Papi corre como loca un la playa….

Como dice mi esposo, Anita y Alan son de la familia, “Los Waffles.” Waffle es el nickname del hermano de la Anita, y coincidentamente la primera pareja que nos contrato para fotografia su boda. Ellos son los culpables para todo esta locura, jajaja!!!! Anoche, hice un cocktail para celebrar nuestro primer ano del negocio y la Anita dijo que cuando el Alan le pidio matrimonio no sabia mucho de los planes de que queria hacer, pero que sabia que hubo una cosa segura — que nosotros lo ibamos a fotografiar. Me dio tanto gusto escuchar eso, porque la verdad es que ya nos sentimos como parte de la familia Waffle. De hecho, incluso fuimos a su casa para un almuerzo familiar antes de la sesion, jajaja!

Esta pareja, por decir algo en buen Chileno, “es para cagarse de la risa!” Los pasamos TAN bien fotografiandoles…la Anita no le gusta mucho que la fotografien y por eso siempre me intentaba arrancar pero al final logramos capturarla en todos sentidos de la palabra…para mostrarla tan bonita y llena de alegria como es.

Cuando hay gente que impide sacar la foto…go with it!

When there are people getting in the way…go with it!

Gracias al senor de la polera rosada por haber hecho un guest appearance en las fotos

Thank you to the gentleman in the pink shirt for making a guest appearance in the pictures.

Me encanta este momento, capturado de dos vistas distintas…

I love this moment, captured from two different views…

La vista de Seba:

Seba’s view:

Y mi vista:

And my view:

Jugar con sombras es mi juego favorito.

Playing with shadows is my favorite game.

La foto de la derecha fue inspirada en una foto que me saco el Seba en el techo de nuestro hotel en Turin, Italy y la foto de la izquierda es mi FAVORITA. Lejos! Fue la ultima foto de la noche y estoy demasiado feliz que paramos para, “solo una mas,” que es lo que yo deciendo en la ultima media hora de su sesion, jajaja!

The picture on the right was inspired by a photo that Seba took of me on our hotel roof in Turin, Italy and then the picture on the left is my FAVORITE. By far! It was the last picture of the night and I’m so happy that we stopped for “just one more,” which is actually what I had been saying for the last half an hour of the their session, hahaha!

As my husband says, Anita and Alan are part of the family, “Los Waffles.” Waffle is Anita’s brother’s nickname, and coincidentally was the first groom who hired us to photograph his wedding. So that couple is the guilty party for having started all of this insanity, haha!!  Last night I hosted a cocktail to celebrate our first year of business and Anita said that when Alan asked Anita to marry him she didn’t have a ton of plans and didn’t really know what she wanted to do except for one sure thing — that we would be her photographers.  I was so happy to hear that, because the truth is that we already feel like we’re part of the Waffle Family. Actually, we even went to have a family lunch with them and their parents before their session, haha!

And this couple, to say it in proper Chilean is “para cagarse de la risa,” aka absolutely effing hysterical. We had SO much fun photographing them. Anita doesn’t like having her picture taken and she kept trying to run away, but in the end we managed to capture her…in every sense of the word…to show her as beautiful and full of joy as she is.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out last night for our first annual cocktail. We held a little event to celebrate our first official year in business and the turnout was wonderful. I SO appreciated the presents of many of our past and present brides and grooms!

Cupcakes: Cupcake Mania

Venue: Akarana‘s Tapas Bar

Flowers: Seba’s mom (all bought from the Terminal de Flores, more on that below).

I asked Geraldine to make the cupcakes in our official colors, red and purple. They looked spectacular and tasted even better!

More on the Terminal de Flores — this is most of the florists in Santiago buy their flowers. We went to a florist who quoted us 35,000 pesos for ONE arrangement. We bought enough flowers for like 4 big arrangements, multiple small arrangements and bouquets and even the glass bowls and vases for about 40,000 total. The price difference is ridiculous. The red daisies were selling for 1,000 a piece in Recoleta, and at the Terminal de Flores went for 10 of them for 2,000 pesos. To get there — saliendo al norte de Santiago, take the Quilicura exit, address is Av. Presidente Eduardo Frei 1651.

And the best part of the night was the company. We get along so well with all our clients that I always assumed they would all get along with each other if for reason they ever met. And they did. Everyone was totally sociable and we had such a great night!

Thanks again to everyone who came, and to those who couldn’t make it — you were there in spirit!
