I am also adding music to the galleries and I'm finding it very difficult to find the right track so please leave your suggestions. Thanks a lot.

August 13 Wedding in Rancho Capistrano

The second wedding of the weekend took place in Rancho Capistrano where I had to fulfill not only my duties as a photographer but also as a RING BEARER!!!... right in the middle of the ceremony I noticed the bridesmaids were talking with each other and then I started noticing some panic expressions and that they were calling guess who... ME!
I didn't want to go near them but some of the guests started turning their heads to me so I had to and finally found out that the groom's ring was missing :-O I run back to his room, turned it upside down with no luck then I run across the patio to the bride's room, turned it upside down too and finally found it!
Apparently I got back with the ring in the nick of time but the bridesmaids had already given the Rev. a fake ring (too small) so they had to exchange it with the real one... of course by this time everyone knew what was going on and laughed!
Then the groom said to me "no matter how the pictures look... you're the best photographer in the world."... I'm still sweating ;-)

Now some photos:

Something different

Last night I shot illusionist John Gabriel at the Commerce Casino. His performance was great. His interaction with the audience, the comedic approach and the magic of course, make his show super entertaining.

He looks a lot like Andy Garcia don't you think?






This girl from the audience doesn't know what she's gotten into







In the end he kept all his body parts and original stature

August 6th Wedding in Camarillo

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of shooting with Mel Barlow at the Spanish Hills Golf and Country Club in Camarillo, CA.
I really enjoy shooting with other photographers and learn from the different styles. Mel made everyone feel at ease... including me. Thanks Mel, I had a great time.
