Long Beach Airport Marriott

I was looking at a long day at Long Beach (1pm - 11pm, plus 3 hours driving) I left home 10:30AM (2 & 1/2 hours before my schedule). I went through some heavy traffic, but I arrived at Long Beach about 40 minutes before my schedule.

After a few limo shots, we went to Japanese Garden, located at CSU Long Beach. Getting to the Japanese Garden was somewhat tricky, because the garden was located inside Cal. State Long Beach.

Before reception, when I was taking detail shots of the table, I leaned on my camera and broke my flash cable. It didn't really effect my work because I carry 3 identical cameras at the weddings just in case. So, broken cable didn't effect me at all. Well, I'm out $60.00 :(

Inside Long Beach Airport Marriott

They rented the entire section of Long Beach Airport Marriott for wedding reception. It was one of the fanciest wedding receptions I have ever seen.

Pictures were returned to the clients in 18 days at Starbucks Coffee. I met the newly weds and hand them the albums. They loved the pictures.

Later, they sent me a nice thank you card plus they wrote me a good testimonial at my website on July 4 [click here]
