Battle Scars | Katie & Pete

August 16, 2012

Good afternoon everyone,

Two days left until the weekend. I hope everyone has plans especially the weather is cooling down a bit. As for Danny and me, we will be making a trip to Santa Barbara to photograph a wonderful wedding at Four Seasons! Make the most of your summer because it will be over before you know it!

One of more memorable weekends was during Katie and Pete’s engagement photo session here in Los Angeles. They were definitely one interesting pair and they both had a love for rugby! I had to admit during our photo shoot, Katie was one tough cookie especially when she tackled down Pete in one of their following engagement pictures below. In Pete’s defense, he let her take him down, but I am sure Katie can regulate when she needs to anyway. Throughout the engagement photo shoot, they shared stories of their battle wounds from their glorious victories in the sport. Rugby sounds like such an exciting game, but I personally think I am a bit too frail for this contact sport. One hit will send me flying off the field. We started off our engagement photo session in the outskirts of Downtown Los Angeles at a local state park with their rugby uniforms. The grass was nice an green during spring, so there were plenty of field of them to run about while we photographed them in their environment.

After we got enough grass stains from getting roughed up, Katie and Pete cleaned themselves quite nicely for their next engagement photo location at Los Angeles Union Station. During our photo shoot here, the security guards graced us with the Grand Concourse for a few photos before traffic started. Once we had our fill of photos here at LA Union Station, our engagement photo shoot was wrapped up with some cool parasols at Chinatown! The red lanterns and colorful architecture complimented their photos quite nicely. One one of their following engagement photos, a group of girls at Chinatown though they were some sort of celebrity, so they took out their cameras and started to take photos too. I thought adding that photo in this blog was rather fitting. =)

It was definitely a really fun day in the sun with these two. I will be posting up their second engagement photo session at LACMA with more formal wear soon!

Catching the Plane | Cynthia & Joel

April 2, 2012

Good afternoon Los Angeles,

I hope everything stayed dry in the recent rain here in Los Angeles. The weather here is still moody to no end, which is quite interesting since we cannot really expect what will happen next. Although we can always check weather.com, but I still question its credibility since it is a real hit and miss on their reports.

Our next photo adventure took us to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for Cynthia and Joel’s engagement session. Danny and I started the photo shoot early to avoid the afternoon traffic of everything hustling to catch their plane. Since Tom Bradley International has the most windows and I believe the largest of the terminals, it was more suitable for our engagement photography session. We were actually quite fortunate that foot traffic that day was rather sparse to only a handful every few minutes, which made our photo shoot extremely fast and without much interruption. After we all had our fun, we moved our engagement photo session elsewhere to a local cafe in Los Angeles where they actually first met through mutual friends. Since we already sat down at their favorite cafe, we all enjoyed a light lunch and waited until the cafe closed. The owners were gracious enough to let us snap away and capture some fun moments to add into their engagement photo session. Their outfit change fitted this cafe quite well too!

After we had our fun, we concluded their engagement photography session over at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)! We ran around North Campus from Royce Hall and wrapped up the photo shoot inside Powell Library. Since it was the weekend and finals week was over, the campus was all ours! Check out their following engagement photographs. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did.

The following picture was my favorite one out of the bunch from this engagement photo session. It is simple, but somehow stood out amoungst the rest of their beautiful engagement pictures.
