I had the pleasure of second shooting with Sachiko Studios at this engagement shoot for May and Alex at the San Gabriel Mission. I learned a lot about how Nadine works with her clients to capture natural smiles. At this shoot, I also worked with her husband Benson and was taught to focus on little details otherwise unnoticed. The San Gabriel Mission was a great spot to capture many elegant pictures of the couple. They came with not just one-- but two outfits that transformed brought a feeling of elegance and sophistication.
While they were posing for Nadine, I captured this sweet photo on the side.
Benson taught me that being a second shooter gives you the liberty to capture more abstract shots, so don't be afraid to cut off some heads to get some interesting photos!
While Benson was zooming in on the ring, I got this wider shot.
I'll end with these super cute props that they brought!
