Mika and Brendan, Part Duex!  We’ve been planning to get studio space for shooting portraits…so we were psyched yesterday to have our first shoot with Mika and Brendan, the really nice couple who were married two weeks ago at Eolia Mansion (see their pics below).

Mika and Brendan came down to Hartford for a kimono photo shoot in-studio and outside at Elizabeth Park in West Hartford.  For the studio shoot, we chose two looks:  one fresh, contemporary and fun (the pink background) and one more classic and intimate (black background).

It was great working with Yuki, the kimono dresser who also helped with styling throughout the shoot.

This was our first shoot in this studio in the Parkville section of Hartford…a great neighborhood of Portuguese, Brazilian and Vietnamese…where we plan to shoot engagement shoots and portraits monthly.

Then we drove down the road to Elizabeth Park in West Hartford where Mika and Brendan looked amazing amidst the rose garden in bloom.

Mika and Brendan, great shoot…thanks!!  Have a wonderful summer in your new home in the Bay area!
