Bryan and Kathryn are old friends of mine from back in the workin at the Starbucks days. Boy am I grateful for the past tense in that sentence! Have you guys heard about the new Starbucks gourmet instant coffee? I had a free sample today and the lady tried to tell me that it was "really good". Yuck! What is this world coming to? Anyways... Recently I got a Facebook message from Bryan asking if we could do their wedding and engagement photos! I love seeing friends meet, fall in love and eventually get married. It's even better when I can be such an integral part of it all. They both really wanted to go down to Balboa Park for their engagements and Bryan thought it would be cool to get some city portraits while we were down. We agreed! But for some reason the days just seem to be getting shorter and shorter and we weren't able to get out of the park until dusk... "No problem!" I said. "We'll just do some night shots!" Now mind you San Diego is nothing like New York with it's big city lights. This meant fast lenses, high speed film and a tripod. Which also brought on a whole new meaning to "Hold that pose!" Heh... Well when it was all said and done we ended up having a blast and getting some really sweet shots. It was great to get use my new Rollei 2.8c finally. The small twin lense really helped with the long exposure hand held stuff. Now I don't plan on doing time exposed portraits again any time soon but I am still really glad that we did! I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Viva San Diego!
