Darren vs Ramen Kodaiko Sacramento

Kodaiko's ramen eating contest ends this week, so here is the series finale! 😂
This was a very fun project to work on. Huge shout out to Darren and Monica for letting me leverage our footage from their actual engagement session that we shot a week before this project. I talked about the video idea with them as we were driving to the engagement session together, which is how I was able to plan/capture the quick scene of the empty boardwalk and Monica by herself without smiling. The flashback sequence were real clips that I had captured during their real portrait session.
Billy and Kodaiko were extremely easy too and I had a lot of fun working with them on this. And also big shout out to Mandy for helping me with coordinating the logistics and communication behind the scenes!
