Plan Be

Our original plans for this photo shoot were pretty much a bust.  Old Town, San Diego is a special place for Lisa and Chris.  Naturally, they wanted to take photos there, but everyone and their mom decided it was the place to be on that warm Sunday.  After trying to find parking for 30 minutes they texted me to go to Plan B. B for Balboa Park.  
This was my first time to Balboa Park, San Diego.  It was busy there too, but the area is huge and we managed to find un-populated areas.  Walking around I instantly felt inspired.  So many lovely museums and beautiful architecture.  I definitely want to come back here just to visit or for another photo shoot.
Of course, even here it didn't start out as planned.  The Japanese garden didn't allow photography, the other garden they liked had no flowers in bloom and found out their favorite little Mexican restaurant had closed it's doors.  :(  
In spite of all this, Lisa and Chris never got the least bit discouraged. In fact, we took our bad luck and kicked it in it's arse and made our own good luck.  Throughout the whole shoot I could see their love for each other shine.  They were never nervous and always knew what to do.  I think it's because they weren't trying to do anything, but just be.  Be in love.  Plan Be.

Jade + Charlie at the Salton Sea

One day I got an e-mail from fellow photographer Brian C. Janes asking me if I was interested in shooting a couples shoot for some friends of his since he would be busy with his current project All That Glitters, I said hell ya.  And when he said they were interested in shooting at the Salton Sea, I said HELLZ YA!
I have always wanted to shoot at the Salton Sea.  The dead salt-encrusted fish, the creepy abandoned houses and that smell. If that doesn't scream romance I don't know what does.  Seriously, it's the perfect landscape.
Jade and Charlie are a beautiful couple whose love for each other is apparent but against that post-apocalyptic atmosphere it became magical.  I had an amazing time with these two.

Jenny and Will

Will and Jenny are two cutie pies in love who share an affinity for art and LA so we shot at Union Station which is so very LA to me and then rode the Gold Line over to Little Toyko.  If you look hard enough Little Toyko has tons of cool graffiti art.  Murals and murals of them in fact.  The day was super hot and I had some technical problems with my flash but we had fun and that's what matters.  Here are some of my favorites.  Enjoy!

Thanks Jenny and Will for lending their pretty faces and for helping me discover old and new areas of LA.
