Santiago de Compostela is the most magical and enchanting place I have ever been to. It is full of history and is most famous for the final destination of the pilgrimage of St. James. Pilgrims come from all over the world to make the great trek and see this place, which is absolutely worth the journey! It's a place of leisure and where Jesus, just might literally pass you in the street! The scenery is breath-taking and I couldn't believe we were getting the opportunity to photograph in such a gorgeous location!
Matt and Faith of Capture Studios met up with us on this portion of the trip, since Matt offered his services as well for this year's wedding giveaway! It was fantastic to spend time with them and also experience this new place together! We also met our new friend, Leslie, who use to live in Santiago and ended up being our personal tour guide / translator / life-saver! We spent much of our free time exploring the city and scouting out sweet locations for Tara and Jorge's wedding!!
Here are some personal photos I took along the way!
I promise, the next blog post will be of this amazing wedding!! I've already gone through my initial edit and I'm absolutely in love with them...they do deserve a big-screen-edit, instead of my little laptop, so it will be a couple days!
Until then, enjoy Santiago!
LOVEe

The first stop along this trip was to Barcelona! I loved this city! It's a place where bicycles, mopeds and long-boarding are a way of life. The atmosphere is quite chill and it's actually really hard to tell who the locals are vs tourists. Barcelona is almost a mix of many cultures, but most of all I noticed how romantic it was. Not really in the lovey-romantic-sense, but there is a sexiness about the people and culture that is so free that it is liberating. The people here live their lives for their family and friends - they don't live to work, which is a major malfunction in our society.
It's refreshing to see people enjoying the beach during a Siesta...just sayin'...I could get use to that!
Where there is history, there is culture.
Where there is culture, there is art.
Where there is art, there is passion.
Where there is passion, there is romance.
Where there is romance...
More photos from Spain to come!

(07.15.10 @ 02:49 PM)sorry for the post over and over, it kept giving me an error. what about the copyright of the song?
(07.15.10 @ 02:57 PM)Ok, so your wanting to be professional photographers, tell me, would you be mad when someone steals your pictures for their own use.
I ask because you seem to have no problem stealing from a popular band.
Don't worry, I work with them daily, I will go ahead and let them know, I sure they will have no problem with you stealing from them.

I have tears in my eyes. You must think i am crazy, but i feel somehow connected through your images, even tho i haven't been there. Have you been there before this? I am sure you felt a definate connection to the visual and tactile art all around u as an artist you must have been in heaven. I am truley amazed....thank you for sharing your gift!
