Matt & Liz in Palmar

February 25, 2011 by tomslot

My friends: Liz and Matt are a couple of very young, yet very successful photographers from Panama. They invited me to the El Palmar beach on the Pacific cost of Panama to create their anniversary portrait.

Maria and Alvaro get married in El Valle, Panama

January 18, 2011 by tomslot

El Valle is a beautiful mountain town less than 3 hours drive from Panama City. Thanks to high altitude and proximity to the equator it is one of the few places privileged to enjoy spring  weather all year round.

I had a chance to visit el Valle accompanying Mathew Aftre of Lizzie Photography and to take photographs at a very colourful  Panamanian wedding.  Acting as a guest photographer I could skip the formal portraiture and focus on the most interesting part: wonderful fiesta and people’s emotions. I hope to be able to share at least a tiny  bit of the great time I was having there with my pictures!

Sandra lives in Los Angeles, California and is an author of a popular wedding blog. She wrote an enthusiastic article about my work more than a year ago.  Many months later I found the blog entry when looking for references to my website, it ended with the following paragraph:

My fiance & I are hoping to go to Paris for our Honeymoon & I’m toying with the idea of getting a photographer out there for an hour or two to take some amazing shots in front of the Eiffel Tower & what not…I hope I can find someone like Tomasz Slota out there!!!

Grateful for her help with promoting my work, I wrote Sandra that I could possibly come to Paris and cover her honeymoon trip.  Another couple of months and a dozen of emails later the idea materialized, here are the results:

J&D: Pre-Wedding Portrait Session in Prague and in Vienna

August 12, 2010 by tomslot

Jeanne and Desmond came from Hong Kong to attend their friend’s wedding in Budapest and they took the opportunity to take pre-wedding pictures in Prague and in Vienna. On the way we also stopped at the small town of Mikulov and took some snaps in there.

J & D are a fun couple to work with, I honestly envy the lucky photographer who will get to shoot their wedding in Hong Kong!

Big thanks to my assistants: Saneesh and Raifa for their contributions!

The make-up artists in Prague and in Vienna were Lucie Budinska and Alice Retzl respectively.
