Sylmar, San Fernando Wedding (my home town).
* blog not completed… more coming. ZZzz….
After last night's wedding, I only had a few hours to get ready for today's wedding.
Yesterday's wedding was a film photography. Today will be a digital photography.
Today's wedding took place around San Fernando Valley, centered in the city of San Fernando. Bride's house was in Sylmar, the church was in Granada Hills. But we spent most of our time in the city of San Fernando. It was a Mexican wedding but I didn't have to showcase my Spanish skill. They all all pretty much Americans.

I used to live in San Fernando Valley. I grew up in Granada Hills.
I have a lot of memory of San Fernando Valley.
My mother still lives in Granada Hills.
I graduated Granada Hills High School, I am a Scott.
Chatsworth High was my Summer School.
I also took a few courses at California State University Northridge.
Every new year, I went to Galpin Ford in North Hills to pickup free calendars.
After all these years, I finally visited San Fernando Mission and saw the statue of Father Serra.
Across the San Fernando Mission was Brand Park where we took formal pictures.
Brand Park was packed with the wedding parties taking pictures.
All wedding parties appeared to be Hispanics.
I saw at least 10 wedding parties while I was taking photographs.
It was interesting to observe other photographers.
Some came with a full team of photo, video, and lighting crew. They were from Spanish TV, Telemundo.
Some photographer wore pirate pants and bandanna. Yikes, too artistic for me, I guess.
