This session has seriously stolen my heart. Jess & Raj wanted a look for their engagement photos that was dramatic & editorial, but still soft and romantic, and collaborating with them on this shoot was so much fun! We began at the Pasadena City Hall with it’s stunning architecture and perfect light, and finished up at the historical Langham. I often find I prefer shooting outdoors, but the photos inside the regal Langham hotel room are some of my favorites!

Hope you enjoy this romantic little session…

I had so much fun with Van and Chris for their session, it seriously felt like hanging out with old friends! As ridiculously good looking these two are on the outside, let me just tell you that they have the hearts to match – they’re some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and are just as fun as these photos suggest! We started off at the LA Arboretum and finished up at the historic Colorado Bridge. I love how we were able to combine the whimsy of the garden with the more dramatic look of the bridge, while keeping it all tied together with that light-filled, romantic feel that I adore :)

Can’t wait for their pretty summer wedding next month!

Is this session the perfect little picture of summer or what? We photographed it at Molly’s pool and I love all the bright poppy colors, the fresh fruit & pretty margaritas, the sparkling water, and the whole loungy feel of it all! After working up an appetite, we headed to their favorite little pizza place, which they frequent at least once a month. I must say, clients who feed me pizza at the end of the session? A-okay in my book :)

Hope you enjoyed this session as we savor the last bit of summer! :)
