Downtown Los Angeles Night Engagement Photos: Julie + Jon (Part II)

Here is the second part of Julie and Jon's engagement session. The sun and light had mostly receded behind the mountain thus leaving lots of shadows but an epic sunset. To fit the dramatic sunset and elegance of the couple we changed the style and added flash to get a different feel to their photos that would enhance to their Los Angeles engagement session.

After an hour of traffic we arrived in Downtown Los Angeles. Downtown LA was the perfect setting for Julie and Jon to shoot their engagement session since they will be married at the Cicada Club just a few blocks over. Julie is also getting ready at the Biltmore Millennium!

We started at the John Ferraro Building that offers sweeping views of the downtown skyline. Despite being a Saturday during peak holiday season, everything was relatively quiet and all the more romantic! We also hit up Walt Disney Concert Hall and The Broad. Once again this fearless couple did anything to get the shot and it was because of them that we got some of these images (Like the one of them in the middle of the street for one)! I do love them so...

This couple is entirely too adorable. They've been together for 9 years and will be getting married September 2018 at The Cicada Club. Elegant, glamorous, daring and beautiful are all words that come to mind for these two. Julie and Jon are incredible people inside and out. I love the way he looks at her with the upmost adoration! It is so sweet... 

Rancho Palos Verdes has some of the best beaches in Los Angeles making the perfect location for an engagement session. The light was perfect and the sunset was beautiful... The winter truly has the BEST sunsets! 

At dusk we wrapped up part one of their engagement session to make our way to Downtown Los Angeles for a nighttime shoot. 

Rancho Palos Verdes Engagement - Erica + Brad

They noticed each other from across the room while at a party where a mutual friend had invited them. They made introductions and chatted a little. The night ended and they both went on their way. But she couldn't stop thinking about him. Only one thing, she didn't have his number. For weeks, she would call their mutual friend to arrange a hangout so that she would get a chance to talk to him again. It began with a casual conversation at a party but they soon began to fall in love with each other.

Brad and Erica are now engaged after years of dating. They will be having their wedding at The Hacienda in June.  They are both in the medical fields which means they are incredibly busy with work. The couple carved out sometime in their hectic schedule to do an engagement shoot at  Malaga Cove, Rancho Palos Verdes. 

The best time to have an engagement shoot is just before the sunset. And on this night, the lighting was perfect. There was a subtle mist floating around that allowed for the golden light to wrap around them. It certainly made for some gorgeous sunset photography. 

Their engagement outfits during the beach session were perfectly coordinated. I loved the juxtaposition of their elegant looks on the beach.
