I pulled out my Hasselblad 500c a few weeks ago and decided to shoot around the neighborhood. I shot a roll of expired Agfa 400 120bw. It was my first time shooting this Hasselblad ever since I got it back in 2004. It was hanging around in a box for quite awhile. When I assisted Shaun Gabbard of G2 Images, I use to shoot the Hasselblad all the time. It was good to play with it again. I’m a little rusty.





Here’s another teaser from the engagement session. I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding!!











I had a great time at this engagement session. Vanessa and Chris are such a fun couple and so much in love. I’m excited to shoot their wedding this summer!
The day started at Stanford University. We ventured around the campus and I managed to find some sweet spots. The lighting that day was beautiful. The arches, long hallways and the columns all demonstrate the awesome architecture and design the campus has… all perfect for some artistic shots. There were a lot of tourists visiting that day so we had to strategically avoid them. We also stopped by the Cantor Museum which is located on campus. It was my first time there and wow… it is a beautiful museum and there is no charge to go in. I would highly recommend checking it out if you have a chance.
After we finished the shoot on the campus we headed to downtown Palo Alto. I had this crazy idea while driving to shoot a few fun shots over by Facebook. I was thinking of something different and the shots turned out great. Vanessa and Chris are so fun and were good at following directions. They are also happily in love which makes it that much easier on a photographer. The weather was gorgeous and it was just an awesome day!
Last but not least, we made a pit stop for frozen yogurt. Yum! Congrats again, Vanessa and Chris – we can’t wait to see you tie the knot! Enjoy the photos!
I’ve been recently featured on the Wedding Paper Divas blog. Jenny and Eric’s wedding from this early this year is their newest “Real Weddings” entry. They have awesome articles on the blog and great wedding invitations on their main site.
