Let's Capture It

A few days later

Camila was glad to rekindle her friendship with Becky. Her parents were happy to know she was back again as well. Both families had lost contact with one another once the Gomez's had moved out of state.

Today was the day that Camila was meeting up with Allyson. She was a little bummed out that she couldn't make it to LA with Shawn. But she didn't want to reschedule with Allyson. She felt it was unprofessional if she did.

She was currently parked outside the venue. There were two trucks and lots of people moving chairs and tables inside. Camila gets out of her car and walks towards the entrance.

"Ms. Cabello!" She hears someone call out. She turns around to see a small figure walking towards her. "It's so great to meet you. I'm Ally," she introduces herself. Camila took a minute before she realized that 'Ally' was her nickname.

"Ah yes!" She jumps back into thought. "Nice to meet you a well. You can just call me Camila," she hugs her lightly.

"Great shall we?" The smaller woman motions towards the venue.

They both enter and Camila's first initial thought was "wow." The venue was huge. She wondered how many guests were coming to the wedding. She was sure going to need another photographer to help her out.

"This place is huge Ally. Can I ask how many guests you have?" She asks the bride to be.

"Yeah I realized after making last minute changes I might as well have upgraded on where the reception was gonna be so I chose a bigger venue. But I have like.. 200 guests, maybe a little less," She tells her. Camila could not stop scanning the room. She loved the fact that there were high ceilings.

"Yeah my fiancé has a huge family. I have a big family too though so yeah. Plus my parents begged me to invite like all of my distant family members," Ally tells her.

"Hey I mean I guess the more the merrier," Camila encourages.

Both women walked around the venue for a few minutes. Ally was telling the movers where to put certain things and Camila was looking around, thinking of where she'd take pictures. She knew she would be going around photographing guests and their friends and family but she always liked to make sure there were certain areas that would really capture everyone in the moment.

"So Camila I was thinking maybe you could place the photo booth next to the DJ," Ally suggested, pointing towards the speakers. Camila looked at the area and thought it would be too uncomfortable. She wouldn't have been able to set up a bench or anything for the photo booth. So she suggested to Ally that she move the photo booth towards the entrance.

"I just don't want it to be too cramped here. I feel like if you have the photo booth over there," Camila pointed. "then your guests will be able to use the bench more freely,"

"Okay that sounds great. Let's go with that," Ally agreed. "Sorry hold on I have to take this," she excuses herself while answering the phone.

Camila uses the free time to message her sister and ask her how her day's going and if she was feeling better than she did earlier in the week. The next day when Becky drove her home, Sofia ended up talking things out with her parents. They had decided it was best to separate, especially after seeing how it was affecting their daughter.

Sofia: Papi seems lonely but things are a little better. I just felt like they were forcing being with each other for me. And it was like.. fake. I feel bad. I feel like I forced mami to leave

Camila: It's not your fault. You can't control any of that. It was time mami was honest with herself and papa anyways. Keep your head up sis I love you
