May 2, 2009: Maria + Quyen's Wedding.

I've known Maria since before I could remember. She's a family friend of mine and our moms go way back. Her wedding was a blast to attend! That's right! Josephine and I actually had to opportunity to ATTEND a wedding instead of working. Not that work is even bad anyway, but it was nice to be at a wedding that we could finally relax and just be guests. It was a beautiful wedding, not to mention a really really fun one! We got to see old friends from back at St. Thomas and the food was great of course... Kim Son!! Of course I couldn't resist bringing the camera to get some shots of my own.

April 25, 2009: Gayelynn + Eric's Wedding.


The four of us hop into Tracy's car and head north. Why? Today we're going to Lake Livingston to shoot Gayelynn and Eric's wedding. It was a long trip, a hot day, but such a crazy party wedding! It was a very laid back wedding and the food was simply delicious. That's really the only detail I can still remember. This couple was such a delight to work with. I'd like to thank Chester for helping us book the wedding, Joseph, Tracy and Josephine for all their help and coverage. Especially thanks to Joe for his video efforts, they REALLY really enjoyed the video! I never got around to making a trailer of it. So here are just the photos instead.

April 24, 2009: Pulaski's Family Portraits.


Josephine, Joseph and I stroll up to the huge wooden and glass doors. I ring the doorbell nervously. I've never met the Pulaskis before although this is probably Josephine's 100th trip down this long walk way. Josephine was as calm as ever and I was just a little nervous meeting and shooting the family for the first time. Let's just say I warmed up to them quite quickly. This always helps in any photoshoot. In pharmacy, the patient/doctor relationship is so bonding and full of trust. I felt this same bond with the family. They entrusted me to great pictures and I trusted them to help me make it happen. Much special thanks to the entire Pulaski family, Josephine for getting the gig, and of course Joseph for all his help through the shoot.
