Santa Barbara Photographer, Wedding & Event

I had a photography assignment at YMCA.  I spent 4 hours to take pictures of various activities lead by friendly staff members.  It was the first time for me to personally experience what YMCA was all about.  YMCA was more than just a fitness facility.  They act as a baby-sitter, a school, and a playground as well.  I have also  attended their staff meeting to take photographs.  They were talking about their philosophy and the goal for the future.

Earlier, at children’s activity, I met my wedding client (groom) from the wedding 2 years ago.  He was leading activities for kids.  He told me that they still carry their wedding album to show people.  He said “You did a good job”.  “Thank you, thank you” I replied.  He told me they have a 4 months old baby girl now.

It was nice meeting him.  Because I remember everything from his wedding, (strong wind at the beach, bride’s Adidas sneakers, balloon strings on the face when slow-dancing, groom’s first prayer as a head of household, electric slide, cake with sea-shell decoration, etc, etc…)   I told him some of the details of his wedding that I remember.  We laughed. 

I meet past wedding photography clients constantly when I’m out .  That’s why I always try to be nice to people.  Not that I’m a bad boy.

Update: YMCA Program Guide is out, they used 31 of my pictures

Below is pictures of Camarillo YMCA I took exactly 1 year earlier.
