I had a wonderful opportunity to shoot my friend Mark's wedding on Saturday (11.10.2007). Mark and Jennifer were absolutely wonderful! I had a lot of fun shooting their wedding. Jennifer was one of the most relaxed bride's i've shot in a long time, even though we were running 20 minutes behind, but she stayed cool (like the other side of a pillow).

The weather cooperated perfectly so we decided to go by the beach to shoot the romantics. We ended up at Heisler Park near Las Brisas for about an hour and the weather was perfect!!!

Here are the results:

*sigh* okay, from my previous post here is a continuation of my adventures in NY. We visited so many places and basically walked all over Midtown and Lower Manhattan on one day, visited the Statue of Liberty on another, visited Ground Zero the next day, and visited the Met and walked all over Central Park. I had a blast and am looking forward to visiting again.. Does anybody wanna go with me next time? :)

Our hotel reservations were at the Holiday Inn Express on 45th Street (between 5th and 6th). Unfortunately I wasnt able to take a picture of the room, but take my word for it, that has to be the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in. It was expensive, and to make things worse we shared the small room (with two queen beds) between five people. Not that we had much time to sleep, but it still made for a cramped evening.

I will do my best to keep from boring you with verbiage, so here are the pictures:

Columbus Day parade with a grip of police officers.


Our first day we took the subway down to lower manhattan to walk around Little Italy and Chinatown.

After eating lunch in Little Italy and walking through a sea of immitation jewelry salesmen in Chinatown, we made our way up a shopping district.

A weird sign we noticed as we walked down the street. No, it wasn't a girls bathroom!

Here's a cool but weird looking bike in one of the shops.


And a door. I really liked how unique this door was.


Near the end of the we stopped off at a Toys-R-Us to shop and use the bathroom. This was a pretty large store and they even had their own ferris wheel.


The best part of the store were the wall of mirrors in the bathroom. SWEET!! :)


People must thought i was weird for taking pictures of a wall of mirrors. Hey there I am!


The next day we again made our way down to lower manhattan but this time down to the financial district and eventually on to Statue of Liberty.


I never knew electric violin was sooo rockin.. If the sound of the violin didnt get you, then his charisma and showmanship would have.


Yet another door. . .










Somewhere near wall street.


Lost in the financial jungle.

On our way to Statue of Liberty..

Here are some fun pictures the next day in Time Square








The Met: There was waaay to many things to visit in one day. You'll need about three days to see and appreciate everything in the museum.

Central Park

The Disneyland store

The Mac Store - The coolest MAC store I have seen!


The top of the store is the glass structure, then once you pass through the doors, you walk down a glass spiral stairway, and in the middle of the stair way is a very cool glass elevator. Even though it was only two stories, we had to take a ride on the elevator.

Random shots

yay! finally done.. I hope i didnt bore you guys..
