It was another wonderful day in Los Angeles where the skies were blue and no smog in sight! Luckily, the rain just stopped right before we started to take pictures.  Tracy and Danny wanted a more urban theme for their engagement photo shoot, so we mosied on by to the local train tracks and started our session.  I thought Tracy’s red outfit was a nice touch to their engagement photos!

Sorry, no kissing right now, love birds. Tracy was sick, but was a real trooper to still come out to play throughout the engagement session.

We swung on by the LA Wash…or our make-shift river for some cool photos! I believe this was where Italian Job and Transformers were filmed. =)

Thanks again for the fun engagement session! I will be posting Tracy and Danny’s wedding in Pasadena shortly.

Adios,

It was a wonderful day in Sunny Los Angeles where Patricia and Christian had their engagement session done. This spunky couple wanted not only timeless photos, but some edgy photos to the point where we can get kicked out, which we did at one point! Couples who love to get into a bit of trouble fits my profile perfectly. We started our engagement session in the old parts of Los Angeles near Art District where everything is a work of art, even every inch of the walls were paved with amazing arban paint. Afterward, we roamed all over Los Angeles Union Station, Hotel Figueroa, and concluded at Disney Concert Hall. Check it out!

Art District
Los Angeles, CA

After we had our fun at LA Art District, we went through a few hidden alleys and onto live train tracks! Fortunately, Patricia was very agile with her heels and was not phased by the uneven ground and tracks throughout our photo shoot.

De Amore~! What a coincidence that we found something like this on the ground. =P

Hotel Figueroa
939 S. Figueroa Street
Los Angeles, CA 90015

I must say, the bar tenders at Hotel Figueroa made the absolutely BEST mojitos in town. We each splurged a bit on a drink during our break before we continued with our photo shoot inside.

Disney Concert Hall
Los Angeles, CA

Instead of shooting at the concert hall, why not take the photos to the street?!

Stay tuned and there will be more to come from Patricia and Christian. They plan to host a destination wedding at Cabo San Lucas once the details are set in stone. I cannot wait!!!

Over and out,

Hollywood has so much history in terms of the City of Stars, along with all the movie sets and tourist attractions. Tom actually works in the movie industry, so Hollywood was an ideal place for these two love birds to have their engagment pictures taken. We started out at the Kodak Theater and moved along Hollywood strip. It was fortunate that Tom knew his way around secluded areas in Hollywood to avoid the hustle and bustle of the traffic generated from the cars and tourists that populated the streets.

Kodak Theater

Los Angeles, CA 90028-6139

It took a few rounds for this photo. There were too many kids playing in the fountain at the time and stood in front of my camera. I should have taken a few photographs of those kids that danced in front of me. =)

Roosevelt Hotel
7000 Hollywood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90028

There were many beautiful murals such like this following engagement photo all over the walls of Hollywood. Nina and Tom somehow always took interest in this specific one.

We later drove down a few miles on the outskirts of Hollywood for some peace and quiet in a local park to conclude our engagement photo session.

Nina and Tom hosted their wedding at Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica early this Summer.

Peace,

It was another rainy day in San Francisco where Danny and I got picked up by Nina and Ren at the San Francisco Airport to start their engagement photo session. Nina and Ren were initially worried if the rain would ruin their engagement session, but we assured them that was when the photos get artistic! Our first destination for the engagement shoot was at San Francisco State Park where it offered plenty of beautiful trees and flowers for us to explore in. San Francisco State Park also offered a wonderful Japanese Garden with pink cherry blossoms that were in bloom. Check it out!

When we entered to the main courtyard at the Japanese Gardens, there was a amazingly crafted Japanese bridge. We just had to snap a few photos here!

After the Japenese Gardens, we took refuge under the open amphitheater when the rain got worse.

Windmill!!!

Nina and Ren hosted their wedding at Surf and Sand in Laguna Beach shortly after their engagement photo shoot. I will post their wedding up ASAP!

Cheers,

Oh, how I love New York City! Although Linda and Nelson’s wedding will be hosted in sunny California, they currently reside in Manhattan, NY and would rather have their engagement photo session taken there. I have no objections to that decision! There is definitely a different ambience in New York compared to California, but both are just as beautiful in their own way. This spunky couple and I ran all over the city for the day from SOHO all the way up to Time Square, along with everything else in between!

SOHO – Manhattan, New York

SOHO offered so many beautiful photo opportunities. The colorful walls, columns, and the cobblestones were all there for us to use!

Central Park – Manhattan, New York

After we roamed around SOHO, we decided to find some greenery at Central Park. Luckily, there were not too many people at the park during our photo shoot.

Time Square – Manhattan, New York

Of course, in every shoot in New York, we had to take a few photos at Time Square!

I will be making another trip back to New York for two more engagement sessions towards the end of this month. Let me know if anyone wants to grab a cup of coffee and hang out!

Best,
