Jonathan and I were commissioned to shoot for a few hours the morning of October 28th, 2006. The day before, we meet with Darrell at the residence. It was an opportunity for us not only to drop off gear but to scout out the location and understand the potential we had available for making some of the first photos shot for the magazine. Throughout the tour we saw that the home had enormous potential for photography. Crosshatch-painted walls, exquisite decor and art work, and characteristic natural light bathed the entire building which was once used as a studio.
The morning of the 28th may have been the only shoot time that went according to schedule throughout the entire series of Bridal Fantasy shoots. We arrived and set up lights. Jonathan had his own setup a few meters away from mine. Yura and Leanna assisted on the shoot. All of my shots were lit with a Lightrein 600W/s digital monolight and a 60" Lightrein octagon controlled by a Lighttools 50degree Soft Egg Crate.
