Just got back from Vegas this past weekend to help shoot a wedding with our friends at Red 5 Studios and we had a blast!  If you didn't know, Red 5 Studios does AMAZING cinematography work...yup VIDEO!  So yeah, you heard that right, we helped shoot video =)   I'm also trying to get the video posted up on our site for you everyone to check out but more on that tomorrow. There's a ton going on with us right now in terms of our brand and we can't wait to share it all with you.  There's also a wedding and an Engagement Session too!  But with that, I wanted to leave you with a little teaser from the Engagement Session I was just talking about. For those of you checking us out on Facebook...i wrote about this session about two saturdays ago using the word "eyegasm" =) haha This shot though has to be credited to where a lot of our inspiration comes from and those are the folks from the image is found.  You can also see them on our blogroll to the right. erinjustin_teaser.jpg erinjustin_teaser2.jpg

Last week we got to hang with Linda+Dennis at the Griffith Park Observatory for their portrait/engagement session...a place that's been frequented by us about as many times as we've climbed Everest, so you can imagine how stoked we were to finally make our way up the hill and peep out the view.  It was definitely hot that day and we ran into a crowded Observatory but we still a blast.  We started the day with a few casual shots... _mg_6335.jpg and ended the day rockin something a little more formal... _mg_6492.jpg One of the things that we love about Linda+Dennis is that they both come from different cultures...if you couldn't tell by shot above, Linda's Chinese (rockin' the red!) and Dennis is Filipino (rockin' what we call a Barong Tagalog - it's the Filipino version of a formal American suit made of super light weight fabric).  To honor both traditions, Linda+Dennis are going to have this awesome whole day event of a wedding that starts with an all decked out traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony followed by a traditional American ceremony at a near by church.  Is that sick or what?!  It's going to be a sweet day of awesome picture galore that we can't wait to shoot! Here's another one of my favorites that Lauren captured for two reasons...remember the Barong Tagalog?  I love how you can see just how super thinly woven the Barong actually was with all the sunlight in behind him.  Second reason...don't you love how the Linda's ring almost pops out of the picture =)  If you couldn't tell, we love natural light and every time we shoot, we try to use the sun as much as we can!! =) _mg_6544.jpg As for the slideshow, it's just about done so don't forget to check back in tomorrow when it goes up!  Think of these shots as a little appetizer! =) Linda+Dennis - you guys rock and we can't wait for your big day!
