Hello Blog stalkers! Another special blog entry today. I told you I was going to be giving you lots of sneak peeks of my couples for this year, so here’s another one. Wale Ariztos as most people know him is also a photographer in the DMV area. In a way I was hoping just be a guest at his wedding but instead he and Lola agreed I should document their special day, I felt really honored but at the same time pressured that I will be shooting a photographers wedding
The concept behind our first shoot was just to go out and shoot in unconventional places with the their traditional attire. I know most of you would expect us to be in a private park shooting this sort but we decided to try something else. I must give kudos to Lola who was willing try crazy ideas from myself and Wale, I think she will agree with me that it’s the boldest thing she’s ever doneLadies and Gentlemen….Lola and Wale!
PS: Thanks to Bukky for helping out on this shoot with lights and safety in Chinatown
