Congratulations Angie & Hector!


The second wedding of the weekend was on Saturday with the ceremony taking place in Pico Rivera and the reception in Long Beach. It was a long day but very rewarding... thanks to everyone for treating us like friends!
Some images...





I love this moment during the reception









NOTE for photographers: I did a lot of 'foofing' during this reception. For those of you who don't know the 'technical term' you can watch the great Dennis Reggie explaining it in detail right under the following photos ;-)
In the next photo I did it with a Nikon D2X, 50mm @ f1.4, and SB-800 flash, no diffuser, turned 90° to the right ISO400 and a slow shutter speed. The wall to the right where the light bounced off is well over 50 feet away. You can see the highlight and shadow areas clearly on the groom's face and on the bride's forearm... very flattering.



In this case I bounced the flash off the back wall and ceiling at a 45° angle so as not to get the 'bright white ceiling'. Nikon D2X, 10.5mm fisheye @ f2.8.

Have fun in Republica Dominicana!
