Top This Party

Because my dad shoots for Servite, he was invited to shoot for a very high end party being thrown by the family of the quarterback. The house was unbelievably gorgeous, something us mere mortals cannot attain to. It's the kind of house and landscaping you see in a very high end magazine and think, "Who really lives in a house like that? Do people really spend hundreds of thousands on landscaping?" Well, yes they do.

The party was being filmed for a T.V. show called "Top This Party." So there were camera crews running around everywhere filming the 1200 plus guests enjoying themselves. I can honestly say, I don't think you can top this party. They had the Beach Boys play the warm up act, the real Beach Boys. The main act was the guy who won America's Got Talent - Terry Fator. He was good. You should book him for your next party!

Since the father is a Hollywood agent and manager, we were told that there would be celebrities at this party, but not to waste time shooting them. Afterall, the family sees them all the time. I recognized Ace from American Idol, but I wasn't going to shoot him until he asked if I could get a picture of them. Then Kimberly Caldwell joined us! I took the shot and acted all cool. Didn't let on that I recognized them at all, but all I could think of the rest of the night was Ace's version of Father Figure... Dreamy...

Notice my dad in the background. He's so not star struck. He didn't even realize what was going on!

There were others there... I shot Mike Scioscia without even realizing it. I'm sure there were people I didn't recognize, but I wasn't looking for stars, just a good shot!
