My goodness. Eclectic Images Photography, we big time heart you. We just can’t get over the way you captured this San Antonio affair – perfectly. The images all feel like a big, romantic party and we can’t help but feel like we were there, having a grand old time. Dancing with the Mariachi Band, toasting with the beautiful couple. Care to join the party?
July 4, 2011 we decided to take a relaxing sun soaked week in Puerto Rico. From the moment we landed it rained, let’s just say we didn’t have a ton of beach time but we definitely became very familiar with Old San Juan, the historic fortresses and the mojitos. On the last day we were visiting yet another fortress, Castillo San Cristóbal, and we walked up to the top grassy area to look over onto the cliffs and watch all the iguanas run around. There was no one around and Brett oh so cleverly got down on one knee….after that for the sun came out! For our last day and a half the weather was gorgeous. Clearly, I knew that my ring was magical!
Because we were already embarked on a 10 year journey, we wanted our day to be “just a party” – a simple celebration of us and the continuation of our adventure together. With that said, we wanted flowers to be colorful and be the colors of spring. We wanted all the formalities to be swept aside and to have a simple ceremony and a reception that was good food, good people and good conversation. So we omitted much of the traditional and really only observed the cutting of the cakes and a short portion dedicated to toasts. Since I was from Texas and many of our guests were traveling to Lone Star State for the first time, I wanted to have a little bit of Texas. So we had some traditional cuisine of south Texas and of course the most amazing mariachi band one could find, including a dancer!

I’m going with my buddies tomorrow to determine an active Mariachi band inside my men restaurant. I have not seen one before and wondered what it really was like. My mother stated she went once and also the performers did pelvic thrusts within their faces and danced up for grabs. I’m SHY if this involves public obscenities like this and you’ll see me drained when they do this in my experience. LOL! Performs this really happen??

I’ve had photography classes, and that i did photography projects previously, nothing large. This will probably be around an hour approximately of photography for any renewal of vows/marriage ceremony. Just how much must i charge?

Matt ‘the Terror” Serra beat George St Pierre fair and square. I don’t dispute or reason that fact. Things I am asking everybody is exactly what they think about the credibility from the UFC and where did they take. They’ve yearned to become a professional approved entity yet they’re carrying out a mixed road to wrestling, boxing and commercialism. Yes, it is within the title of entertainment and also the almighty dollar and my cable bill each month shows just how much I like the game.
A ‘reality show’ contestant that will get an opportunity in the welterweight belt without beating the very best challengers? A scheduled contract fight between probably the most recognized martial artists and also the leader from the organization? The final UFC were built with a Mariachi band, a fighter entering the ring having a silence from the lamb mask, and hype hype hype. What’s the way forward for the quickest growing sport in the usa?
