Ahh… the weather has been very unstable lately, one day we have a heat wave and then the next day we’re hit with a cold front. I don’t even remember when’s the last time I dressed properly for the weather. Helen and I probably just picked the hottest day this year for their e-session, but nonetheless we had a great day of photographing. We originally wanted to start around 1pm, but ended up waiting a little until we started because of the heat.
We started off taking shooting in South Pasadena at a cute and quiet commercial district:
I gave them a blank canvas in the background and asked them to do their thing. Helen was presently surprised by Alex’s dance moves. =)
We headed over to these cute phone booths and let them have a little fun inside.. =P
I really like how these B/W pictures turned out. The reflection on the glass gives it a rather abstract and timeless feeling.
The shot above is the next shot right after I asked Helen to kick her fiancé… and look at her confident look and how Alex reacted to it. *grin*
We wrapped up the day at a nearby neighborhood harnessing the beautiful sunlight. I love how the bokeh in the background turned out and how natural the two of them look in their pictures after the first couple of hours of my dry humor.
That’s it folks, I really look forward to Helen and Alex’s wedding this week. I have a feeling this will be something special. Congrats again you two!
