AVIA | A Rooftop Soiree

When I wasn't nibbling at the candy table at a fab little soiree on the rooftop of Long Beach's AVIA Hotel, you could find me shooting. Now, I was trying to be sneaky about dipping into the the candy jars. Of course, I'm sure I could have been sneakier ... Note to self: When eating a blueberry candy stick, your tongue and lips will turn blue. Well, so much for sneaky.

By the way ... the AVIA is a sexy little hotel. If you're ever in the area, check it out. For the time being, check out the video.

Congrats to Andrinique and Melissa Selmanson for a beautifully executed event.

Leave It To Me Meet 'n Greet

The Date:  June 23, 2009.

The Setting:  Sexy outdoor patio of X Bar at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, Century City, California. 

The Occasion: Mixer for Beverly Harris’ Leave It To Me Events.

Another opportunity to hobnob with wedding industry professionals.  Although I didn’t do too much hobnobbing myself since my skills were required behind the camera. 

When viewing the world through a small viewfinder, life can become a little more concentrated ... beauty is much more obvious … talents more apparent.  This was the case with Beverly.  You can tell by the reactions of the attendees that this event planner has a fan club in the making.

Enjoy the video of this fun little soiree.  

(Grab a mic everybody!) ... It was a good night (woohoo) … let’s do it, let’s do it again.
