50mm 1.8

So I think I'm on a role this month ..ugh..maybe week with keeping up my daily blog. So work today has been a hectic morning, but it's quieted down a bit. I'm on my caffeine high this morning though. I was feeling bummed cause I left my camera at home today. I wanted to take some pics of the girls for our birthday outings. So to perk me up I got some starbucks, but now i'm jittery and antsy. hehe.

I stayed up last night playing with my 50mm 1.8(new toy). I love the bokeh this lens makes..would have loved to get the 1.4 but it's out of my budget for now. I used this lens for most of Adriana & Leo's wedding. But never got to play with it...so I stayed up late...very late and fooled around a bit with our wedding rings.

Nisi & Riggo's Baby Shower

Riggo is 5 year younger than my hubby, but he is my hubby's uncle. We threw a surprise Baby Shower for his wife, last month. They are having a baby girl.

Update time....

Ok time to catch up on my blogging.

July Wedding: Adriana & Leo 07/19/2008

Pro-Bono wedding of the summer. Adriana & Leo's wedding was a unique combination of Peruvian & Mexican Heritage Weddings. The ceremony was held in a beautiful church in the heart of San Jose. The bride and groom beamed of excitement and joy. They were ready no nerves showed on these two, the family was a buzzin' but they were calm and happy...just going with the flow. I like that!

More of Angel & Drew

My favorite niece; very young and creative, shadowed me at Angel & Drew wedding and took over the 2nd camera for the day! Fidel took over the bag boy position. I think he enjoyed the relaxing job.


Some more images from the wedding.

Angel & Drew

It was a beautiful sunny Saturday in June - perfect day for a wedding! Angel & Drew are darling together. It was a small & intimate wedding with very close family. Angel and Drew each have 2 children and are joining two families together. All four of their kids were the attendants.

Although the day had a few delays and no itinerary everything fell into it's place and everyone was happy and joyful. Angel and Drew, very much in love gushed over each other and it was just too cute! Beautifully simple and memorable wedding.

Saint Paschal Parish - Oakland, CA

Angel was late to the ceremony. Drew joked about it later in his toast to his new bride. Last glimpse of angel - before she stepped out to become Drew's wife.


This was inspired by a fellow flickr photographer. Loving it. The couple were up for anything.


What a beautiful cake.
