Been a while since I've had enough free time to browse around the site (love the new banner up top) but I've met a lot of friends here over the years so I thought it might be a good time for an update
Lilyana Lovela & I became engaged to be married on April 4, 2012.
Lilyana is founder and sole owner of LIVE MODELS, Florida’s largest network of freelance fashion professionals with over 2,300 models, photographers, Makeup Artists, Stylists, and designers state wide.
I’m a Fashion, Commercial, & Advertising Photographer and senior partner at Gold Coast Studio in Hollywood, Florida.We’ve known each other professionally for several years passing by through our industry connections, events, and shoots until late February of this year. Finally, we had the opportunity to work on an Old Hollywood themed shoot together that we both always wanted to do but could never find the right co-creator or time. After a 5 hour shoot at the studio and a very long dinner we came to realize how much we have in common in our interests, life experiences, beliefs, and dreams for our future. We were amazed and delighted to discover the true essence of each other that had been hidden behind so many of the misconceptions which plague our industry. We’re currently planning a June 2012 wedding.
