Monte Zucker, in memoriam

It is with great sadness that we inform you that Monte Zucker, M.Photog.Cr.Hon.M.Photog., of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, passed away March 15, 2007 from pancreatic cancer.

Just the mention of Monte’s name inspires memories for many professional photographers. Scores have studied under and modeled their careers after this legendary photographer. He redefined wedding photography and his posing and lighting techniques are part of basic photography lessons.

But more than that, his love for life and people carried through in his work and teachings, leaving behind everlasting footprints in the hearts of those who knew him. Despite the sorrowful news of his illness, Monte never let it slow him down or hamper his spirits. Just a few short months ago, he attended Imaging USA to personally accept the Honorary Master of Photography degree, honoring his impeccable career and strength.

Perhaps one way to remember him is to consider his view on photography. Monte once said, “Your images should be a lasting testament long after you are gone.” Monte’s testament, though, is not only in his beautiful work, but also in the lives he has touched. After all, he once commented that “Success as a person is to affect people’s lives in a positive way.” Going by that statement, Monte Zucker was a very successful person and will be deeply missed.

New Website Coming Soon...

We are working on a new website. I am hoping to get it for my birthday later this month (28th) but who knows. Anyhow, it will be much simpler and cleaner than the one we have now. I will post an update as soon as it gets ready. Thanks everyone for your support and kind words. It means so much to me that my work is appreciated and that I can do what I love and make people happy. It is truly a blessing of the Lord.

Erica

So I know this is a wedding from 2005 but I can't help myself. I am a little partial to Erica, one of the most beautiful brides I have had the delight to photograph. Just wanted to share a couple of photos for those of you who didn't know me "back then". You have heard me go one and on about Erica, so now you know who I am talking about! The photo of the Bridesmaids is one of my most popular and there is Jordan, (Jordan and Josh) last one on the right and well I have to shout out to Sara, my all time favorite Brides Maid, second from the left! Erica do you have some good news for me to post soon?
