I really like San Jose. I’m not exactly sure why. My Grandfather went to San Jose State and always loved to rub it in Fresno State’s face when his Spartans stuck it to us in football. I think it caused me to have a respect for the south bay city. I also like San Jose because it has a lot of history in it and it doesn’t take that long to get there from Fresno.
Well last night I was asked by the up and coming photographer Jamie Suh to assist him in photographing his friends Chue and Lee. Jamie flew in from L.A. and was amazed that I drove from Fresno. Jamie and I hit it off and had fun scouting the historic Hayes Mansion. The mansion which was built at the turn of the 19th century has hosted Presidents and dignitaries from around the world. I asked if it was haunted and the staff stressed that it wasn’t but that it was built by the same company that built the Winchester Mystery House.
The staff were really laid back and even allowed me special access to the suite above the reception hall to take photos during the ceremony. If you ever get the chance to stay at the hotel you will not be disappointed as it’s relatively inexpensive and is in a great location.
The wedding was relaxed and the food was incredible. I wish Chue and Lee all the best, you both are great and have the friendliest families.
