Getting Ready for Summer Season

VenturaPhoto | Preparation | Friday, July 20th, 2007

Missing Attachment

Wedding photography is an extremely physical job.
I often stand under the direct Sunlight for hours at a time.
I cannot wear a hat or Sun-glasses, I want to look proper for the event.
I cannot rest in the shade or get a drink of water.
I get my rest when everything is over.

I must prepare for any kind of situation and weather I will face.
One of the toughest challenge is the hot weather.
You have no escape but taking that full Sunlight for several hours. (and keep happy face, AND take good pictures)
One item you cannot forget is Sunblock lotion.

I went to K-Mart yesterday.
There, I found $2.00 off coupon for Hawaiian Tropic products.
So, I bought 4 bottles.
Next day, I went back and purchased 2 more bottles.

Back to Hotel Mar Monte, Santa Barbara

Wedding Schedule
———————————————
Bride Getting ready:  Hotel Mar Monte, Santa Barbara
Wedding Ceremony:  Cabrillo Beach, across the Street.
Promal Photography: Right after wedding.
Reception & Dance:  Hotel Mar Monte, Santa Maria Room.

The last time I was at Cabrillo Beach was June 2nd (last month).
I love Santa Barbara.
When it comes to Santa Barbara Wedding, I need to be extra careful with two things.

  1. Give plenty of traffic time
    Normal driving time between Camarillo and Santa Barbara is about 50 minutes.
    But, sometimes I get stuck on traffic for 2 hours.
  2. Bring Sun protection
    I will be toasted today on Cabrillo Beach, yikes. Cool
    My story on Sun Protection

I feel more comfortable everytime I come back to Santa Barbara.  There were fair amount of people at the beach.  But, I knew where I can get some free parking :).  I arrived at Hotel Mar Monte 30 minutes earlier.  I put thick coat of Sunblock lotion at the car and headed out to Mar Monte.

I went to the bride's room for getting ready shots.  She was in the exact same room that my past customer used. (this wedding).

The Sun was very strong. But the wedding ceremony was over pretty fast.
