industrial inspiration
Brenda and I had an idea, an idea for a shoot to bring back the old school esthetic while melding it with the modern. Our ideas came to fruition with an amazing team of wedding vendors in San Diego. I'll focus mostly on the portraits in this post, as we have a great feature from Every Last Detail which showcases the details.

kristina & tony / skylines
I flew into Chicago worried, it was downpouring and our session was in five hours, I was checking the weather like a madman. About an hour before our session the rain stopped but it was overcast, still ideal and I was just happy it wasn't raining. We photographed around Chicago and then Kristina and Tony's home. Afterwards, they said we needed to get the Chicago downtown view. As soon as we got to the location, the sun broke and created the most beautiful sunset. I just stopped and stared in awe, I had the most beautiful view and an amazing couple, it was all I needed.
lorraine & catherine / love and basketball
Love is equal for everyone in my eyes and for Lorraine and Catherine its in their hearts. We traveled around LA and hit up some of their favorite spots. Hitting up the basketball court was definitely high on the list and these ladies can play.
kristin & phil / meet me at the jetty
I've never been a big beach person even though I was born in Hawaii and I lived in San Diego for so many years. I always tell people the only thing that takes me to the beach is when a couple wants to photograph there. But when I went to the sand with Kristin and Phil in Costa Mesa, I got to stare out into the ocean and it definitely brought back a feeling of nostalgia. Missing the fact that I lived so close to the ocean and never took advantage of it, I may rethink not hanging on the sand. Especially if I get to hang with some cool folks.
