Jesse and Karen Diaz

I got to be a part of Jesse and Karen's special day. It was an adventure for the books, but everything always worked out. We got a lot of awesome photos too. You can see more in the SLIDESHOW, and I've posted some here too:

Right about the time that Karen was done getting her hair and makeup done, the bridesmaids went out to the car to get the dress. The only thing, was that the car was missing... It had been towed (SF parking is crazy!). This put a kink in the schedule, but luckily, Karen had planned a lot of photo time into the morning. It just cut into the photo time a little while they got the car, and the dress back. Through the whole scene, Karen was really calm :) No stress! Even I got a little worried when I heard one of the girl mention, "We could probably find another dress before the ceremony..." It all worked out, and the show still went on.

We were going to do photos at the Legion of Honor, and the Palace of Fine Arts, but we ended up just staying at the Legion of Honor. The courtyard there is an awesome spot for photos!








No stress!
Even though the photo time got shortened, we still got a lot of awesome shots, and had plenty of time to catch up with the schedule.
Jesse HAND PAINTED the sign below, and ALL of the name cards at the reception. They were beautifully done!


The ceremony was at the church I regularly go to, Dolores Park Church in the Mission District.






The reception was in China Town


Karen did a quick outfit change into a traditional Chinese dress.



Jesse got into taking photos with my other camera. It was pretty awesome because people had different reactions for him than they did for me.






It was an exciting day, from start to finish. I love all of the photos. Thanks guys!
