This location for an engagement shoot is about as classy as it can get. Honestly, despite a lot of walking around, it is a huge amount of fun and creates amazing images, whether at night or in the day. Ladies, bring a pair of walking shoes! There are some wild cards. The Disney Music Hall is not always open and accessible and the "secret" location is alway a huge wild card as the waterfall fountain is not always running.
I forgot to mention in the first article about timing for engagment sessions. Normally, it should occur in that last 2 hours headed into sunset, but as you will see here, we got great results after the sun is down too!
Grant Park Fountains, near Dorothy Chandler Building
Walt Disney Music Hall Center, Day Shot
Below: I have shot here for years and I keep finding great places to take amazing images.
LADWP, A fantastic place if you love L.A.
The LADWP building is a huge part of the area that we can capture. Again, this is all a nice walk in Los Angeles.
I know I kept the secret place among these areas, just to be sure you scrolled all the way down. This can sadly often be a bit of a let down. Why? Well we had water shortages so they turned it off, if it is too windy, they turn it off and honestly I have not been there since Covid started... c'mon, someone ask me to do this sequences of locations, it has been a long time. The last photo in these shots is on the side of The Broad.
At a final location to share in downtown LA, is the Arts District and J-Town (aka Little Tokyo) as well as some more inner city looks on the tracks.
