Where have I been, and with who....... ?
I have been to an amazing Wedding in Italy with one of my best friends and two of the US's best know celeb photographers. !!
Reason, well safety in numbers and success comes from surrounding yourself in realiable, trustworthy friends.
We worked hard and late, but boy did we have fun and got some quality time to persue a dream of ours in Florence itself. 
All this before the Wedding !

First we needed cars, Italian in style and size to ensure we zipped around the towns
Ray's car......
Mike's car.......

Bob squeezing into Mike's car ......
We drove to the most amazing venue and checked in.......... wine, olives, grapes, cypress conifers

Tuscan terracotta walls......
Our passion apart from Nikon and Apple is PANERAI, the Italian watch maker. History, style, Unique movements and limited watch productions make this almost a cult. Guess which watch is whose ??...
Which led us to our dream location, the PANERAI  original store from 1890 and the Museum integrated into the store where every watch since 1936 is displayed. Awesome and the give- aways were well worth the trip.
I have limited ability to show the party and Wedding shots but just as a small sampler this is a fountain of Vodka in the courtyard. !!! Check out Ray Santana , Mike Colon and Bob Davis blogs for more fun imagery and some approved shots.
and of course no Wedding in Italy is complete without the godfather shots !!!
