Gina + Haw | San Jose Engagement

Tuesday, July 10, 2012

Pin It


I knew Gina & Haw were going to be cool when I showed up to the sessions sans battery. *cue nervous laughter*   They made me feel like I wasn't the biggest jerk on the face of the planet and grabbed a quick drink while I drove like a mad woman ran back home to pick up the battery.  When I got back, I was feeling flustered making such a rookie mistake but once we started shooting that panicked feeling went away immediately.  Basically, I loved working with these two.

Gina is flawless, I mean...just look at her skin.  I barely touched it. And Haw? He is just cool, I called him Mr. GQ a few times...maybe it is the photographer in him, but he knew when and how to pose and made my job that much easier.  Add to that their playful adoration for each other?  Perfection. We couldn't have asked for a dreamier location, in a local rose  garden. I loved how Gina's dress caught the light and the roses seemed to glow around us.   This session is going down as one of my all-time favorites, despite my battery flub. Congratulations to Gina & Haw, I know you two are going to have a beautiful life together!
