I got a chance to attend Adobe MAX in October last year as a lab teaching assistant. MAX is Adobe's annual conference aimed to educate developers and designers with its latest technologies. Since 2008(?), it's always been held at in the LA Convention Center/LA LIVE area

It was a beautiful Fall day at International Country Club. It didn't count the number of guests but it was a big wedding with both bride's and groom's high school, college and graduate school friends. The dance floor was always jam-packed. It was a lot of fun.

Kat is from Ohio and moved down here not too long ago. She and Brian are both runners and that's how they met. The first time I met them they looked very athletic and dressed almost the same with one of those black polyester/fleece fabric outdoor jackets. Because they both love running, Kat planned a little after ceremony surprise for Brian where they put on running shoes and trailed off into the woods in the back of the main area.

First wedding of the year back in March at Newton White Mansion in Prince George's County, Maryland. The weather was incredible but unfortunately the ceremony and reception were held indoors. Although it was right at the end of March, I guess the venue didn't allow any event organized outdoors until April. Anyway, I couldn't have been a better day.

Grandma drove from Texas to pickup great grandma from Nebraska before uniting with the younger generations in Virginia for this very special occasion.

Here is my first attempt photographing a newborn. I did baby photography in the past but at that time the subject was a little over a month old. Nathan was between 5-10 days old in the pictures below.

Visited Hoover Dam, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Car broken into in SF. Stuff stolen. AMEX was awesome! FOX Rent A Car not so much. Pain to deal with.

Esther and James flew in town from the Bay area just before Thanksgiving. Not much I can say about this wedding. It was a beautiful day and perfect wedding.

Stayed at ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter. It was my first time there and I had a mind-blowing experience.

This is definitely not just another couple wanting to do a session in Georgetown. Let me tell you about Frank. Frank is avid StarCraft fan.

Esther and James flew all the way from California. Although it was pretty sunny, the temperature was around high 40s in the afternoon. I saw Esther shivering on many occasions. :)

Before this trip, we beach-camped once at Assateague island and it was pretty awesome. So we had really high hopes for OBX camping since it was going to be at the KOA Cape Hatteras campground, which is private (i.e. not part of a state or national) and should be less crowded generally speaking.

It's been a while since the last blog update. I guess I'll start off this one with pictures from the dance floor ... just to show insane it was. People totally rocked out with different wicked moves. I think the elderlies had as much fun as the younger ones.

Sheree and Tyrell definitely know how to throw one heck of a party. The groom even rocked out some massiv tunes with his buddies during the reception.
