Last week at Gina and Michaels wedding I took a few photos of them in a parking lot. This past Saturday at Adam and Jen’s wedding I ended up in a parking lot again! It dawned on me that I do this QUITE a lot! The first time I did this was a few years ago at Dhivya and Jays wedding. I’ve told this story to many couples before, but I think it warrants a post on the blog: The night before Dhivya and Jays wedding I received a call from Dhivya telling me our post ceremony photo session would be cut short. The location we were planning on going to would be out of the picture. She gave me the address of a park to scout out in the morning that they would meet us at. When I arrived it looked like labor day weekend + 100 degree weather with people everywhere!! I was in a panic. I wanted them to have the best photos EVER yet where was I supposed to take them at? I started driving around the area.
Side-note: For the east-coasters out there: This was in the San Jose-Milpitas area aka Silicon Valley… which is generally a lot of office buildings, and no greenery in sight.
I found an office building with some cool architecture and a few shrubs and gave them the address to meet me at. When we got back at Dhiyvas parents house for the reception I proudly told her mother “we shot your daughters wedding photos in a parking lot” She look terrified! In the end she loved the photos! (The photos arent loading for Dhivya and Jays wedding right now but Ill post asap)
Moral of the blog post? You never know where the perfect location might come from. Just go with the flow and see what we come up with. And if it doesnt come out perfect… well at least you had fun doing it right? ; )
Check back in a few days for more of Jen and Adam. They are so cute together its unreal!
