The weatherman had promised us rain, thunderstorms and even more rain. Naturally it was blisteringly hot, not a cloud in the sky, and we were dressed in black. Sharon and Barley wanted a urban feel to their shoot, so we headed into Melrose Arch, permits in hand, and stopped traffic. Literally. So an urban feel, a serious 50’s style dress, Harajuku Lovers shoes, skinny ties, Scarface references, traditional African mixed in with high end style. Killer bee images left right and center. There was even a Mbira … it was that kind of day. The sound of the main table getting down and singing along to Bumper to Bumper is on heavy rotation in my head.

A couple of people have asked about my tweet about sharpness being overrated. If you didn’t follow the link, it was a comment on the fact that every week we see wedding photographers over-sharpening their images to a crisp. Think about it.
