Family shots at Atalaya Castle, Huntington

Usually family pictures are not very exciting, but I thought the Atalaya castle really made for some nice shots. There was another wedding going on inside the castle area, and they would not let us go inside. I’ve never really done any photography at the back of the castle, but it’s really a nice spot. It got us out of the harsh sun, and made for a nice background.
An update on what I mentioned about the Bridal Magazine, don’t ever submit your information to them. This is a warning. I’m still getting constant e-mail from all kinds of locations, and the bad thing unlike Viagra spam, Gmail can’t filter it out. At least the phone calls seems to have stopped.
Another Atalaya Castle Photo Shoot

I did another photo shoot at the Atalaya Castle. It always turns out so nice down there. The only thing is they have covered over this walkway. It makes a much different look than it did with it open up top. It’s still nice but I think I liked it better before. Of course it’s still a great location. I just don’t understand why they would do this, a metal roof looks unnatural in the setting.
Wife in Hospital

If I haven’t been responding to messages or returning call quickly, my wife was in the hospital for a couple of days from surgery on her broken ankle. I will try to get caught up during the week.
