Busy weekend for me.  Gearing up for the big wedding of Abdias and Yadira.   Practice practice!   So 10am Saturday morn Haydee and I went to the church and met Yadira.  We wanted to get a feel for the church and the ceremony so we can envision it in our mind.   The church was a real throwback the San Fernando Valley 50’s style architecture.  Wooden ceiling in a beautiful arch over the pews.   Big stage, grand piano and two side aisles.   There are a few small buildings scattered around the property.   Great place for a wedding and I can’t wait for the big day!

Later that day, after I saw Hilary Swank at Samy’s Camera (I didn’t even notice her when she walked right by me but people were oogling her at the Hassleblad counter so then I noticed) – anyhoo, later I met Marissa in the park by the Grove and we caught up with our stories had a fun time shooting.   Marissa is the best and I really love working with her (see here and here).   I owe her big time for indulging me.  She’s awesome.

Then on Sunday I met up with Kat and did a studio shoot.   I used lights this time.  The one’s I bought 2 years ago to prepare for the Fox Holiday card but never used.  So I actually opened the box for the first time Saturday night.    They’re pretty cool.  So Kat is a beautiful young lady.   Great singer, songwriter and musician.   She had a baby recently (see here and here) and looks great now!   You would never know she had a baby 3 months ago.   Incredible!    

I’m still striving to take better photos and learn something each time.  My biggest challenge is to slow down and take my time.   Next time.
