Pasadena City Hall Wedding & Engagement Photography, Los Angeles, California

Pasadena City Hall is one of LA’s gems for photography.  Caroline and Will traveled all the way out from Louisiana for an engagement session and they certainly made the most out of their trip to Los Angeles!  Pasadena City Hall is filled with sweeping arches and rose-filled gardens.  They couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful place to take photographs!

When I first met Caroline and Will I was greeted with a huge hug, an oversized Mardi Gras beaded necklace and some immediate laughter.  Haha, these beads are huge.  Thank you Caroline!  They now have a permanent home in my car (in the backseat, much too large to hang on the rear-view mirror) and everyone gives me a raised eyebrow look when they get in and see it.  That’s the type of personalities, these two are.  Vivacious, creative and jovial…big enough to fill City Hall with.

The photographs turned out amazing, but more importantly, I had a blast spending the afternoon with the two of you.  Here are a few photos from the day.

It was such a lovely day, the sun was peeking out everywhere!  It had just rained the day before, how lucky  were we!  We ran around city hall trying to take advantage of the great weather and the inspiring location.

One more reason to fall in love with Pasadena’s City Hall…the gorgeous Parisian stairways!  This is still an active building, can you imagine going to work here everyday.  Lovely!

Having some last bit of photo fun with the remaining bits of sunlight of the afternoon  It was a great shoot and a fabulous time.  Congratulations Caroline and Will.  Thanks for teaching me about blackened alligator and Mardi Gras celebrations.  Pasadena City Hall came alive with your fun personalities!

Walt Disney Concert Hall, Downtown Los Angeles, CA

This past weekend it was back again to the Walt Disney Concert Hall and Downtown LA’s Arts District for a rocking good engagement photography session.  It was a lot of fun hanging out with Evelyn and Barney – these two are really cool.  They used to live in a loft in the Arts District and they regaled me the entire time with awesome stories of Downtown LA living.  Hah, I was well entertained and fascinated – what could be better than stories about industrial living, local bars and neighborhood bums.

We started off with some classic shots at the Walt Disney Concert Hall before heading down to the Arts District.  The Arts District is a refreshing place to shoot engagement photos!  It was a lot of fun walking around with Evelyn & Barney, checking out the urban landscape and seeing who was putting in work on the walls.  We got to talking about the local artists and even shared some opinions on the neighborhood restaurants like Wurstkuche and Blue Dahlia.  It was an all-around good time.

Nothing cooler than some urban landscape engagement photos. The graffiti and street art make this place alive with energy.

Here’s the fun couple in front of some street art.  I spot some JR (one of my favorite urban street photographers) wheatpasting up in that collage!  His work is awesome, check it out if you have not seen it before!

The Arts District was a lot of fun but the night came too quickly.  Before we knew it, it was time to pack up and call it a day.  I had a lot of fun and I can’t wait for the wedding!
