It was a Friday wedding. I had to get off work early.

We were losing Sunlight fast. (ceremony started 6:30pm)
During the ceremony, I had to use flashes on almost every single shot.
By the time we were ready for formal pictures, we really started to lose light.

My light-meter reading was 1/60 second at f4
I had to use a tripod, flash, and cable release.

By the time we started to take formal pictures, we almost didn’t have natural night. I couldn’t spare a minute. I kept telling them “I’m sorry about rushing you”, and I directed everyone like a plane was going down. They all understood why I had to rush them.
I managed to get all the pictures done before it was too dark.

The reception was nice. It was a good wedding.
I shot 9 rolls of film. (9 x 36 = 324 images).

** Follow-up news: After the wedding, the client left me a good comment in my website (Here).  They called me a “Photo Ninja” because they didn’t remember seeing me taking pictures  :)

I really wanted to move that trash can…

I met a client from Canada today.
I have had clients from New York, Texas, and some other states, but Canada is first.
He arrived at LAX 2:15pm, got a rental car, and came to Camarillo by 4:00pm.
He was on his way to Santa Barbara.
I’ve already booked his wedding a month ago, he just wanted to say hello.

There, I saw a real nice couple (not married) talking and kissing.
I had to give them my business card, so I walked up to them.
“When you get married” I said, “I’ll be your wedding photographer”.
I hand him my card.
The man looked at me, “But… we’re already married”,  he said with a smile.
I replied “No… you’re too sweet”
The lady lauhged out loud “Too sweet~!”

After the meeting I went back to my day job.

I booked a meeting with a prospect for Sunday.
They are coming from Torrence.  We’ll be meeting at Encino.
Sep 2 is getting warm.

There was 20% chance of rain.
It actually rained a little, but it never rained when we needed to be outside.
I tell ya, when I go out for a wedding, it *almost* never rains.
I have had many occasions where I drove through the rain to wedding sites and ended up shooting beautiful outdoor wedding photographs without getting wet.
People should hire me for the good luck I have with rain.

This was my 5th time coming to Poinsettia Pavilion for photography job.
I am getting to know faces there.

I can honestly say this wedding was a success.
People clearly had a good time with fantastic food & entertainment.

I shot 8 rolls of film (8×36 = 288 images).
