Good afternoon from Orange County everyone! I’m one Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who has a VERY SPECIAL TREAT for you. What I’m referring to is Christin & Christoph’s Portrait Photo Shoot I photographed of them in Berlin, Germany. YES! You read that right – Berlin, Germany. WHEW HEW!!
I’m sure you had seen from me on Twitter & Facebook I was wrapping up 2011 with my Workshop I taught with my good friend & fellow photographer Danny in Paris France and then hopped a plane with my BFF & MEGA East Coast Photographer; Valerie to Berlin, Germany. Where I received the royal treatment of hospitality from my new friends, the cooks tour of Berlin from Valerie and a Portrait Photo Shoot of Christin & Christoph.
Valerie & I arrived at Graffiti Heaven U-Bahn station after an amazing boat ride on the Spree River through Berlin earlier that afternoon with friends. Since we were a little early, Valerie introduced me to Curry Wurst, which is ahhhhhfreakin’mayyyyzeeeeng! Once we enjoyed our Curry Wurst, we met up with Christin & Christoph for their Portrait Photo Shoot and that’s when the fun began.
Graffiti Heaven in Berlin, Germany is a photographer’s dream come true for photo shoots! Everywhere we turned there was an exquisitely painted wall, building, debris, misc and random items that would be out of place anywhere else – was perfectly in symbiotic harmony at Graffiti Heaven.
The weather was perfect for Christin & Christoph’s Portrait Photo Shoot as it drizzled from time-to-time, but yet gave me the best light to have fun with them & capture their portraits.
What also made their portrait photo shoot special for me was I shot all their portraits with my totally manual operation Leica M8 and a vintage 35mm lens from 1958. Having to slow down a bit gives me the opportunity to capture few photographs that are much more accurate along with having the ability to utilize a lens that’s far more superiour to anything from Canon & Nikon. Basically I was using the best of German engineering for camera equipment in Berlin, Germany. How cool is that!?!
