Last Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph one of the most interesting weddings that I've ever done. It was held at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and for those of you that have never been there, it's a fascinating place!
The wedding was going to take place next door to the Exploratorium at the Palace of Fine Arts, but it is under construction and is all fenced up.
You can't actually get legally married at the Exploratorium (I have no idea why), so Mel and Chris had a private ceremony the day before at another location and re-enacted the whole wedding at the E.
There is an auditorium with theater style seating and a stage and the whole wedding was performed in full regalia!
The E is open to the public until 5:00pm, so we had the whole place to ourselves after the tourists left, for our 6:00pm ceremony. There are tons of super neat exhibits with plenty of opportunities to interact with them and the guests had a blast having the whole place to themselves.
The caterers did a wonderful job with both food and beverages and the service was better than I've seen at a lot of 4 star hotels.
I'll post pictures as soon as they come back from post production.
One last thing, I'm going to devote a whole blog about how to choose a great videographer, but until I do, I HIGHLY recommend Axiom Media Corporation. I have worked with a lot of videographers and these guys are the best. Their website is: www.axiommediacorp.com and their toll free number is 888-999-9214. Their prices are reasonable and trust me, your photographer (whoever you choose) will appreciate Axiom's non intrusive style.

Thanks to Mr. Obama, we were able to do our part in stimulating the economy by furnishing our home. We got a new couch and loveseat, a 47 inch flatscreen TV, king size mattress and sleigh bed, 2 nightstands, a dresser, and an armoire. Next up are some coffee tables in the living room and to do a cable drop and actually mount the TV. Justin's circa 1970 dresser will not be staying in my living room.

I have always wanted a red kitchen and I finally got it! 1 coat of primer and 4 coats of paint = the lovely shade of red below. (Ralph Lauren - Red Relay). Hannah was here over spring break, so she helped some.
The joints where my walls meet are all curved - there are no hard edges to paint to, so I had to meticulously paint by hand with a small brush to get a fairly straight line down the center of the curve.
It matches my Red Kitchen Aid appliances!
Hard at work with the first coat of primer. Yes, there is a warning on the ladder that says not to use the top as a seat (darn you 10 foot ceilings!). I ignored it. By the way, Hannah and I went to Home Depot to buy everything by ourselves. I even picked out this ladder and had Hannah carry it out to my car.
Smiling for the camera and looking forward to the end result!

As a Wedding Photographer in the Sacramento and Bay Area Professional Photojournalist I am always reading about wedding related news and stories and I thought that this was really touching.
A Love Too Strong to Keep Apart on the Independent Post
I hope you enjoy it! I know the part about the wedding photography being supplied by the hospital really made me smile. I cannot imagine any real, professional wedding photographer not jumping at the chance to do work like this free of charge.
If you have a really touching wedding photograph story (or need!) get in touch with me. I'm a sucker for the romantic stuff.

Justin, Taylor, and I went to the Houston Zoo yesterday afternoon and then went and ate mud bugs (crawfish) at Ragin' Cajun'. To be honest, the zoo is not that impressive, but it was perfect weather to be outside.
We saw lions:
and a grizzly bear:
and elephants:
and orangutans:

Well, Justin and I felt very much like suburbanite homeowners this past Saturday. We pulled a few weeds and added mulch to the front flower beds. There was also a low spot in part of our yard that we had to fill with dirt and grass (from one of our neighbors, Mike, who just put in a back patio so he had plenty of grass to spare). It looks so pretty now! We replaced the black mulch that the previous homeowner put in with a smaller red variety. I think it looks so much better. And yes, we were both out there working, I didn't just take pictures and go back in the house. My back still hurts. (Haha! I just figured out how to put text first, then pictures!)
