Calle de Los Muertos // Day Of the Dead - Oaxaca, Mexico People always ask us what we prefer: Wedding or Street Photography and it is an easy decision for us.

La Luz Cambiante // The Changing LightLast week we took a little time out to visit some friends now living in Mallorca and had a fantastic week catching up with old friends and making some new ones.
