Stansbury Island, with its rugged beauty and ethereal landscapes, provides the perfect canvas for capturing the essence of a modern-day Barbie adventure.

SNOWY MOUNTAINS , UTAH /  by Ricardo Quintana

Get ready for a heartwarming tale! Josh and Nate, two amazing guys, had their first date at a dog park. It went so well that they're getting married soon! On a chilly winter day, I met them for a photo shoot in the mountains. They were comfortable in front of the camera and embraced every suggestion. Josh owns an inclusive hair salon and barbershop, while Nate works in tech. Despite being polar opposites, they're finding common ground and growing closer. Let their story inspire you to embrace differences, support one another, and celebrate diversity.

CHERRY TREES IN SPRING, UT /  by Ricardo Quintana

The spring dream with the blossom cherry trees in Utah. Taking this pictures was such a fun experience, I loved spending the afternoon with Ariel and Daniela.

Outfit: I needed to write something about the outfits. This couple brought different options and I was able to guide and give them some input. I just love the tones they picked and how they matched perfectly with the landscape.

CHICAGO DOWNTOWN /  by Ricardo Quintana

This was the third time for me doing this tour, I just love the city of Chicago. Seeing it through my lens with Gabo and Jada was so much fun. We had a moody day with a bit of rain, despise that, we visited some of the landmarks of the city and, made a quick stop to get some burgers! I hope you can get a vibe of one of my favorite cities in USA.

BROOKLYN SUNRISE, NYC /  by Ricardo Quintana

I met Ricardo a couple of years ago, I took his graduation pictures for BYU . After that, we didn’t really keep in touch, until last year that I needed some shelter for some nights that I couldn’t find an affordable place to stay in NYC for a couple nights. Ricardo DM me over instagram offering his place for me to stay. At that time I was meeting a friend and shooting for New York fashion week, plus, I had a super important meeting with clients for another wedding in NYC. He was a lifesaver, we got to talk more about his work and life. He mentioned his girlfriend back then and, tells me that we might be talking in the future for engagement pictures and possibly the wedding.

When he finally got engage, btw,the guys got engage in Santorini … Yep. Ricardo contacted me for engagement pictures in NYC, I was so excited to travel over there again and have a half day experience with them in this beautiful city.

We decided to start at sunrise in the Dumbo area in Brooklyn and then in the Brooklyn bridge. After that, we finished the shoot in the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, both iconic and beautiful locations.

Last year, I finally had the chance to really get into phot-shoots who were not so much about the 1-2 hours shoot. Furthermore, is about the experience, experiencing the location, telling a story and making my clients comfortable enough to feel themselves. The day before this shoot, we went out shopping and picked their outfits and were able to familiarize with each other, plus talking about styling in a way that wasn’t intimidating but can help you feel more confident.
