Dietmar + Gemma | Death Valley Astrophotography

I love being out under the stars in our National Parks, so when Dietmar and Gemma told me they were coming in from England to elope in Vegas and wanted to have their wedding pictures in the stark nothingness of Death Valley and under the vast night skies, I was totally in.  We met up just before sunset and headed to Badwater Basin to start the shoot off before hitting a couple other spots and finishing up at Zabriski Point.

Thank you both for your epic patience (creating these type of pictures takes time) and I thoroughly hope you are enjoying your California honeymoon!

Anne + Andrew | San Pedro Engagement Photography

July 26th, 2014:

San, Pedro, Engagement, Photographer, Los, Angeles, California

Blog post by Felicia

Earlier this week, we were headed to Anne & Andrew’s engagement shoot in stop-and-go traffic when we got rear-ended hard on the freeway, and the impact shoved us into the car in front of us. Shaken but otherwise (generally) unscathed, we eventually lost sight of the car that hit us. While I called 911, Rob called Anne & Andrew to let them know, in case we had to reschedule: LAPD informed us that they were really busy, and would dispatch an officer when one was available.

Thankfully, we always leave for shoots with a LOT of buffer time, and after a CHP officer arrived at the scene, we sufficiently composed ourselves and made our way to San Pedro for the shoot, arriving well on time.

It was also “one of those days” for Anne & Andrew – including misadventures with accidentally-dyed pants – so we were glad that we could at least go ahead with their shoot as planned.

Luckily for us, Anne & Andrew are so comfortable with each other and were a breeze to photograph. Enjoying easy banter with Anne & Andrew helped me temporarily ignore the nagging strain in my neck, back, and shoulders, although that night I truly felt how bloody heavy my favorite lens is!

Thanks Anne & Andrew for the lighthearted shoot!

Denise + John | Griffith Park and Downtown Los Angeles

May 24th, 2013:

Los, Angeles, Engagement, Photography, Photographer, Session, City, Hall, Griffith, Park, Grand

Denise & John are fellow residents of Burbank and are a super chill & fun couple. We started off at Griffith Park, made our way downtown, and shot till night fell. Felicia was especially enamored with Denise’s “pin-up” style, and I suspect she now has some ideas of her own for our anniversary shoot this year.

Congrats Denise & John! We’re looking forward to your wedding next month!

Chris + Christina | Death Valley Astro-Engagement Session

(Yes, that IS the Milky Way!)

Blog post by Felicia:

Chris & Christina contacted us right before we left for our trip to the Philippines, so our interactions with them had been solely through phone and email. Chris & Christina had initially planned for a beach shoot, but then, several weeks ago, we got an email from them asking for the “omakase of photography” instead.

Now, if you’ve been to omakase sushi, it means that you allow the chef to decide what to serve you. Or, as Wikipedia explains, “… a Japanese phrase that means “I’ll leave it to you” (from Japanese makasu (任す, “to entrust”)

I don’t really know how to put into the words the elation, honor, and excitement that Rob and I felt when that email appeared in our inbox. Trust is the best gift anyone can give to us, and Chris & Christina essentially gave us free reign and full artistic liberty. They even showed up in Death Valley with what looked like the wardrobe department of a small movie production, so that we could pick what we wanted them to wear. How much more awesome can these people get?!

[Brides- and grooms-to-be out there: once you’ve done your research, completed consultations and selected your photographer (or any other wedding vendor, for that matter), trust them to do what they do best: it takes the stress off of you, and off of them!]

So anyway, despite the additional time and cost investment to take us up on an astro photography shoot, Chris & Christina gave us a hearty YES. Bear in mind, they’ve never met us before, but they made the long drive out to Death Valley and headed out into the vast nothingness of the desert in the middle of the night with us.

Thank you, Chris & Christina, for representing why we love what we do.
