where i was standing, I was holding my breath.. so worth it!!





































Vanessa's huge smile say it all!!
