Here's the final two post of the Aponte's three-post wedding. Needless to say, they were a very happy couple with alot of friends who shared a beautiful and fun day with Daniel and Denielle. We are very thankful for having the opportunity to capture some of the amazing-ness! There's a tone of great images, here's some of the favorites.....
So, we've been on solid ground for about a week now. And I'm still dizzy.
We decided a cruise was a great way to rest, relax and have a lot of fun, so, we booked a Carnival cruise this year to explore the "Mexican Riviera". It turns out we were right, we had a great time, we slept, ate, slept, watched shows, had a drink, slept, ate, went to gym, slept some more :)
Needless to say, I gained like 5 lbs! I'll post a review of the cruise a little later, but for now I wanted to share one of the many little adventures we experienced on vacation.
Well, as we docked in Cabo San Lucas and made our way down the port/marina, we noticed these little funny-looking "wildlife huts". As we neared them and peered into the cages, we saw the most adorable sight ever. A baby tiger and a baby lion! When we realized that we could take a photo with them for a $35 donation, we wasted no time in paying the donation and getting our photo taken with them. Yes, yes, I know....it's actually pretty cruel that they have these wild animals there, in 110-degree heat, working long, long shifts just for profit....but....we just couldnt resist!
Now, reflecting back on the size of both the tiger's and lion's claws, we sure did take a risk. Although cute and cuddly, these animals are wild and could accidentally scratch either one of us and cause some serious damage! But oh well, at least we have some cool photos and video :)
Here's a pic a friend took with our camera....(I'll scan and post our "official" photo later)
the tigers dont seemed amused
(10.26.09)Wow those kitties are sooo cute!! I love cats but looks like only Dina knows how to hold the kitty in an orderly manner lol poor tiger. On the other hand I love your tans :)
(10.28.09)That's actually the way we were told to hold the Tiger and the Lion when we sat down to take the picture.
We didn't get video but it was really amazing to be with those glorious animals :) Good times
Ok, so Dina...you took modeling to a whole new level. You were not gonna let that lion take you down without a good shot! That is so cute!
(10.31.09)Cool Video! Poor tiger I would have been mad too if I had a broom in my face. Nice memories!
(11.02.09)they were soo cute!:) when do you ever get the chance to hold and take a picture w a real baby lion and tiger, never..i regret not taking a picture w them :(
(11.18.09)How cool Abraham, you guys look so relaxed even with the animals on top of your laps!! That's great!!
(02.25.10)Wow, its like having a preview to Isaiah 11:6. I am going to have a tiger one day!

Last month, we drove out to sunny Santa Barbara for the fun and happy wedding of Daniel and Dennielle. They were nothing short of awesome that day, both of them remained calm and happy throughout their special day and made us feel so welcomed. We had lots of fun capturing images of their wedding, thank you so much you guys!!
Also, I have to mention.....Daniel+Dennielle decided not to go with a traditional wedding cake, they had a "cupcake" cake.....which I have to say...were the MOST AMAZING, DELICIOUS cupcakes i've ever had!! Hopefully Dennielle will post a comment on the name of the bakery she bought them from! :)
Well, there's plenty of images from their wedding, so I've broken this post seperate posts.....here's part 1..."getting ready"
