We had quite a little adventure in downtown San Jose with Katie and Matt’s photography session. As I talked with Katie about their session and what would make it unique to them I found out they are both professional musicians. In fact, at the time of the shoot, both were performing for San Francisco’s run of “Wicked” and it was in it’s final days. As we chatted I found out that between the two of them they played like 20 different insturments and they wanted to incorporate them in to their shoot. I had been brewing with an idea about a piano and to was so pleased when I found out that they both played. So the wheels started turning and this is what we created. I love how we incorporated their love for each with their passion for music. This couple is easy going, fun-loving, and a little quirky giving their photos a magical and fun twist.
When we did the sequence shots we had so much fun. The best part was how many people would just walk through the set while were shooting instead of walking around us. Others would stop and ask if they were a band, or were we having a garage sale, or just wanted to know if they were jamming and could they join in. My favorite was this guy showed up on his bicycle with a a big conga drum attached to his handle bars already to play. In the shots below was a guys dog just walking by. We laughed so hard because we were putting this ensemble together and said “Wouldn’t it be great if we had a dog in it?” Seconds later around the corner came “bear” the doggie pictured below. It was perfect. To see more from their session click here and please leave them some love below so they know you were here.
