Whitson + Juna – Los Angeles Twilight

January 9th, 2012:

On Christmas Eve, I was in my Dad’s backyard, drowsy from a food coma and was being coerced into playing yet another game of croquet, when my phone rang. It was Michelle, whose engagement pictures we shot in the Nevadan desert and the glitz of The Strip in Vegas. Her best friend, Juna, was visiting LA from Jakarta Indonesia with her fiancé Whitson, and they were hoping we could squeeze them into our schedule before they flew home in a few days.

Thankfully, besides an obscene amount of feasting with the family on the calendar, I had no other shoots scheduled.

We met with Juna & Whitson for a shoot to capture the sights of downtown Los Angeles, and I was very impressed by their outfit changes: Juna had three awesome gowns for maximum dramatic effect, and Whitson was not to be outdone, picking up several Hugo Boss suits and new shoes while shopping the day before to keep up with his lady. Michelle tagged along as driver & chaperon and updated Juna’s hair & make-up for each outfit change. Thanks Michelle!

And… the last shot while we were walking back to the car. Camera bag as tripod = MacGyver win!
