Jess and Hugo are in the same graduate program as Danny (of Danny + Fredacille) and we were so glad when they called on us to cover their big day as well.
Hugo’s own words, “if you can make Danny look good, then you’re hired.”
Emma and I had a great time shooting this couple because 1) they were so easy to shoot and 2) we got to take them to some of our favorite spots.
Me, “What do you guys do…when you’re not posing for us??”
Him, “I’m a scientist.”
Me, “Way cool.”
Internal dialogue: Holy string theory, Batman. If cloning becomes legal, I wonder if he would give me a good discount.
After 5 days of treacherous rains that soaked good jeans and flooded parking lots, we had one awesome day. Full of sun and magnificent clouds, and a couple that made PDA look so awesomelly awesome.
So awesome in fact that we brought along an assistant for day (thanks Percy!!) so that i could shoot. Usually, Al makes me the mobile light stand. But this day, I got to break out my gear and join in the pure awesomeness.
Whimsy Floral was recently featured on the Utah Bride blog, and showcased one of our photos from Katy and Nolan’s wedding.
A few weeks before her 18th birthday, Janelle had a portrait session. She arrived with her whole family. Upon first arrival, her dad (whom I affectionately call Sir Leo) stared at us, with a silent demeanor as if to say. I am here to ensure you don’t screw up. He scared me with his silence.
Then, five minutes into the shoot, Sir Leo walks to where I’m testing the light and says:
Can I test the light for you?
And strikes a series of poses that had me laughing hysterically. And from that moment on, we knew that this session would be easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
We’ve done so much work for Janelle and her extended family, that with every event, we feel more and more a part of their clan.
You guys rock.
Oh, and boy can Janelle rock a pose.
It’s been a while since Alfred and I covered a debut (the Philippine equivalent of a sweet 16 or quinceanera), and boy did Janelle do it with a bang.
