The Bani Association celebrated their 30th anniversary this past evening at the Pacific Palm Hotel in the City of Industry. It was an honor being their photographer and documenting this important and memorable event in Bani’s legacy. Several well-known figures in their community showed up to give speeches and blessings; food was super yummy; music was good; and the dancing was non-step!
I’d like to personally thank Paul, Emma, and their family for referring me to the Bani Association and giving me this wonderful opportunity. I mainly took group photos of the guests and the speakers in action, but here are some of the wide-angle shots of the event, so you can see a nice view of the evening’s activities.
Yesterday evening, I had the utmost pleasure of being the event photographer for Mr. Manuel Edralin’s 80th birthday celebration held at the Mariott Hotel near LAX. It was night full of laughs, smiles, hugs, and a few surprises, including a performance by Elvis! One of Manuel’s nieces, Edna, called me a few months ago to be the photographer. I’m not sure how she found me but I’m certainly glad she did! Special thanks goes to Edna and her husband Paul. Both were super nice and kind to me throughout the party, offering me a delicious meal at one of the many tables. Really sweet people like Edna, Paul, and Manuel just makes my job as the photographer so enjoyable!
I can only hope to follow in similar footsteps as Manuel and have over 250 family and friends show up to my 80th birthday. Hopefully we all live a healthy and worthwhile life like Mr. Edralin. Happy birthday Manuel! Thank you and your wonderful guests for allowing me to be your photographer :).
