when Ab and Sima asked if i would mind if we shot their connection in Los Angeles, i of course said “not at all”. an abundance of new locations, warmth not felt here locally in February and soft California light. all this plus a wonderful couple, i knew it was going to be amazing. so the days leading up to my flight, i had been watching the weather and all forecasts were calling for rain, rain and more rain. oh well, what can you do? the couple and their connection will still be same, locations will be new and rain in L.A. will still be warmer then sun back home. so you go with the flow. i landed and it was raining. we went out for dinner. still raining. go to bed. still raining. wake up. still raining. i watch a few satellite radar forecasts online and it seems that it’ll clear up. we were on the edge of the cloud. fingers crossed we headed out with hopes of clearing. and it did. the day was perfect. soft light, moody clouds and warm California sun. Ab and Sima you two were incredible and i thank you for going with the flow. for putting your trust in me. for driving around without question when i asked to go to O.C. then downtown, then Long Beach then to catch the sunset in Hollywood. it was a wonderful day and you two created some incredible images.

























Sarah: How you come up with these ideas and "poses" I know not. They look so carefree, yet sweet. Romantic, yet serious. Stunning! 02.09.2010
Andrea Wiseman: You are an artist & a master at what you do. I am moved by every single image you take... None of your work is ever a repeat of a past session or another photographer, and to me...that says a lot about what kind of photographer you are. Just pure amazing. 02.09.2010

Robert: Are. You. Kidding. Me? Wow! 02.10.2010
Ab Uppal: To be very honest – it’s hard to use words to describe the feeling Sima and I had after viewing the final images. Even when faced with adverse weather conditions and the 676 miles traveled you found a way to capture the “Moment.” No question – your drive and passion for the next shot is what makes you so successful. Thanks for the laughs Gabe – see you at the wedding!! 02.10.2010
Sima Modi: GABE. I can't wait to see the rest! We're so happy to know you're the one that is capturing our session and our special day! Thanks for coming out to Cali, not only did we have fun but the pictures are amazing:) 02.10.2010
