\nToday Michael and I went to the Japanese Garden in downtown to have a photoshoot of our AX cosplays. ^^ We didn’t know that there was a Sounders game that day, so we ran into quite a bit of traffic commuting hahaha. The bus was completely packed with Sounders fans!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWe took an uber to the garden and had a nice chat with our driver, who asked us if we were both Japanese….. LOL since we were going to the Japenese arboretum….. anyways….. To our surprise, professional camera equipment + photography wasn’t allowed inside the actual arboretum, so we walked over to a nearby entrance and began looking for spots to take photos LOL! The gentleman at the kiosk was very nice, and let us know you had to pay a membership fee in order to be able to enter the garden itself… Next time I’ll research our location a bit more ;w;.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nIt was a really hot and sunny day, which can be good or bad for a photoshoot because direct sunlight creates a lot of harsh shadows. Not only that, we ran into another problem…. there were no public restrooms where we were LOL but we managed to find a very large Honey Bucket which was…… better than nothing HAHAHAHA. I got changed into my costume first, and got to give Michael tips on how and where to shoot ^^ It was really fun, and I think he has a knack for photography.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\nI brought my Kotori Minami cosplay in her idolized Cheongsam outfit ^^ it makes me a bit self-conscious because there are a lot of pieces to the costume, and it’s very short… but I feel really pretty in it at the same time. And the photos Michael took of me in the costume make me really happy ;o;. Thank you again!!<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWe lugged around a lot of stuff…. not knowing we had to walk along trails, up and downhill LOL….<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nNext we wandered around trying to find the hydrangeas, which ended up being along a popular path… so we had to keep shooting even with people stopping to stare ^^;<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nthey were so lovely though! Definitely a pretty area to shoot, even though we were standing inside the bushes HAHAHA.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nMy rose pin was a bit too loose haha ><<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThe lighting here was my absolute fave ;^; it created a lot of gentle colors.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nBy this time my legs were hurting a bit from crouching for so long, but it was so worth it!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nNext we took a small snack break while Michael got into his Slaine cosplay ^^!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nvery prince-like~<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThere are some other shots I want to add here later, but I have to fiddle around with the lighting some more ^^;<\/div>\n
\nWe decided to move back to the gazebo for more shots.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nkya!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThere were a lot of people around, also sitting in the gazebo from time to time, so it was awkward… but we did our best to not feel too self-conscious haha!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAs the sun was getting higher and higher, it was a little harder to shoot Michael’s Shirou cosplay in this area >< but we did our best!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nHis weapons are soooo cool ahhh!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWe ran up and down hills trying to get scenic shots, but our creativity and energy died down at this point… hopefully we can do more photoshoots in the future — this time with my Saber cosplay too *^*!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n !<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n?!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n?!?!?!<\/div>\n
\nAfter tiredly walking downhill back to the main road, we took another uber back downtown and headed home!<\/div>\n
