Tasha + Gnia // Engagements05.31.11

This shoot was so much fun! I’ve driven by this mini-golf course for years and thought it would be so much fun to shoot there someday.. over time I forgot about it.. until I received an email from Tasha with the idea to shoot there! My excitement went from 0-10 in seconds. I got even more excited when I drove up on the place and realized it’s been a while since these larger than life characters had received a good paint job. The more run down, the better. It just adds to the humor! We had as much fun laughing at the creatures around the next corner as we did the actual shooting! Spiders, cave-men, king-kong, pirates.. they were all there in attendance! So much fun. Our next stop was the beautiful concord park. I really got to test out some new techniques I’ve been learning from Jose Villa’s new book Fine Art Wedding Photography..  metering for the shadows, hunting perfect light and freedom of the “non-posed” couple. I learned so much and simply adore the product. I can’t wait to shoot the wedding of this sweet sweet couple in a few months. Their love is so many years strong and their love is deep. This makes my job so much more fun. Check it out!!
