Santa Barbara Photographer, Wedding & Event

I took a day off for today’s wedding (Friday) 

Before going to the wedding, I met yet another customer and booked September 21 wedding. I met them a few weeks ago.  Today, I dropped by at his work to exchange signatures and make things final.

I came to Wedgewood Banquet Center several times before.
I am very familiar with Wedgewood  Banquet Center in Ventura.
Everything was going like clockwork.

Well, there was one minor incident.
10 minutes before the ceremony, a screw from my eye glasses came lose.
A lens fell to the ground.
I calmly picked up the lens and went to the men’s room.
I produced a piece of duct tape (from my emergency supply) and fixed the glasses.
I come prepared, you see.  That’s what the pros do.
I have a backup glasses in the car as well, but it’s really ugly.

McGuyver of Photography. Duct taped joint.
Fixed 10 minutes before the wedding ceremony. No sweat.

Wedding was scheduled for 6:30pm.
We took all the formal pictures before the wedding ceremoney.
Yes, bride and groom saw each other before the wedding ceremony.

Wedding went smooth.
During the reception I talked to the newlyweds’ neighbors who will get married next year.
They have already booked Ventura Fairgound as a wedding location.
They were (very) interested in booking me as their wedding photographer.
We talked a little.
I have a good feeling about them. I think I can book their wedding.
Wish me luck.

I came back home 11:30pm.
I have a wedding tomorrow, so I really need to rest and get my cameras ready for tomorrow.

It’s almost 1am, so I only have a few hours to sleep.
A full day coming up.  I need some kind of energy drink… ZZzz

It’s still a lot of fun.. good time.
Thank you for your support everyone. 
I feel very good.
God bless today’s newlyweds. They looked so cute.
Oh, the father of the groom looked exactly like Lee Van Cleef.
