January 24th, 2012:
Not too long ago, I was just explaining to someone why the movie industry moved to Hollywood: because, unlike New York, Southern California has awesome weather where you could make movies all year round (sunlight = film exposure). The same wonderful climate here also means that Felicia and I rarely have to worry about rescheduling shoots due to the weather. Well, it happened that it was raining when we first met Meghan & Josh for their consultation, and it rained all the way as we drove to San Diego for their engagement session too.
Thankfully we left Burbank real early in case of traffic, and by the time Felicia and I finished our delicious pork cheek ramen, the angry skies had cleared up, and Meghan & Josh soon arrived chirpy & excited for their shoot. Kudos to Meghan for being such a trooper because it was really chilly out. So chilly that Felicia was very sad she did not bring her expedition grade North Face parka along for the shoot. Don’t judge her: she moved from the tropics.
We started at Seaport Village in San Diego before walking to the USS Midway and took our turn among the unceasing line of tourists at the well-known statue of a sailor kissing a nurse (apparently its proper name is “Unconditional Surrender”, and the nurse depicted attended its unveiling). Very apt for these two, seeing as Josh was leaving for another military assignment just a couple of days after this shoot.
Thanks guys for being so awesome to work with. Looking forward to your wedding in July!
