Gabrielle Fox Photography blog

This week I got to take some headshots for my friend Claire. She is a hair and makeup artist here in San Diego and she does great work! She does a lot of bridals- so if you are looking for a Pro to do the makeup and hair on your Big Day be sure to check her out!

She is also a yoga instructor so we took some pictures of her in a few different poses. Visit her website Clairestyle

Recently I had the pleasure of working with a fellow photographer at The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. It is so amazingly beautiful there, very peaceful and serene. It was one of those blustery days, which gave life to Melinda’s veil. The pelicans flew overhead and it was all very ethereal.

First, a detail shot of the rings with a modern art style

I got to hang with the guys for once! I found them kicking back and playing cards.

Sometimes these sessions are called “Day After” sessions… well this was a 2 Year After session! Kristine and G decided to trash the dress for their 2 year anniversary, for themselves and as a present to their families. The are planning on decorating their home with fabulous pics of them all decked out in their formal attire. Awesome!

I love this set of images. they are just so dreamy

So we set out to Little Italy in search of my good friend, COLOR! And boy did we find it, I’m a big fan of bright color and contrast. I also played a bit with textures on these ones. What do you guys think??? Stay tuned this week for part 3… a set from the second location, fields of wildflowers!

Okay wait, how cute is Kristine?!!

Let me just say first off that these have got to be my FAVORITE sessions to do. Being an artist, it is so freeing to be able to photograph a beautiful bride and have nothing that is holding us back. That’s what Trash the Dress is all about. As it says on the Trash the Dress website “It is about creation not destruction”. You are able to create images that would not be possible on the wedding day.

I have so many favorite images from this session I am going to blog in installments! In the next few days I will be posting more images. Kristine and G were heaven to photograph. They have got all the moves! It helps that they are both fellow photographers They were definitely in touch with my vision for the shoot…

This week I was hired to do some fabulous headshots of Dr. Thy, who is a chiropractor here in San Diego. She also has experience in nutrition and holistic medicine. Her practice is located in a very cute wellness center close to Balboa Park.

I recommend you check her out… and she offers free consultations! Go here for her contact information.

I met up with Jen and Todd in Balboa Park for their engagement session. Since they are getting married at the beach later this year they wanted to do something different… It was a great day and it was great getting to know them better. I just love the way they look at one another! Too cute.

Here’s an image from a recent wedding where all the groomsmen wore overalls! I LOVE IT!
