One of the key parts of shooting any wedding, at least to us, is to capture each detail of the day. If you're already married then you'll know what I'm talking about when we say that the wedding day goes faster than you realize.  And sometimes because that, the Bride doesn't even get to see all the little details that she and even her Groom, worked so fervently to put together!  So we really make it a point to try to capture those things...from the shoes, to the ring, to the dress and even down to the center pieces...they're shots Lauren and I have to capture! =) So today, here are our favorite Details shots of 2008, in no particular order or category...kind of!  Enjoy! =) Wasn't sure if this one is considered a detail shot but eh, what they hay?! Not sure what it is with this shot exactly but we love it nonetheless =) Another tweener here but no faces+accenting the shoes=Detail shot to us! Seriously?!  Who actually gets to drive off in one of these?!!! These next two shots landed on our Favorite list because even though they are the same location they almost look completely different.  The first we were able to catch the last bit of twilight in the sky...the second, pitch black sky. Last but not least, our favorite dress shots! Off camera lighting on this shot was perfect! ________________________________________ To inquire about availability, packaging/pricing, email us at Weddings@johnlauren.com For general questions/comments: John@johnlauren.com or Lauren@johnlauren.com

OK, so John's totally going to hate me for this one but I HAVE to share!!  It's Monday and we all need a little laugh to start our week! Sorry honey!! =) hahaha

 So, we had an engagement shoot in the lovely Old Town Pasadena and we had such a great time! we had our new assistant with us, teaching her new things with the camera and getting a feel for posing and how John composes the couple for the shoot.

 John is very admitate about me being the "Front Man" for the business, but I get so nervous, I kind of just stand back and let John do all the talking while I get in the zone the way I am used too, by getting a feel for the couple, and when I feel like I am getting a connection through the lens, then I am more vocal. Sometimes, I kind of walk around and scope out the area while John is with the clients.

Well, when you see the slide show of their awesome engagement session, you will see the cool spot I found! Literally, it was perfect!!! It was snooping at its best. No other word can describe the location. Just wait :) But as I turned back to John and the awesome couple to tell them of the cool spot, I can't help but think, what the heck is he doing!!! I was laughing so hard from a distance...

You may not know this, but when John is in the zone, he is so in the zone!

Seriously, does he have to get that close? Isn't that why we have a 70-200? OH, but he gets even closer!

I finally have to walk up to them and get one up close, cause really, those shots didn't really show any justice of the yoga pose that was happening!!!

I was laughing so hard, I almost pee-ed my pants, and being pregnant, it was so possible too!!! This was rip your pants material!!!

I really can't wait for all of you to see the finished product! It was our very first early morning shoot, and is probably my favorite time of the day to shoot. It wasn't hot, not crowded, no sun beating down on us. I really enjoyed it!  I love you babe! hehe =)
