It's over...

My first full wedding since my surgery. I think it went ok considering how kaka the weather was. Raining the whole time, dark, windy, wet, forget about taking any photos in the garden. They moved the ceremony to a part of the hotel where I never shot before but that was no biggie, it was just a matter of adjusting.

My concern was how could I manage the photography. I was concerned enough to make sure I had two of my associates there instead of my usual one. After I started going, I realized that the only difference was that I had to be careful when I moved around otherwise, it was business as normal. I probably could have done the wedding with one associate but having the second one there made life a lot easier.

I'll have images posted once I process them...

Getting back into the swing of things

Some of you may or may not know but I underwent emergency back surgery on Sept 29 of this year. If I didn't do it, I may have been permanently paralyzed.

Thankfully, the surgery was successful and with ongoing physical therapy, I'll be back to normal in due time. I'm already back to doing studio and location portraits and will be photographing a wedding this weekend, 11/22 with the help of my two second shooters. For next month's weddings (two of them), I should be able to handle it with my usual single second shooter.

I still have to be careful as to how much weight I can lift so my poor assistants will be doing the trucking of the equipment.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm on the road to a complete recovery.
