Agnes + Simon |Engaged| Union Station

When I first met Agnes, we dove right into where we would take their engagement (or should I say post marriagement???) photos. Agnes & Simon are actually married but will be having their ceremony this November. And for their session, they chose Union Station and The Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Agnes & Simon! Can't wait for your wedding! It's going to be so much fun! ;)

And thanks to the lovely Clara of Clara Kim Beauty for doing Agnes' hair & makeup! You rock!

Aren't these two adorable? While I was getting this shot, some crazy lady started yelling at me... telling me I was all up in her personal space. Normally, I would have given her my stink eye but I was a little scared. LOL! That's LA for ya.

After a quick outfit change, we headed to the concert hall to finish up the session.

We shot the session on July 5 so the concert hall was closed and the streets were empty. We were seriously the only ones there. We only had the outside of the building to work with but we totally didn't mind. Cuz getting this shot with NO cars or people around was worth it.

Sneak Peak Engagement!

Rarely do I shoot dark moody images or silhouettes, but I just had to when I saw this ramp. Just makes me happy. I love the body language, the holding of hands and the outline of her dress.

All righty. I'm gonna go jump into the pool now.

Happy Thursday!

Katie of Ever After Honeymoons

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting Katie of Ever After Honeymoons. She had inquired about having her headshots taken and ofcourse I was so honored! Katie is actually a honeymoon planner! So if any of you lovely brides out there need help with planning your honeymoon, head on over to Katie's site and take advantage of her complimentary service! That's right! I said complimentary. :)

And ofcourse, the lovely shots of Katie. This was Katie's first time in front of a camera. Ever. But I don't believe her. ;)

Have a lovely day!



The light was just gorgeous. Loved it!

The Pa(r)k Family |60th Birthday|

Remember Christine & Gerry? A few weeks ago, it was Christine's dad's 60th birthday! We started the evening with a quick family session and went on to celebrate Mr. Park turning 60! :)

Christine did such an excellent job planning her dad's birthday party. She practically DIY'ed everything and it all came out so cute! Christine is actually a wedding coordinator and just launched her site so make sure to stop by her blog if you're looking for a coordinator!

Enjoy the pics and Happy Hump Day!




I love this pic! The star of the night! Mr. Park! :)

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this 'family tree'. Love all the old photos of Mr. & Mrs. Park. At first, I thought they were pictures of Christine... and I was thinking to myself how in the world did she get the pictures to be so antique looking?!?! LOL! Christine looks EXACTLY like her mom when her mom was younger! I was seriously tripping out.

All the lovely details.
