Formal Picture Photography - 7:00pm Wedgewood

The wedding schedule was exactly as same as my last Wedding at Wedgewood Banquet Center. It was a Friday wedding as well. Friday weddings are not unusual. A lot of people get married on Friday.
I got off work early today and went to Wedgwood Banquet Center in Ventura.

Just like the last wedding at Wedgewood Banquet Center, we were losing light fast. I had to hurry everyone.

I was happy to see some familiar people there (officiant & DJ).
Wedgewood Banquet Center has its own resident DJ. So, I’ve met him a few times here.

Today marks the beginning of my super busy wedding season.
I have 4 weddings in 2 weeks.
I have a wedding tomorrow in Santa Barbara.

As soon as I came home, I got ready for tomorrow’s wedding.
I fell asleep while I was recharging batteries… ZZzz…

Long Beach Airport Marriott

I was looking at a long day (1pm - 11pm, plus 3 hours driving) I left home 10:30AM, 2 & 1/2 hours before my schedule. I went through some heavy traffic, but I arrived at Long Beach Airport Marriott about 40 minutes before my schedule.  It’s always better to get there early. After a few limo shots, we went to the Japanese Garden. We took care of formal shots before the ceremony. We had a very strong Sunlight. Luckily, there was a big tree.  I took all the pictures under there. Everything went smooth.

Before reception, when I was taking detail shots of the table, I leaned on my camera and broke my flash cable.  It didn’t really effect my work because I carry 3 identical cameras at the weddings just in case. 2 of them are equipped with identical flash system.  So, broken cable didn’t effect me at all. Well, I’m out $60.00 I got to know the DJ.  We joked a lot. The DJ kept the party going.

I have received a real nice thank you card from a past client today.
Using the images I photographed, she made a real good thank you card.
She printed on a glossy stock paper.
On that card, she hand-wrote a nice note.
I love it when I receive thank you letters and/or baby news.
