This engagement session with Sarah + Gabe at the Union Station in Downtown LA renewed my love for photographing engagement sessions...not that I had fallen out of love with shooting engagement sessions, but when a fun couple comes along with a rad location, it gives me a good reminder of why I love being a "photographer of love". Cheesy as it may sound, it's true!:) Wow, just realized how many times I said the word "love" in that paragraph, lol!
Wedding to come in early 2011!

As a photographer it's really awesome when a couple shows up for a shoot and then everything just flows seamlessly. This is how the engagement session with Connie + Stefan went, I didn't even take a crazy amount of images because I didn't need to. There was a rad chemistry between them and my camera! Loved every minute of this session!
My favorite shot of the day....chemistry!

Second favorite shot of the day!
Looking forward to the wedding in 2011!

I shot Judy + Anthony's engagement session locally. I thought it was sweet how they wanted to have their little dog included in some shots, and what a ham their little dog was!:) Congrats on the upcoming wedding Judy + Anthony!

How do you go about shooting in the Bradbury building? Is a permit required, do you call ahead, or do you just show up and tread lightly?
Thanks. Love this shoot!

Lovely shoot! I've never got past the first flight of stairs at the Bradbury. The hand holding shot is super sweet.

Dina Dalziel said:
Ah! I love the pictures!! Thanks Amelia for the fun fun day. :)
The bradbury building isn't the easiest to get into. It's occupied by LAPD internal investigations, and unless you have a connection you can't get past the first floor. The only other option is applying for a photo permit which can be a couple hundred dollars. Good luck!

Wow, this is a first, I'm blogging an engagement session of a couple on the same day that they are going to get married! Yes indeed, Justin and I are off to shoot Lindsey + Chris's big day as soon as I'm done with this blog post!
Lindsey + Chris....such fun characters!:)
Since Lindsey + Chris both have a love and passion for the performing arts, we thought it would be fun to shoot in front of this "stage door" sign.
*Before I go on, I just have to give you all a fun little background about Lindsey + Chris. Chris was the first person to be inside the Muno character costume on Yo Gabba Gabba! & Lindsey was the person inside of Plex for seasons 1 & 2 of Yo Gabba Gabba!! So there, how fun is that?!
Lindsey + Chris....such fun characters!:)

Have a fantastic weekend everyone! So excited to see Lindsey + Chris all decked out in their wedding gear today!
