Photographers and models wanting to beef up their portfolios recently met in Naples for a fun photo shoot. From the article:
Each of the models was set up at a “station” on the church grounds, along the lake shore, under the gazebo, or in the woods along Unity’s meditation walk. It made for a somewhat surreal experience, to stroll through the thick vegetation and, every 50 feet or so, encounter another gorgeous girl dressed for the altar.
The “brides,” plus additional models wearing long prom dresses rather than wedding gowns, remained at their stations, while the photographers rotated around the area, to be able to capture shots of each. Photographers paid $50 for the session; the models weren’t paid monetarily, but received photos from each shooter to help build their portfolios.
Elias Rodriguez is your typical 10-year-old boy, except for the fact that he recently started his own photography business.
From the article:

She worked in the library at Point Loma Nazarene University where they both attended; he would come in and checkout scholarly books to impress her. She agreed to a date and two and a half years later, they were married.
So how did a biology-chemistry major and a literature major become the dynamic San Diego-based wedding-photographer duo? It all started when Jeff’s dad handed his ten-year-old son a camera.
