My Daughter's Graduation Cake

My daughter Amanda and her best friend Jaque are already planning their dual High School gradation party next year.  They gave me their design for their dream cake for the party.  So, being a good dad, I took their sketch to Denise Smith of My Daughters Cakes. Link right here  http://www.mydaughterscakes.com/

She was in the middle of a delivery and I just had to snap a few pictures of the awesome cake she made.  It was so beautiful.  What made this so special was the fact that it was a replica of the Brides grandmother's cake they had at their wedding years ago.

When I got home I imported the pictures into Lightroom and used Photoshop to isolate the cake.  I thought the light pink background worked well with the colors on this cake.

The graduation cake Amanda and Jaque designed will be a three tier round white cake. It will have alternating pink and green flowers, their favorite colors.  I'm sure Denise will do a great job. Can't wait to taste.

Enjoy!!

Winner!! Best Photographic Image

It's official.  The image of Joshua & Lena's wedding from last weeks blog post won Best Photographic Image at last nights ISES Annual Gala Awards.  It's called the VEIL photo. Nothing more romantic than a brides veil flying in the wind.

I photographed the ISES GALA so you can view more images right here www.bmadrid.zenfolio.com/isesgala2011

The theme for the night was Mad Hatter's.

A special thanks to Jackie Marko for here hard work and dedication as ISES president.  Her term ended last night and Christine Brower is now the president for the next year.

I'm trying to figure out where I should put this in my office.  A photograher's work space is never clean.  So my desk is out of the question as it is always cluttered with my current projects.

I'm sure I will be able to find a spot.

Here is a picture of me with now the current ISES president, Christine Brower. She took home three awards, one for Best Design & Decor and two for Best Member Collaboration.  If you want the best to plan and make your wedding a day to remember, check out Christine and here "Bling" team.
