Myra & Fred - March 24 Wedding

Yesterday I had a great day shooting Myra and Fred's wedding. Cool people, beautiful cozy reception venue and a fun day overall.

As you can see I had plenty of time to play with the rings

Techie stuff: I did this first shot (above) with a 50mm 1.8 and the Kenko extension tube set. I don't own a macro lens so this sutep is what I use when I need to get REAL close. Get yours HERE

Fred looking sharp


Myra and Yvette at the Westin




The happy couple


Armen, the best man, is a very cool guy... thanks for your hospitality!


I really enjoyed shooting at Cafe Santorini's Rococo Room in Pasadena... beautiful cozy place

Long exposure from across the street







Margarita Luna and her band kept everyone entertained and on the dance floor the whole time




I wanty to thank my friend Marlon Lopez for helping me out and getting some great shots. He's a graphic designer and is putting together a killer website for his photography... coming soon.

Big Fat Greek Wedding

Yesterday's wedding reception took place at Sandacre in Palm Springs. This Spanish hacienda style property with stucco walls, dark wood trim, and terra cotta roofing tiles was once Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio's former home.

The groom moments before leaving for the church




Julie on the small balcony that rests off the tower bedroom, which was once Marilyn Monroe’s private bedroom.


The light hitting this window was great and we shot many photos here


This is my favorite photo of the day


Julie looking beautiful and peeking through the window

First dance


The Koumbaro and the Bride on the dance floor




There is perhaps no more memorable element of a Greek wedding celebration than the dancing. I could really feel the energy and love emanating from the dance floor when the closest friends and family joined in the traditional dancing
