A Twilight Engagement | Tran + James | 06.03.2012

June 13, 2012 in Engagements, Love

I absolutely LOVE themed photo sessions! Regardless if it's an editorial, engagement or personal work, just throw me an idea and we will get the ball rolling! This was exactly what Tran did for her engagement session and she went beyond just ideas, she was thinking like an art director and planned up everything she wanted for this twilight theme shoot. We even spent couple weekends out scouting for the perfect locations, and found this secret area within the Cal Poly Pomona's campus. With all the props and location setup, it was up to me to frame and execute the photos! Hope Tran and James loved these photos as much as I love taking them!

According to Weird California, Salton Sea is one of the oddest place in California and personally there are no doubts about that. Just imagine a HUGE lake with high concentration of salt in the middle of a desert; and along the shore there are hundreds of fish carcasses and the debris of old vacation homes eroding down into the ground its sitting on. What once a popular vacation destination, now it looks as if a bomb had detonated in the middle of the desert and destroyed everything and kept the lake in pristine condition.

So why would anyone go there?? Well, just check out some of the gorgeous landscapes and backdrop it has.. now just add a gorgeous model, photographers and half a day of some creativity experiments, you'll get the perfect formula for a photo session ;)
