Yesterday I photographed a wedding–but it wasn’t one of "my" weddings. I was working as a second photographer for my good friend Cynthia Halverson. The ceremony was at Saint Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Wilmington, California with a reception that followed at Hotel Maya (formerly Coast Long Beach Hotel) in Long Beach, California.
