Laura and Daniel wanted a diverse collection of engagement photos—something that would capture both their love for stunning architecture and the beauty of the ocean. To bring their vision to life, we decided to split their session into two distinct experiences, each telling a different part of their love story.
Pasadena City Hall – Timeless Elegance
The first session took place at Pasadena City Hall, a location known for its grand archways, intricate details, and romantic atmosphere. The golden light filtering through the courtyard gave their photos a soft, timeless feel, perfectly complementing their effortless chemistry. As they strolled hand in hand under the elegant domes, we captured moments that felt cinematic—like scenes from a classic romance. The historic charm of the venue added a sophisticated touch to their engagement photos, making each frame feel like a page from their own love story.
Dockweiler State Beach – Nostalgia on Wheels
For the second session, we headed to Dockweiler State Beach, a stunning coastal stretch near Marina del Rey. This wasn’t just about golden sands and ocean waves—it was about preserving something deeply personal. Laura and Daniel had arranged to use a car that once belonged to Laura’s grandfather, a cherished piece of her childhood memories. With the sun setting over the Pacific, they sat together in the front seat, sharing quiet moments filled with nostalgia and love.
The combination of the soft, pastel skies, the rhythmic waves, and the vintage car bathed in golden light made for an incredibly romantic setting. It was more than just an engagement session; it was a celebration of their past, their present, and the journey ahead. Every frame carried the warmth of the sunset and the emotions of a couple deeply in love.
