Wow Marin, I love these! So stunning!! It was such a pleasure meeting you!

Nicole - March 22, 2011 - 9:28 am

Simple. Perfect. Absolutely breathtaking.

Minden Marie - March 22, 2011 - 9:31 am

Loved reading about the whole experience. Beautiful.

Kat - March 22, 2011 - 9:32 am

Marin…so proud of you. These images are wonderful. Fear is dumb, and I’m proud of you for walking right on past it. You are gifted!

Marisa - March 22, 2011 - 9:32 am

Wow! These are incredible–the colors are amazing!

katie zaboy - March 22, 2011 - 9:46 am

never say never!! isn’t film just beyond words?? what a great experience and beautiful images marin. I think it’s a natural road to take as an artist to go back to basics and to really challenge ourselves to trust our instincts (and let the digital preview training wheels go ;)

Emily Stone - March 22, 2011 - 9:58 am

LOVE. Great job with the film! The colors are beautiful.

Kevin Charlie - March 22, 2011 - 10:00 am

Marin – These are gorgeous! I’m secretly still afraid of film too – but every time I have rolls processed I’m always surprised and wonder why I’m not shooting exclusively film? I’m sure its a trust thing, just like you mentioned and I too still chimp the back of my film cameras! lol Great work and great meeting you!

Adina - March 22, 2011 - 1:49 pm

OMG I literally threw up these are SO Amazing!!!!! Marin, you rock. I CAN’T.

Aunt Kelly - March 22, 2011 - 2:17 pm

This was such a total pleasure to view and read……Very very Nice!

Heather E - March 22, 2011 - 3:35 pm

Marin, you blew this out of the water. I am so incredibly proud of you for pushing yourself like you did here. I am truly inspired.

Sierra Plumb-Stoddard - March 22, 2011 - 3:54 pm

Marin! Wonderful job. I’m taking a film class at solano and absolutely love the dark room experience. I’m always looking at your fb and blog to gain inspiration.

Jill La Fleur - March 22, 2011 - 4:08 pm

These are beautiful! I love the softness of your photos and love your viewpoint. Also like how you repositioned the cake. Nice job! I’m so glad you were able to be a part of the workshop! Keep in mind I have one coming up May 3rd with Jose that you may want to come back for! The information for it is at http://www.lafleurweddings.com/workshops. Love to have you there! xoxo

Stacie Frazier - March 29, 2011 - 8:52 pm

Marin, these are absolutely gorgeous! I applaud you for breaking out of your comfort zone and learning something new! Can’t wait to see what’s next from you! I attended Jose’s class at WPPI and found it to be the single most inspiring thing I did that entire week. I can only imagine what his workshop must have been like! So happy for you, girl!

chris cornwell - April 1, 2011 - 4:06 pm

Gorgeous of course!! I envy film colors… did you use your digital camera at all?

JOSE VILLA WORKSHOP // Sneak Peek

Every year I look forward to expanding my education by attending either a photography workshop or convention like WPPI. This year I decided to go outside of my “digital box” and embrace film at one of Jose Villa’s workshops near his home in the Santa Ynez Valley. He usually conducts only 2 workshops a year,...

Adina - March 20, 2011 - 6:16 pm

Wow, this is gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing more from this session.

Em - March 20, 2011 - 6:40 pm

Ahhhhh! So jealous. I want to go so badly. And this image is amazing girl!

Nicole - March 20, 2011 - 7:59 pm

Oh my goodness, what a killer dress. I cannot wait to see more of these.

Minden Marie - March 20, 2011 - 8:04 pm

Marin, what can I say? You have been blessed with so much talent from the Lord. This picture is so beautiful. From the girl to the sunset behind her, it’s simply breathtaking. I am so proud of you for going to this class, learning, and getting out of your comfort zone. I know God has great things in store for you and I cannot wait to see how He molds and shapes your future. I love you sweetie and I cannot wait to see the rest of these gorgeous pictures.

Trisha - March 21, 2011 - 12:43 am

Love it.

anouschka - March 21, 2011 - 7:58 am

this is so beautiful Marin! The look of film is just so different from digital, it’s amazing!

Marin Kristine - March 21, 2011 - 8:06 am

Thank you for all of the AMAZING comments on this image. I really appreciate all of your words… Anouschka, I have to agree with you. I captured some digital images as well while at the workshop (just in case nothing turned out good on film) and the colors are so much different. I cannot duplicate what I captured on film. I cannot mimic it’s warmth and color.

Mindy A - March 21, 2011 - 8:58 am

What an awesome, awesome experience and as always, beautiful Marin!

Kevin Charlie - March 21, 2011 - 4:09 pm

Absolutely LOVE the light in this image! Golden hour (and early mornings) are my favourite time of the day! Can’t wait to see the rest!

Aunt Kelly - March 22, 2011 - 2:01 pm

This is simply a piece of art in it’s purest form.
You Marin posses a God given gift to turn whatever
you see or touch into “gold.”
I’m excited to see you soar!!!!
U go Girl!!

Jill La Fleur - March 25, 2011 - 4:22 pm

These are stunning! You did a beautiful job-lighting, composition, the works! Thank you-it’s such a pleasure to it all captured so beautifully!

Chris and Kristine : A WEDDING RECEPTION

Chris and Kristine DesChamps were such a blast to capture this past fall in 2010, you should have seen them move and groove on the dance floor all night long! It was the best thing in the world, Katie Zaboy will testify to that along with me, because we were smiles all throughout the evening....

Beautiful reception pictures, I bet they loved them. I am loving the light you happened to capture in some of these.

I love how soft and romantic ALL of your images are Marin Kristine. They feel so sweet, beautiful, and filled with light. I cannot wait to get married (one of these days) and hopefully have you as my photographer.

katie - January 17, 2011 - 6:36 pm

Gerard - January 18, 2011 - 11:51 am

Nice Images , I really like the shot of the rings in the grapes…Good work!

Today and everyday

“Marry me, today and every day…” – as those words poured out of the radio (in the car just 10 minutes after their session) I was immediately covered in a blanket of goose bumps. How could this moment be any more perfect? I had never heard this song before, and the lyrics just captured my...

Heather Elizabeth - November 4, 2010 - 8:23 pm

Marin these are BEAUTIFUL!! I absolutely love every shot.

Mindy A - November 4, 2010 - 8:54 pm

Oh my, totally choked up. And then she gets teary in that one shot and I was a goner. Beautiful details. Congrats to them, 10 years and they look like they just fell in love. All over again. Wonderfully done Marin.

Tracy - November 4, 2010 - 10:16 pm

Marin, these are such lovely photographs. I think you captured their love and every raw emotion filled moment to perfection.

katie zaboy - November 11, 2010 - 11:02 am

These are just lovely Marin! How very sweet =)

Erica Ann - November 12, 2010 - 11:51 am
