I spent Martin Luther King, Jr. Monday at Disneyland. Having spent a great amount of my time there when I was at UCI, it was literally like a second home to me, not to mention to Ate Tin and Annie. We went there after work/class on the weeknights, if only to forget a hectic day or terrible feeling. It was, and always has been, a treat for me to be there. This long weekend, however, was different. For once, I didn’t go to Disneyland to just hang out and have fun. On that MLK weekend, I was on assignment which, I have to say, I really didn’t mind, especially since I’m shooting with two of my mentors =)

Ate and Jeff had their first date at a restaurant in Downtown Disney, and since then have invested in annual passes each year so they could spend some time together somewhere that never fails to bring happiness to people. It was only fitting that they asked for their lifestyle shoot to take place there. I saw Disneyland through (forgive the upcoming pun) a new set of lenses. That day wasn’t about allowing myself to be a kid; it was about watching Ate and Jeff, and looking forward to their Happiest Ever After…
