Pasadena City Hall Wedding Photographer - Kellie and Morgan July 26, 2025
This was going to be a short one our session so I know I had to be on the top of my game. Even with a short time to capture them, I focus on the details of what is happening and make sure I capture the feeling of the day. Being a full time wedding and event photographer based in Pasadena, the Pasadena City Hall is by far my most frequent place to shoot. It never gets old. It never feels like "oh here again". It feels like home.
