LACMA Lamp Post Engagement Session: Kelly + Cara!!

I had so much fun shooting with Kelly and Cara a few weeks ago! We had an action packed day shooting in all of the nooks and crannies around LACMA. The strange and mesmerizing LACMA lamp post installation made for some dramatic twilight images that I really love...

The second half of the post, the green picnic images, were also shot around LACMA... You'd never guess that they were taken right in the heart of LA on a crowded Sunday in early summer!?

I'm totally looking forward to documenting their big day coming up soon at the swanky Chateau Marmont, old-Hollywood style!

Engaged! Indrani + Mike (Devani too!): Pasadena City Hall, San Pedro

Indrani and Mike's are engaged- It's true! Not only are they engaged, but their wedding is right around the corner (one week!). We had a great afternoon of shooting- first at their amazing house in San Pedro and later in Pasadena.

The shots below were taken at the ah-inspiring Pasadena City Hall: Beautiful couple, beautiful architecture.














As were driving from one location to another, Indrani reminds Mike that there's only 2 weeks until the wedding and this is the look in the rearview mirror.



The shots below were taken at Indrani and Mike's house in San Pedro- truly incredible. From the front, it's
cute and quaint, but once you step inside, it's *huge* with an amazing deck in the back.
Also, important to note- 5 year old Devani, when not caught posing hamming it up in the photos below, acted as both Stylist and Art Director for this shoot. I'm not kidding- we may have already found her calling.

Alicia + Darren are Engaged! The Getty, Santa Monica Beach

On a very lovely day in late May, I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon with the photogenic Alicia and Darren. One second we were skirting the security guards and playing in the beauteous gardens at The Getty in LA and the next we were chasing the last 30 minutes of golden light at the ever-awesome Santa Monica Beach. If they weren't staring deep into each others eyes, they were tossing sandy clumps of seaweed at each other... Ah, love!

In the fall, the love becomes totally, 100% official... Congrats again to Alicia and Darren! I'll see you in November!
