Matt and I just came back yesterday night from a speedy travel to Boston, where we photographed Jamie & Melissa's wedding.. (to come soon...) We had only 1 afternoon to walk around the city., we went downtown and just wonder around.

I had my little point and shoot.. to be honest I was feeling very tired and not in the mood to photograph everything in a creative artistic way., so these images are shoot (I just learned this new slang word..) "from the hip"... jaja!...

Apparently we ended in one of the most historic and famous places in Boston, the Union Oyster House, I have heard so many things about the "maine lobster" that we had to try

We LOVE to travel, and really are looking forward to this weekend, when we leave for Florida and then Colorado, only to have some family fun time... no shooting weddings at least for a couple of weeks.. yeay!!

After a couple of years of hard work, we came to a point were help was needed to keep our sanity, and of course provide the best service to our clients.

Matt and I decided that we needed a Studio Manager, and after searching for months for the perfect person, we found Melissa Mercado., and she is moving to Playa!

Here are a couple of photos (from my little point and shoot) from her arrival 4 weeks ago...

We are lucky to have found such a wonferful and talented person (she's also a great photographer!!) to join our team.

So finally we are in the path to devote our selves to the shooting part, that we love the most! and Melissa is in charge of all the email inquires, contracts etc...

Wondeful morning!

Wow, we are so excited to make this list. Not only have we drooled and followed the work of the other photographers listed in previous years, we have really idolized some of them. We are elated and totally humbled to be selected.

What does this mean? We really love our job. We really love our clients and go to ALL ends to meet expectations. Being recongnized by American Photo this year is really icing on the cake to the wonderful season we have been having! We are excited for an awesome 2009 and thank our wonderful clients for trusting the del Sol Vision.

Cheers to the other 9 photogs!
