b * c | on a date

April 1, 2010

last month we met up with bethany and corey over on the westside for a lovely morning session. now while i love the light at sunset, morning sessions are just as awesome. there’s just something about the morningness of it all that gives it that quiet, fresh feel. we started out in temescal park over by pacific coast highway. this was where bethany surprised corey with a picnic and hike for his birthday last year. from what i understand, they also do some animal rescue work and decided it would be fun to bring their two little furry friends, ethel and kujo, along for the morning.

after that we all jumped in the car and headed over to the third street promenade for some santa monica photo fun. this was where they had their second date and also where the dogs first met (and approved of each other). they figured, if the dogs are okay with it – it’ll probably turn out to be a good thing. and sure enough, the dogs were right. more than just the imagery itself, i love how at home they are with each other. happy. comfortable. in love.

speaking of love, they took us out for crepes afterwards and boy was that good. we had mentioned our love for crepes and before we knew it, we were enjoying sweet & savory crepes and mimosas while chatting about the wedding. good times!

it rained pretty hard the night before so we were all expecting clouds and rain, but got signature california clear skies instead. isn’t the morning light just incredible? i need to make a note to do early morning sessions more often. here’s a teaser of this dynamic duo for now. more to come later, i promise.

PLUSH LEATHER GOODNESS

February 16, 2010

we recently got another batch of albums in and i just realized we’ve never posted photos of them, so here they are! there’s nothing like the anticipation of opening a package of gorgeous, lush leather albums and running your fingers over them. yes i’m a bit obsessive when it comes to these premium albums – the soft touch and (new car smell!) of the leather is so uberly cool.

the photographic prints have a 2mm substrate between them, making for sturdy, thick pages that lay completely flat when opened. the colors are out of this world and exactly as we see them on our calibrated monitors in the studio. you have a choice of seven colors to choose from and every album comes with a swank cloth cover to protect it when you’re not showing it off to friends and family. check it out.

jasmine * hao | hitched!

February 3, 2010

we had the best time at jasmine and hao’s wedding recently. very rarely do we get a one-location shoot (preps, ceremony, reception all at the gorgeous beverly hills four seasons) and we took full advantage of it. it was a photo+cinema day for us so we brought the entire studio and then some to make sure everything was covered. this was suppose to be a teaser post, but i had a tough time picking just a few photos because we got so. much. good. stuff! huge thanks to amy + jean for helping out!

who says it never rains in LA? we had a very nasty week of rain and gloomy skies just before their wedding so everyone was on pins and needles, but as you can see, the clouds parted and it was a glorious day in the 90210.

this was the view from the balcony looking down at the ceremony site. when we saw this in the morning, we knew it would make for an awesome first look location. wait till you see the trailer for the film – epicness ensues.

pete alles from the hotel coordinated everything and the lighting/dj was done by none other than jack of tmmpro. jasmine * hao, thanks so much for having us on your special day. we have a few projects to get to before we can come back to this wedding, but i am so looking forward to it. more imagery to come from this beautiful day later this month!
