Janice + Almon = Engaged!

Janice and Almon are just the cutest. They’re super sweet and cool and I had so much fun hanging out with them in Silverlake and Griffith Park for their engagement session. When we were planning their session, Almon wanted something colorful and a little urban, while Janice envisioned awesome textures and a classic Los Angeles setting like the Griffith Observatory. One of the things I love about shooting in Los Angeles is you can get all of that, and more, very easily! I don’t appreciate it often, but sometimes I realize that LA is pretty rad.

This session was super fun to shoot and I have to commend Janice and Almon on styling themselves so well! Their outfits were perfectly coordinated without being matchy-matchy at all and each outfit was appropriate for the location. Perfect! Janice and Almon, thanks for being so fun to photograph – I can’t wait for your wedding day!

One of the biggest perks of my job is I get to hear real life love stories all the time. Not only that, but often I get to re-imagine things like a couple’s first date or marriage proposal, simply by photographing them at the location where it all happened. Jackqueline and Jeremy’s first date happened at the Griffith Observatory, so it was a natural choice for their engagement session. When Jackie and I were brainstorming ideas for their shoot, one things she was very clear about was she wanted to incorporate childhood elements. We debated using balloons, and even tried to think of a park with a great swing set, but it wasn’t until she brought up pinwheels that a light bulb went off and we both knew we had a winner!

The day before the shoot Jackqueline handmade adorable pinwheels and Jeremy constructed a matching kite. I just love when couples take the time to think about props to incorporate into their engagement sessions – it makes the entire shoot unique and personal! We rocked it out pinwheel-style and I am so in love with these photos!

Jackqueline and Jeremy, thanks so much for choosing me as your photographer – I am so excited for your wedding on a boat in May!
