We here at Staja Studios had so much fun pulling this project together for Casey and Dann. They called a few months back and wanted us to photograph their wedding at the La Valencia in La Jolla, CA next spring. In addition, they wanted something unique to show at their engagement party this past weekend. We proposed the idea of doing a "fusion style" engagement session that would incorporate video along with our still photography, and they loved it. During their session, we learned that Dann had studied French for many years. We already had a mood in mind for the music and while editing with Ryan, our awesome associate/intern/video help, we came up with the idea of using some classic French cinema influences. The end result is below. Please let us know what you think!
Don't even recall how I ended up on your blog, but had to watch the whole video. REally classically chic, fun & technically tight engagement session. The fusion makes their whole story come to life. Canon 5d mark2 or Nikon d3s? I'm upgrading to include video soon.
PJ, thanks for the comment! We used the 5D Mark II for the video portion of this video. If you are looking at Canon you should also consider the 7D and 1D Mark IV. I hope that helps.
So cool to see your "fusion" blend now. Really capturing their personality.
