When in Rhodes...

Our second wedding of the season took us to a little place called Lindos on the Greek island of Rhodes.

All we can say is that it was AMAZING!!!! The people were wonderful, the bride & groom looked stunning and Yaggi Photography had an absolute brilliant time.

Take a look through the photos below to see Jamie & Sabina's big day. The images really capture all of the love, laughter and fun that was had on their beautiful wedding day.

The getting ready stage

The golf buggy dropped Sabina & her dad off at the ceremony.

The Newlyweds

The group shots

We called these guys 'A Carton of Eggs'

First dance

Here is where the party really got going. Greek dancing and shots of Ouzo loosened everybody up.

 

 

 

A day or so after the wedding, we took Jamie & Sabina into the town of Lindos. They got back into their wedding gear and we had a wonderful photo shoot through the streets posing with the locals, climbing up to the Acropolis and making the most of all things Greek.

 

 

 Thanks Jamie & Sabina. We want to do it all over again and I'm sure you do too!

Nina Simone Tribute

(February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003)

Have a listen to Nina Simone as you browse our gallery...

A woman we always enjoy photographing is Akina Adderley, an Austin soul singer bringing elements of rock, funk and old r&b.

With the rest of her band, they form Akina Adderly & the Vintage Playboys.

   

 

All of the bands were full of energy and good vibes. Each group performed a few Nina Simone songs and then introduced some of their own music to the crowd.

Below is Brandon Badillo from Bemba Entertainment, promoter of this event.

Brandon threw a great show featuring so many talented artists. These performers really were absolutely amazing!

Another Nina Simone classic...

Next up was Pamela Hart accompanied by Dr James Polk on the piano.

Pamela Hart,

"Austins first lady of Jazz" and regarded as Austin's finest jazz vocalist.

 

Dr James Polk complimented Pamela's soulful voice by playing beautiful tunes on the piano.

Pamela Hart & Dr. James Polk were a great duo, bringing the audience to their feet for a standing ovation. 

Kat Edmonson, named "Austin's great jazz hope",  delivers a very relaxing and soothing style.

 

This band had a unique quirkiness about them, making them great fun to watch, listen & photograph.

Nina Simone has so many great songs, we have to play you another one...

 

At midnight Akina Adderly sung Happy Birthday to Nina Simone.

 
 

The next act was Bryce Clifford and Co.

They covered a few Nina Simone songs in their own funky style creating some really entertaining versions.

 

 The final act of the night was Blues Mafia.

They are the youngest professional blues/rock band around and they definitely rocked it!

 

  

The lead singer Sasha Ortiz has such an amazing, powerful voice.

Wow, what a brilliant tribute it was!

Each and every artist was amazing in their own unique style. They performed classic songs by the great Nina Simone with such grace and true talent.

Goodie Mob

Goodie Mob is a four man hip hop group from Atlanta, Georgia that has been performing together off and on since the year 1995.  

Goodie Mob's name is a backronym.  As explained on the track "Fighting" on Soul Food, Goodie Mob means "the GOOD DIE Mostly Over Bullshit".

If you've listened to the radio at any point within the last two years, it's certain that you have heard the song from the video below.  

The song features Cee-lo of Goodie Mob and producer Danger Mouse, which forms Gnarls Barkley. 

Cee-lo is pictured above and was without a doubt the highlight of the show.  Cee-lo performed the track "Crazy" at this show, which came as a shock to us as this isn't a Goodie Mob song. 

Have a listen...

Julian Marley & The Uprising

Julian Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley and Barbados-born Lucy Pounder, is a naturally talented musician, singer, songwriter, and entertainer. As you would expect, this tall, slender Marley is a devout Rastafarian whose music is inspired by life and spirituality. His positive messages are delivered throughout Awake, a thought-provoking album compiled on the Ghetto Youths International label. Recorded at the Lion’s Den in Miami, Florida, and Tuff Gong in Kingston, Jamaica, the music and message presented throughout Awake is inspired by all the family who have come before.

 

   
Julian Marley & The Uprising performed in Austin, TX at a great venue called Aces Lounge.  I've had the fortunate opportunity to photograph some big names in music at this multi-level venue, which allows for creative shots due to great angles and a staff that allows me to roam anywhere I please.

      

  Toward the end of the evening, Stephen Marley decided to join the party!

 

This backstage photo was by request of the band and is being used by Lance Armstrong's company, Livestrong. The photos can be found here.

It was such a great experience to meet and photograph Julian Marley & The Uprising.

I have always been a huge fan of reggae music. The soulful beats, lyrics and positive energy the music produces never fails to catch my attention.

It was a night filled with brilliant music, good vibes and an energetic crowd.
