For any couple looking to plan an eco-friendly wedding, or for photographers looking for some yummy “green” eye-candy – check out New York Times Style correspondent, Mireya Navarro’s, new book, “Green Wedding: Planning Your Eco-Friendly Celebration” I am so thrilled to have my photography featured in this new book, which showcases some of the most scrumptious wedding details I’ve ever laid eyes on. I highly encourage you all to check it out!

Every once in a while I like to share an album on my blog. My amazing bookbinder, Finao,
recently started to offer 20×8 panoramic albums. That’s 20 inches
wide, by 8 inches high when the book is closed and a full 16×20 print
when it is open! I thought it sounded like a cool challenge and the
amazing Patrick and Jen were nice enough to indulge me and allow me to
switch the album in their package for this very interesting form-factor.
It
was a very difficult challenge to design this book, but I think it’s so
unusual that I wanted to share it with you all! To see the complete album, click here!

Oh my goodness. Beautiful wedding. Beautiful pictures. Beautiful couple. That bride has the most gorgeous eyes ever. I love it!
What an awesome couple, with an awesome location. Perfect for your album testing! Lovely.
gorgeous wedding and stunning album – love the cool format. i think you did an amazing job with the design.
Stunning. Stunning. Simply stunning. Oh, did I mention, I think the photos are stunning.
Beautiful layout, as well.
Chenin … what a timeless beauty this album is — I’m sure it will be treasured for generations to come. It’s so nice to see a couple with some personal style; and it’s especially nice to see how you captured it so perfectly!
Out of all the blogs I read, this is hands down my very favorite wedding of the year. Such depth and soul. Beautifully shot.
Beautiful…I would love to work with a wedding such as this….the colors of the brick and greenery are so yummy! I especially love the song that plays along with the slideshow…would you share what it is?
You are an excellent photography and the photos are delightful. I understand the design challenges you faced with the new panoramic 20×8 album layout, however, your layouts could use a bit more designer touches to give it a more polished look which would make your photos pop even more than they do.
Chenin…I don’t think this album needs ANY improvements….IT ROCKS. It’s classic, timeless and beautiful as well as the song that accompanies it. Unlike Marc, I feel that any other ‘designer touches’ would be distracting. It takes an artists eye, which you clearly employ, to allow negative and positive space to empasize the beauty of the subjects, their color and visual texture. Thanks for sharing!
This is just beautiful! The layouts are really unique — I love the way you spaced each of the images.
Amazing album design with amazing pictures – seriously really great album!
Absolutely amazing. WOW.
I’ve been dying to shoot a wedding at marvimon house, you killed this. what a gorgeous couple and I love your use of tilt shift, so classic!
BEAUTIFUL!!! So Simple – the images are stunning!
Love the simplicity. Beautiful work Chenin!
Love the simplicity. Beautiful work Chenin!
Love, love, love this album! Everything about it. The layout, the location, the adorable bride and groom! It looks amazing.
Wow! I LOVE it! My favorite is of the bride with the black background. Could have been taken in any time era. Beautiful!
This is absolutely gorgeous!!! I especially love the big portrait of the stunning bride against the black. You were obviously very connected to and inspired by this wedding and it shows in your elegant work. This is an album that will always be classic and beautiful. What an heirloom for the couple. Just gorgeous, thank you for sharing. Love the way you present your work as well the gallery is fantastic.
Wow, I can see why you are rated amongst the best!!! You put such patient detail into each picture and yet you cover so many weddings! Amazing! Keep up the fabulous job
