Alexx & Julio - The Party
As promised, here is part 2 of Alexx & Julio's wedding celebration. They had their reception at a place I doubt I'll ever have the pleasure of shooting at again, Queens Theatre in the Park, which is located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. It's surrounded by the amazing architecture of the 1964 World's Fair - you can see a video from the Fair here. I'd never been over to the park, only to the stadium for a baseball game or two. I highly recommend a visit if you're ever in the area.
Alexx & Julio started the party off with a parade. The two of them, along with friends and family members, marched into the theatre, singing and dancing. That followed by a special dance performance for Julio by Alexx. Later, Julio and his band performed Chan Chan by The Buena Vista Social Club -- which is the song you'll hear in the slideshow. Some of their friends danced for them, one you'll see is a Mime, who's performance incorporated some great images of Alexx & Julio. Alexx's Dad even brought tears to his own eyes by showing images of Alexx growing up. And later, an impromtu performance of Thriller broke out when the song came on.
This party was so much fun. I loved being able to be a part of it and watch all of these amazingly talented people come together to show Alexx & Julio how much they are truly loved.
Special thanks to Ryan Jensen, who captured some great moments from the evening.
And now, for the slideshow....
