Sofia and Manny choose to take their engagement pictures at the Legion of Honor.
It is a beautiful place, with towering columns surrounding the Court of Honor.
I photographed Sofia’s family a week before this shoot and it was scorching hot! This day was the complete opposite.
The weather was foggy and damp. It was a very San Francisco day for a beautiful San Francisco photo shoot.
Braedon and Lindsey must have imagined this scenic location because they totally dressed up to coordinate with it! The colors were simply gorgeous on this warm summer day in Carlsbad, a city located in Northern San Diego County.
Day 3 was the last day of the Film is Not Dead workshop. The sun came out and we were challenged with it. Normally open shade is our very dear friend but without much shade around, we faced the lighting at hand to photograph this lovely married couple.
These couple portraits were shot with Fuji Pro 400H on my Minolta Maxxum 500si with a 50mm f1.8 lens. This camera was the first Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera I owned. Before shooting with a DSLR, this was my main camera. It hasn’t been used much the past few years so it was nice shooting with it again.
The marine layer was in full effect in Solana Beach. It created a soft, diffused light without sacrificing comfort! The weather was warm, just like Alexis and Andrew, a happily married couple kind enough to model for us at Jonathan Canlas’ Film is Not Dead workshop.
