Freshwater jellyfish at the Lake
08.29.2009 in Main, Video, Video, Adventures | by Matt Adcock

I've just started seeing these little guys in freshwater here on Lake Martin in Alabama. In the summer, we come to our place here to get away from high heat and hurricanes in Playa del Carmen. The weather is so nice and the water is perfect temperature. These jellies are found near the surface in the morning and later in the afternoon. They are about the size of a quarter, tiny and to my knowledge, harmless.

We put together the music in Garageband and edited down a little over 1 minute worth of footage outlining the adventure of the jellyfish hunt. No jellies were harmed in the making of this movie :)

Here's another great Trash the Dress Cenote session.

This has become a passion for us, and we are putting all our heart and soul to make these sessions different every time.

I like to think this is "fairy tale" photography... it's real, but it looks "unreal" it's magic!!

Underwater imagery is quite an accomplishment, Matt has developed really good aquaman skills, and he is the best coaching the couple on what to do.

Vincent in Toronto
08.28.2009 in Adventures, Main | by Sol Tamargo

Vincent took a short vacation, after spending a few days with us at the Lake Martin, he flew to Toronto., his first time in that amazing city!

His report was that he had a wonderful time, meet a lot of great people and ate in so many different cool restaurants.., I'm jealous!!

Many of our couples are Canadian and we wish we could visit that wonderful country.. maybe in the future..

Here are 3 pics that Vincent sent us.. hopefully we can get more later.. Or even better.... Matt and I can go visit!

Niagara Falls

And here's Vincent., I wonder how may broken hearts he left in Toronto.. :)

A night view of the city., amazing!!!..

Good times at Lake Martin
08.25.2009 in Adventures, Main | by Sol Tamargo

Matt and I have been spending a few weeks at our second home, Lake Martin Alabama. Last week Vincent came for a few days to visit., we had a good time.., but let me tell you... entretain a French young guy, its not easy.., he has lots of energy!.. good for shooting weddings I guess...

making me breakfast.. :) the bad part: I had to clean...

It's raining dogs and cats outside.. and where is Vincent??? Outside!!

He went to rescue our ball.. very nice...

Capitan Vincent, driving the boat

Capitan Guero... having a good time..

And "Los Clavados"

Vincent's style

Matt's free style

Sol's style.. definitively the best!..

Matt is great skiing and he had to show us the style..

This is Phil, who also has a great style..

Now, my turn to get in the water.., last year I tried to sky and didn't make it.. I just hit my face and drank half the lake.. I was affraid., but this time I had a personal couch with me in the water.. my guero!

He explained the technique step by step.. he is a great teacher!

I made it!!!!

My coach is proud of me..

I'm skiing for the first time!!

Whohooo!!!

I Love my coach!!!

Vicent didn't want to do it.. , but after seeing me, there was no way to back out..., Matt also coach him in the water..

And he did it!!

Awesome!!

After the skiing we ride the tube,.. lots of fun!

From the lake, Vincent traveled to Toronto, to spend a few days discovering the city life.. a new post with his adventures coming soon..

The next day after the wedding we went off for the trash the dress session.

I'm shooting outside while Matt, the "aquaman" is getting ready for the underwater mission..

Sol's photos. Color on the cenote walls is one of my favorite things to do., it's has become part of "Del Sol Trash the Dress Style"

Aquaman is ready... Shooting underwater is a huge challenge, not only because we shoot in manual mode, holding our breath, and the camara is inside of a housing., but also "coaching" the couple on what to do to get a good shoot is not easy. It takes even more time to get only a few good shoots, than the time I spent shooting outside the water. I got the easy part this time.

After the cenote we went to have lunch to a beach restaurant

Thanks Manny and Melissa for giving us the chance to enjoy our job at the best!
