Weekends for photographers are probably the most exciting times. Why? Because it’s when all the action happens. Typically most wedding, photoshoots, client meetings, etc. happen to fall on either a Friday, Saturday or a Sunday. This past weekend for me happened to be Saturday through Monday!
Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Eric & Emmeline (whose preview you will find at the bottom of this blog!) at some amazingly personal locations! It wasn’t only a time for them to be photographed, but my Diakonia Collective co-worker, Chris, got to also record them for their special engagement video! John got to second for the both of us this weekend! :) (**Make sure to scroll down to see some behind the scene shots as well as their cute preview at the end!!)
Sunday was an evenly packed day: I got to relax and enjoy the presence of old & new friends after a blessed time at church, and then I had a wonderful client meeting with Grace & Sam, whose proposal you might have seen before (here). :)
I ended Sunday night at Grace’s house (whom you may have seen assisting me on shoots, or as Chris’s other second). John, Chris & I, as Diakonia Collective, had the pleasure of assisting her in a personal video project she’s working on! During this time, I got to take some photos and location scout at a location I’ve been dying to shoot at (& just visit in general): The Griffith Observatory.
I had no idea there’d be so many people there on a Monday! It was pretty sweet to be up there and look around! I’d love to come again as a tourist and visit it at night! Star gazing is absolutely wonderful! :)
Unfortunately it was a bit of a smoggy day in LA (pretty typical), but we still got to see the city scape to an extent! :)
John & Chris can be two goofballs that like to act cool (in photographs).
I had John sneak in one photo of me looking out of a telescope up there! :)
After we got a shot for Grace’s project and headed out, a hummingbird had flew past us to say “goodbye.” Thankfully I noticed it fly into a bush, and I whipped out my camera to photograph it resting there! I must have been sitting there for a good couple minutes while it stood still, resting on the branch! I thought it would have flown away much quicker!
Hummingbirds are known for how fast they flap their wings, and their constant movement (also for their beauty). In a small sense I felt like after a long & busy weekend, God was using this little hummingbird to remind me to find rest and peace in Him during by busyness. :)
**NOW, to highlight a moment many of you readers have been waiting for: A Preview of Eric & Emmeline’s Engagement Session!
Here are a couple behind the scene shots of Chris & John working on the engagement video before my session began! :)
They are an absolutely adorable and fun couple! John couldn’t help (silently) laughing as he held the mic!
For example…
& Now, the moment you all have been waiting for… the Sneak Peek from their E-Session!
I absolutely love this quick shot of Eric & Emmeline laughing and enjoying one another’s presence! I got a lot of this (their chemistry) during their session! I can’t wait to share with you all the rest of their shoot!
