The Yellow Umbrella Company, Ventura Beach

Yellow umbrella is a cute little section in the Ventura State beach.  People can have a wedding on the beach.  It was my second time photographing wedding at The Yellow Umbrella Company.  It was a hot day but the Ventura beach breeze made it easier for me.  The wedding was beautiful and short that wedding guests didn’t have to suffer from the heat.

After the ceremony, we all drove up to the reception at Santa Clarita.  Ventura to Santa Clarita is exactly 1 hour driving.  The temperature at Santa Clarita reached well over 90 degrees.  I was ready for a hot weather today.  I put on a think coat of Sun-block lotion.  I brought water and towel so I can refresh myself on the spot.  The bride was keep asking me to eat, but I just couldn’t find the time to eat.  The house was looking down at Santa Clarita valley. I took a few shots of Santa Clarita freeway, so I can look at them later to test my lens.  As you can see below, my lens quality is amazing.  I am very happy with my lenses.

Back to reception at Santa Clarita:
The Sun was setting over Santa Clarita mountains and I had my last chance for some cool shots of bride and groom.  And the rest was flash photography – of people boogieing down.
