This past weekend Marc & I did our 2nd engagement shoot.\u00a0 We had a lot longer than last time<\/a> to shoot.\u00a0 We used every minute.<\/p>\n

We shot an adorable couple, who might as well be a real-life cowboy & cowgirl.\u00a0 They met on eHarmony and things moved swiftly into a beautiful engagement.\u00a0 And who knew asian guys could own Buicks, wear ostrich boots, fancy belt buckles, and carry a cowboy hat wherever they go!?\u00a0 The bride-to-be admitted they hardly have any photos of them together! We sure fixed that.<\/p>\n

We shot with a few props and stumbled into a semi-styled shoot. I’m always reading about styled shoots…and as I reviewed our shots, I realized my subconscious shot the couple as if we were following them around on their ranch. With the entrance of a mere cowboy hat and a few square dancing moves, it transformed this shoot into something magical and western.<\/p>\n

I shot with 3 different lenses. 50% was shot with my new 30mm 1.4, 35% with the trusty 28-75 2.8 and the remaining 15% was shot with a 10-22 (which was my first time snapping shots with this lens).\u00a0 My favorite to shoot with was the 30…but I am intrigued now with the 10-22.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite shots.<\/p>\n

Paper Diva<\/strong>
\nSometimes I think I have Jamaican blood somewhere in my bloodlines.\u00a0 I put my paper-diva thinking cap on and have been working on some wedding shower invitations.\u00a0 The happy couple (no relation to the cowboy & cowgirl), chose colors of ebony, sunflower and snow.\u00a0\u00a0 You would think these colors are tough to work with, but we have been sailing with awesome design ideas.<\/p>\n

Our good friends the Wangs were at our place till midnight yesterday working the invitation assembly line.\u00a0 Pics to come.\u00a0 I haven’t shot products before hmm…that’s going to be fun.\u00a0 Stay tuned…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
