Tan lines are very tricky to get rid of in Photoshop. They curve around the shoulders in such a way that it makes the process time consuming. So, I usually will only work on the ones where they are glaringly obvious and important.
There are a few things you can do to avoid tan lines:
- Use sunblock, lots of it. Or, stay out of the sun… but who really wants to do that!
- Make sure your swimsuit has the same cut as the wedding dress. This way you can tan and it won’t be obvious.
- Take a bronzing powder with you just in case. Bronzing powders won’t actually change the color of your skin… it’s more like a base that will match the tan lines to the surrounding area.
There you have it! A few simple things you can do to make your photographer’s life a little bit easier and s/he will love you for it.
Diane and Greg – Shortest wedding ever
Wow! This has to be the shortest wedding I’ve ever shot. The first image of Diane is at 5:05pm with 35sec and the last image of the ceremony was at 5:08pm with 1sec. To keep the wedding short they got straight to it… a poem, the vows and the kiss. Voila! Total ceremony time: 3min 34sec.
Diana y Juan – San Jose
I’m always flattered and excited when photographers hire me for their wedding. Diana is a photographer and so it was really important for her that the pictures weren’t short of spectacular. I was delighted to discover she had the church and ballroom painted with light.
There’s also a gallery on my Facebook Page. Find it in the Photos tab.

Erin and Abner – Mal Pais
A few weeks ago Marcia and I visited our friends Erin and Abner in Mal Pais on the southern tip of the Guanacaste peninsula next to Santa Teresa.
They are moving to the US and it may be a long time before we get to see them again. Marcia and I gave them a sweet-heart session so they could have some pictures of themselves in this beautiful place they’ve called home.
Monica and Tom – Manuel Antonio
“Wow! The pictures are fantastic!!! They’re exactly what we were hoping for – they look very natural, your composition is beautiful. The moments you captured are incredible, too!”
