Wedding Vow Renewal in Valley CenterWedding Vow Renewal in Valley CenterTime is the ultimate test of truth. For 25 and 30 years of marriage these two amazing couples have shown what true love is.

I was honored to get to capture them renew their wedding vows in my hometown of Valley Center. The ceremony took place adjacent to my old high school at Saint Stevens Catholic Church. As you can the inside of it is absolutely gorgeous.

Title: Themis Wiccan Wedding and Handfasting Vows Renewal

Our single most important goal is having a good time; a good life together; being happy; and sharing that happiness with you if that is your choosing. Blessed be.
- The Countess and Ruffian Angel
Themis

Ceremony excerpts:

If in the morning when you wake
If the sun does not appear I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear I will be here.
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind I will listen
Through the winning, losing, and trying well be together
And I will be here
Renewal Vows
This Oath or pledge continues today, tomorrow and forevermore:
When you are sad, I will dry your tears.
When you are scared, I will comfort your fears.
When you are worried, I will give you hope.
When you are confused, I will help you cope.
And when you are lost, and can't see the light,
I will be your beacon, shining ever so bright.
This is my oath; I pledge to the end.
Why you may ask? Because you are my lover and friend.

What has this year meant to me, because to the depths of me, I have loved one person, with all of my heart, my mind, my body and my soul.

I have a forever friend who I have trusted with the intimacies of me, who has not held them against me, who loves me when I am unlikeable, who sees the small child in me, and looks for the divine potential of me.

I have someone to cuddle in the warmth of the night with someone who is thankful, with someone I feel blessed to hold and be with.

What is Love?
Love is a friendship that has caught fire.
It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.
It is loyalty through good and bad.
It settles for less than perfection, and makes allowances for human weakness.
Love is content with the present.
It hopes for the future and it doesnt brood over the past.
Its the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and working toward common goals.

If you have love in your life,
it can make up for a great many things you lack.
If you dont have it, no matter what else there is,
it is not enough, so search for it, ask your soul for it, and share it!

Title: SUPRISE 30yr Wedding Vow Renewal by Elvis in Las Vegas

On 9/2/07, I surprised my wife of 30 years with a wedding vow renewal at "A Elvis Chapel" in Las Vegas (elvischapel.com). I had her believing we were going to be riding a bus from the Paris hotel down to a local Red Lobster - a restaurant chain where we traditionally celebrate our anniversaries. When the limo drove up, I dropped to one knee and asked her to marry me again. She was in a state of shock and could only laugh...well we whisked her away to the chapel where we renewed our vows. In the video, the ring I give her, was the very same ring I gave her 30 years ago. It had been broken for some time and I snuck it out to a jeweler and had it fixed. It was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy the video.....

Title: Metric White gold

White Gold appears on the album Grow Up & Blow Away. One of the many songs I love from Metric. :D


The Lyrics to the song.

Piss-poor, ridin high
Sunbathing fireside
We're here for the porn and the sirloin
Get your T-bone, let your backbone slide
Tunnel and sky collide
Lose friends to the airwaves and the airlines
I wanna make it right
Some future in my eyes, bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
The waitress, the actress
Got the skin and the bones
With a hairbrush and an airbrush
She'd be white gold
She asked the piss-poor
"Why you lookin' for that party in the sky?"
It's just a movie about a movie too old to die
But I'm gonna make it right
Future in my eyes, bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
Though my vision is straining
I'm gonna make it right
Some future in my eyes, bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late,
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet


I don't own this song.

A Budget To Be Realized

por | | 0 comentarios

So, in response to my last post, I have done a mock budget for what I feel is important to me and my wedding experience.

Please note that yes, some prices are lower, and probably unrealistically lower too. The reason I feel I can make some important numbers cheaper is because I would learn to not try to find something "perfect" but try to find something enjoyable. I would be able to compromise a lot more than when I was first planning everything out...

Will this happen?! No clue, but that's why this blog exists!

Consider this a "hopeful," experimental budget:

Reception:
Location, Rentals, Food, Drinks: $3750??? (only if I can somehow find a cheap but nice venue and have a limited bar)
Cake: $150 (make my own yummy creation!)
Service Fees: $750 (complete guess, based on the $3000)
Gratuities: $325 (also a complete guess)

Veil: $40 (planning to make my own)

Shoes: $0 (use a pair I already have)
Garter: $10
Total: $300

Photography/Videography:
Photographer:$1500 (only if I can find a package with included prints)
Extra Prints: $250 (only if this amounts makes me feel like I have enough to remember the wedding by)
Photo Album: $20 (doesn't have to be anything fancy)
Videographer: $600 (only if I can find one for this price that's worth it)
DVD Copies: $30 (they don't cost that much to make/burn)
Total: $2,400

Music:
DJ: $0 (ipod route)
Musicians for Ceremony: $500
Total: $500

Miscellaneous:
Marriage License: $40 (actual researched value for NY state)
Taxes: $300 (complete guess)
Tips: $300 (also complete guess)
Total: $640

Floral/Decorations:
Bouquets: $140 (making my own, obviously :D)
Boutonnieres: $30 (making these too)
Corsages: $20 (and these...I think I'll need some help, lol)
Ceremony Flowers: $50 (lots of rose petals...)
Reception Flowers: $15 (use the ceremony's bouquets plus some more rose petals)
Table Centerpieces: $180 (for about 12 tables...?)
Cake Table: $10 (eh, the cake should be the center of attention anyway)
Candles: $25 (lots of tea lights...)
Total: $470

(all of these are based on getting cardstock in bulk and making them myself)
Invitations: $40 (less elaborate)
Save-the-Dates: $30
Programs: $20 (less elaborate)

Total: $850

Gifts:
Wedding Favors: $150 (if I'm having favors, they have to be cheap!)
Gifts for Bridesmaids: $80
Gifts for Groomsmen: $60 (he'll probably just give them nice beer, lol)
Gifts for Parents: $0 (my parents have already said no to gifts, and *hopefully* his parents will agree to none as well)
Gifts for Each Other: $75 (we won't over-do it)
Total: $365

Ceremony:
Location Fees: $650 ($6.50 per person, per 1.5 hours)
Officiant's Fee: $0 (get a friend to do the ceremony)
Total: $650

Other:
Salon Appointments: $150

Mariachi Band Photo Shoot

por | | 0 comentarios
Mariachi Band Photo ShootI specialize in weddings, but that doesnt mean I cant help people needing photographs of other subjects! As a photographer who can be found through Google search, its understanable to get random calls for unique opportunities, such as this case. A local mariachi band, Duetos 2 Los Compas, callled needing cover photo for their new CD they wanted to release in a few days.

The request was for a white background, at night, with good portait light and instant viewing. Well, I usually shoot on location, with a photojournalistic style, with months of planning, and a couple of weeks to deliver. But sure; umm ya, I guess I can figure something out... famous last words right?!!!

So at 10pm at night we opened my garage, isolated a white wall and setup for the shoot. While they were cleaned up by the hair and makeup artist, I played around with my off camera speedlight and a make-shift background light. Ill admit I was improvising a bit but I was able to deliver the images the client wanted. And apparently, my name is on the back of their cd!!!

These guys were fun loving and enjoying life. I hope one day to get to see them in action. From the looks of their calendar they are completely booked, playing more than 6 shows per month. I hope to get to shoot their next album's cover photo!

Backpacking in the Eastern Sierra Mountains (Free iPhone Wallpapers)

Blue Water Sierra Mountain Reflection

These images are Free Fine Art Wallpapers that are watermark free for iPhones and other small devices. Just click a fine art image to go to the source file, download it, add it as your desktop wallpaper, and enjoy! 

This photographic adventure was tough, but well worth it, as evident from the awesome photo opportunities. The hike starting in Bishop, Ca took us uphill through Piute’s Pass and over a Glacier at 11,400 ft elevation. It was interesting to see what can live up there, and what doesn’t. For example, there were lots of mosquitoes and fish, but no bears. We caught golden trout, brooke trout,  and rainbow trout. The trout that we ate for dinner one night were rainbow trout, yum! 

I had a blast capturing images of this breath-taking landscape. The water was amazingly clear, and the taste of it was so pristine. I love photographing water, it allows for unlimited creativity with the reflections and movement of it in streams and waterfalls. I also like how slightly changing your angle of view or shutter speed can yield a completely different image. My favorite shots are usually from very low angles, involving me laying with my face on the ground or standing in a stream with the tripod getting a little wet.

I hauled all of my photo gear up there, including my Canon 50D, Tamron 17-55mm and 4 lb Manfrotto Tripod, as I intended to get some use out of them. As everyone else fished, I was looking for fine art images, and I think I captured a few. By the way, feel free to leave comments if you like any of them. Gear-wise everything went great, nothing broke and 2 batteries were plenty of Juice for five days in the backcountry. At the end of the trip I had used 8GB of memory.

On this trip I experimented with using the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique, which allows the photographer to create images that display a tonal range of light that more closely mimics what the human eye can see. Getting these types of photos involves taking multiple exposures (usually three) and then combining them on the computer. I used a combination of Photoshop CS3 and Photomatix softwares. The multiple exposures help to capture more detail in the darks, lights and midtones.

If I had to choose a soundtrack for these photos I would use “Indescribable” by Chris Tomlin. Everything is so well designed out here, it is impossible for me to believe that this all happened by chance (macro evolution). As an engineer I know a little something about ‘DESIGN’, and this thing we call nature was definitely designed, and designed well. Thanks to God for showing us a small minutia of His infinite glory!

Title: Backpacking The Manzano Mountain Wilderness

The Manzano Mountain Wilderness, created by the Endangered American Wilderness Act of 1978, encompasses 36,970 acres on the Mountainair Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest in central New Mexico. The word "manzano" is Spanish for "apple." In the 1700s, explorers visiting a small village on the eastern edge of the mountains noted apple trees growing in the village. The trees appeared to be very old but no one knew or how or when they arrived; apple trees are not native to this country. The village and the mountain both became known as Manzano.

Elevations in the Wilderness range from 6,000 feet in the foothills to 10,098 feet on Manzano Peak. A rule of thumb to remember about climate and elevation is that every 1,000 feet gained in elevation is the same as traveling 400 miles north. You start out in the desert of central New Mexico and end up in the spruce-fir forests of lower Canada. (...so to speak.)

This video footage was recorded May 29th, 30th and 31st, 2010. (Memorial Day Weekend)
