Downtown LA Engagement Session: Ed + Jen
August 22, 2008 | Filed Under engagement | Leave a Comment
i have met jen and ed briefly at the start and at the end of the e session. though vince did all the shots,
i can not help but post a few lines as downtown LA is special to me as it is very special to them.
almost everyday i pass by the walt disney concert hall, and most days, photographers-pro or
hobbyists alike can be seen capturing different angles of downtown’s most beautiful
structure (in my opinion); so when i learned that they wanted their e session done at the
historic bunker hill, i was excited.
some days, on my way to work,while passing through the disney concert hall along grand ave,
i would imagine them right in the middle of grand ave backdropped by the downtown sky,
the disney concert hall and the skyscrapers, and i was ecstatic when i saw some of the
photos conveying what i have imagined.
and there were more surprises…
it was a pretty day. the sun was low, it was at its best..
there was a slight chill in the air which was just perfect for a walk around the concert
hall’s grounds,
there was an ongoing concert which gave the place an ambience of ‘busy-ness’;
it was a sunday so it was just pleasantly busy =)

Westin Pasadena Wedding: Duke + Sheryl

and she said:
there is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved
and it is so obvious they both found it; sealed it in marriage at westin pasadena
it was a night so special as it commenced the beginning of ‘togetherness’;the end of a long-distance relationship; the beginning of a new life; the end of singlehood.
it was indeed a privilege witnessing and capturing this special event; it was a bonus that sheryl was so subtle with her poses ; that duke caught on pretty quickly and went along with her.

08.08.08 Wedding. The hotel is so photogenic, we didn’t run out of places to shoot and time was the only thing that stopped us. A dilemma I’d rather have anytime. Lighting is wonderful, it is very warm giving this yellowy ambiance. Their staff were very helpful. Someone even suggested we do one of our shots with the grand piano and I didn’t have to ask.
Lastly, every time I edit, I always heave a sigh of relief for having Carla around. Not only for being the extra eye, but also for capturing stuff that is surely impossible for me to take when she’s not around. A perfect example is photo number 7 & 8 (where their elbows are resting in some sort of balcony rail). I took the wider angled photo #7 while Carla took a closeup shot at almost the same instant (#8).
