Downtown Los Angeles Engagement Session: Roxanne + Farbod

An absolute stunning couple at some of the most epic Downtown Los Angeles photo spots. Engagement Locations: The Mayan Theatre, Pershing Square, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Photography: Aaron Monroe

Los Angeles Engagement Session Locations:

The Mayan Theatre

This beautiful couple is getting married at Rolling Hills Country Club this summer. I met them through a previous bride and we immediately hit it off. Downtown Los Angeles was the perfect locations for their engagement shoot with so many great spots near one another. Roxanne loved the architecture outside The Mayan Theatre in LA so that is where we began our shoot! Right off the bat I knew this session was going to be epic. They are clearly so in love. It is so cute how he sweeps her hair back while kissing her forehead. And the way she looks up at him before resting her head on his chest. The sweetest!

The Mayan Theatre was closed that afternoon which made for the perfect engagement photos with hardly anyone about. After a couple moments taking in this old Los Angeles theatre we made our way to our second location for the afternoon

Pershing Square

Just down the street from The Mayan is Pershing Square. This park takes up an entire city block and is completely dwarfed by the surrounding skyscrapers. I loved shooting against the colorful walls at Pershing Square. One of my favorite images is Roxi and Farbod against the yellow wall. Their love really shines! Pro Tip for photographers and couples alike looking to do a shoot here: You most definitely need a photo permit to shoot at Pershing Square. So prepare in advance!

Walt Disney Concert Hall

Couples ask all the time: what should I wear for engagement photos? My answer is always the same: use it as an excuse to get dressed up a little fancier then normal. Think of it like an elegant date-night out on the town with your fiancee… only with a photographer present! Needless to say Roxi and Farbod absolutely y blew me away with their wardrobe choices for the final location. We completed the engagement session at The Walt Disney Concert Hall. I just love the mirrored walls with its cartoonish facade. Not to mention the views of the Los Angeles streets are just fantastic!

Such a beautiful evening with another amazing couple!

Walt Disney Concert Hall Engagement Session: Brenda + Carlos

A romantic nighttime engagement shoot in Downtown Los Angeles with Brenda + Carlos. The engagement locations included Walt Disney Concert Hall off Grand, The Broad & sweeping views of the Los Angeles Skyline at night. See more of their epic engagement session!

On a gorgeous evening in Downtown Los Angeles, I had the privilege of shooting Brenda + Carlos' engagement shoot. We began at the Walt Disney Concert Hall to take in the incredible architecture that the building offers. I love all the reflections that the building has! It makes every engagement shoot completely unique.

After the sun had gone down we took a quick trip to The Broad Museum and then we were off to my "not so secret"-"secret location" for our dramatic, nighttime shoot with a little help from my off-camera-flash.

At the John Ferraro Building directly behind Ahmanson Theatre, you can find epic views of the Downtown Skyline. Brenda + Carlos truly felt like they had the whole city to themselves that night which made the evening all the more romantic. They will be married this August at The Pasadena Masonic Temple and I could not be happier for them ;) Check out their entire engagement session below!
