Weddingsin times like these you have to improvise, adapt, overcome. this year we have broadened our horizons and learned quite a bit. on our latest outing into the wilderness beyond being san diego wedding photographers, we dipped our photographic toes into the unfamiliar waters of fashion photography and, as katy perry said, we liked it. :)
this was not just any fashion show. it was a SAN DIEGO ART INSTITUTE class project and a benefit for the KID ANGEL FOUNDATION. the location was san diego's first tapas bar, La Gran Tapa.
the show was amazing!
you may not know it by just watching, but fashion shows are super fast paced. luckily april and i got to mingle a while before the show and get some cool back stage shots of the calm before the storm. april even updated her blog (i know, right) with some of her images. click here to take a gander at her shots.
claire, dmarkis, and justin, the make-up and hair stylists from RICHARD JOSEPH SALON in san diego did an incredible job. they were all uber cool and super easy to work with. if you want your hair and makeup to look awesome, hire them. today. they straight up rule.
i want to thank melody, her mom barbara, and everyone that helped to make this show a success. we appreciate you providing this opportunity to step outside our "safe zone." april and i had such a wonderful time i think we're hooked. we'd love to do more shoots like this. so much fun!

Stepping outside your comfort zone is always a scary thought. You rocked it though and you can't tell this was your first fashion shoot. I am a beginner so I feel that anxiety everyshoot. Promise me it goes away!!! LOL!

Always rockin the funky fresh images my friends! I also dig the new font your using on your images. Very bold, love it! It was great seeing you at the Kissmas Party!
SO much cooler than your average fashion show shots! I'm convinced you can pretty much do anything and do it well.
Me likey!!! That first shot reminds me of cuba meets scarface! Is this a new logo, or did you switch the font up just for this shoot? It has an edgier feel to it?
Nice work! These are great.
The backstage shots are freakin' phenominal! Is there anything you can't do??? :-) Love the tight shot of the girl fixing her shoe and the two girls on the couch. Hotness! You definitely made it work.
