A Day Shopping with Angela.. Sheeren’s Vintage Store Los Angeles

September 29, 2009 – 12:37 pm

Here is a shoot from a couple weeks ago that I had been excited to post but had to wait til the Utterly Engaged team launched issue #04  OLD SCHOOL.. I was asked to shoot a private shopping day with Angela Giang with Shop L’Atelier.  The shoot was supposed to take place at the cute and little Shareen’s Vintage shop up in LA. So Eva Chiou with Red Velvet Occasions and my self headed up there in pursuit of this little hidden gem.. when we got there we thought we were given the wrong address.We were in the middle of huge industrial type buildings.. this was also before the shop was opened so we had no idea that the stores location was in the middle of a warehouse. thats right WAREHOUSE! I have never seen so much vintage stuff all in one location.. Stinks it was all girl stuff..

What stinks even more is that boys aren’t even allowed in there.. they made a special exception for me since I was the photographer and that we were shooting before store hours..

Check out how HUGE this place is.. whats even more incredible is that there was probably triple the clothes here on the other side still in bags ready to be looked through..

Meet Angela..Personal vintage shopping extraordinaire!!

Check out how awesome these dresses are…

this dress was hand made out of an old dress.. super cute..

they even have a wedding dress section..

Angela trying on a few dresses..

Short and sweet.. if you want more information on how to find this place or how much the dresses cost check out the magazine article in Utterly Engaged HERE!

Meet the ELLSWORTH’S

September 21, 2009 – 1:11 pm

Sorry I haven’t bloged in awhile.. we have been shooting like crazy and have some awesome stuff to post.. you will all just have to be patient… but for now you get to enjoy one of the raddest couples on the face of this planet..

Meet Roger and Lyndzee Ellsworth with Ellsworth Photography.. also known as The ROG and L-Town (formerly known as L-TRAIN but Roger randomly decides to switch back and forth like today for instance right after I finished this post so lets call her L-Train and then when your done reading this blog Roger will change it back so then call her L-Town until Lyndzee doesn’t want to be called either of those names and just go by Lyndzee).

So ROG and L-Towntrainyndzee are quite possibly two of the funnest most energetic photographers we know and just down right awesome people not to mention A   MAZING photographers. Since Kristin and I just recently got engaged Rog and Lyndzee thought it would be a good idea to get some engagement photos done.. since we are terrified of being in front of the camera [much more prefer to be behind it :) ].. I only agreed to it if I could take photos of the two of them as well.. We had such an awesome time.. seriously one of the funnest times I have ever had.. Here are some of the results from the day..

love their style..

Honestly it wasn’t even fair.. I mean.. look at how well these two photograph!

This is when we started fighting over the light :)   it was sooo perfect!

I love this shot..

64 ounces of EP love.. those of you who know them know what Im talking about.. SOO Good!

After an amazing photo sess we hit up good ol’ cheesecake factory both of our personal fav’s.. Pretty much it was an epic day! and cant wait to do it again next week… and the week after that … and probably the week after that too :)

Thank you Roger and Lyndzee for an awesome day. You guys have become a very special part of our lives the last few months and not only really and appreciate your photography but are so blessed to call you friends. We look forward to the many more new and exciting opportunities that lie ahead in years to come..

If you want to check out our photos you can see them on their blog here.

Kist Wyley

May 28, 2009 – 5:27 pm

Ok today I had the extreme pleasure and joy of shooting  my sweetie and amazing second shooter Kristin Wyley. We have been so busy shooting other people that we decided it was time to have a fun little portrait sess for ourselves. So this is long overdue but it was good timing since Kist graduated from Cal State Fullerton this past weekend with her degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. So I hope you enjoy.. this was her first time behind the camera except for when I make her stand there to check exposure and lighting ;) I think she did an awesome job hamming it up!!

Def my fav :)

I love the colors.. 

Anthropologie what..?

no these are def my fav ;)

I love this shot..

How sweet is this Giant tree.. SOOO COOL!!

I love this look on the right. She will probably kill me for posting it but it was too good to not!

 

Killer light in the field

and by far my favorite shot of the day! For real this time! This is totally Kist!

Awesome shoot! Kristin I am super proud of all your hard work over the last couple years and all you have contributed and how it has finally paid off!
