It all started 2years back, when I’d met Adriana (virtually) through an IT job posting, which she had listed for the staffing agency she works for. Though I wasn’t successful in nailing that gig, I ended up becoming a good friend of Adriana, specially because of my attempts to impress her with my broken Spanish and also our similar interests in art and Latin dance :). After a year or so during a random conversation I happened to mention to her about my Wedding Photography business which was really intrigued her. She was like OMG perfect timing, I am getting married in November 09… and there you go we met in person for the first time and after talking to her man Aldo, Voila… she booked me :)!
Our engagement session from my previous posting was so much fun, its when I first met Aldo. Trust me, these guys are hilarious and were so much fun to work with!
The wedding was a traditional Latin wedding and the reception was a rock on with mucho musica, bailar, bebidas y comida, one can’t ask for me, especially me. I even overcame a bunch of my favs songs including the Andrea Bocelli’s – Besame Mucho, which Adraina sang herself as a surprise for Aldo, it made him speechless in love :)!!
Last but not the least a big THANKS to my good friend and associate Liem Nguyen who did a fab job in helping me out here, thank you buddie!

Adriana is an amazingggggg artist, which is also her major at college. Below is one of her masterpieces and an out of the box idea to display the table cards. I really envy her for this!
Had I mentioned Adriana & Aldo were amazing dancers as well, Adriana is a Salsa instructor herself at a dance school in Hayward, now that’s what I called MULTI TALTENT. They actually had a plan of performing at the reception which didn’t happen due to Aldo’s last minute cold feet… :)
