Randomosity: San Antonio

This past week I was in San Antonio, Texas for our first annual School Network Meeting.

Here's a sunset from the plane:



And a view of the sun setting from my hotel:



We walked around the Riverwalk, and also wandered into the Valencia Hotel:



No one is at the Alamo on a late night Thursday:



During the day, however, that's a different story. I tried to go a little more abstract here:



At the door:



Oooooh texture:



Sometimes I like to remind myself how short I am :)



Go Vikings! (My HS Mascot!)



I didn't get any other cool shots because I barrrrellly made my flight to DFW, and then that flight was delayed because of an engine problem, and by the time it landed I had to BOLT to my connecting flight to D.C. During the time I put my Pumas to the test, my phone decided to be daring and flew out of my pocket, slid across the shiny DFW airport floors, flew into pieces and then down the up escalator! Talk about sadness! Some nice Texan helped me pick up the pieces, but as I was reaching for the battery, it slipped out of my fingers and then slid down the median between the up and down escalators! Once I got to the bottom (to be an esca-lefter is a common behavior in Texas, apparently), I tried very hard to reach the battery with my T-Rex short arms and failed :(. A nice D.C.-ite saw my struggle, and helped me! Yay for strangers! And my phone SURVIVED! It has a little crack in it, but works fine :)

Coming soon, more photos (of course!) :)

Jeanette + Armando (10.06.07)

(I've been soooooo backed up, so I apologize for the delay! I still haven't figured out how to clone myself :(...)

Jeanette + Armando are an awesome couple, and not just b/c they're my landlords! :)

They met at an upscale restaurant named Sesto Senso in Downtown D.C. several years back, and it was love at first sight! When they asked me to shoot their wedding, I was all 'Meeee?!?! Realllllyyy!!!? I'd LOVE to!!!'


They were married in St. Matthew's Cathedral (for the LIFE of me, I can't pronounce 'cathedral' in English correctly), and had a reception on the rooftop of the Beacon Hotel.

I'ma stop yappin and show the pics now! :)



Fly shoes!



Gorgeous Flowers:



Getting ready:





Gorgeousness!



Val caught this shot of Armando looking quite dapper:



We had to sneak Jeanette onto the balcony once the coast was clear! They ALMOST ALMOST ALMOST saw each other!

The sunset was absolutely beautiful:



Off to the Cathe--Cate---catedral (en espanol!) I admit, I couldn't stop taking photos in there b/c it was soooo beautiful!



Val is AWESOME:



Newly Wedded!



Her friends went to such great lengths to make the reception area look FLY:



Okay, onto the cake, it was sooo pretty...



CakeGate commenced towards the end of the night:



A shot from Val's P.O.V...I love the look of determination on Jeanette's face!



It's all good:
