Lourd and Athena have been my muse couple for the past few years now and have consistently contacted me every year to shoot their anniversary photos. And just for the record, they’re not married or engaged…yet! ;) Being really good friends of mine, they’re always down for any new concepts I wanna try out. We hit up multiple spots in the LA area I pre-scouted prior to this shoot. The beauty about LA is the rich, ever-changing street art culture present in the city. Some of these pieces get buffed out, taken down, or blocked off as quickly as they’re put up. You gotta be fast with some of these locations! For this shoot, aesthetically we wanted to focus on textures, minimalism, and a bit of a monochrome feel with their outfits. The awesome thing about these two is that whenever I need them to ham it up for the camera, they totally will without hesitation. They’re the living example of what it means to love someone with everything you have. Happy 7 years you two! Cue the sappy love song now…
