How special that we were able to photograph on the historic 6th Street Bridge just before they stated tearing it down for replacement! I was so excited that they chose this location and we were able to capture a beautiful piece of history in Paula & Eric’s engagement photos. We had some unreal light to work with and of course I was so in love with Paula’s dreamy & ethereal dress. I don’t know how I get so lucky to work with so many sweet and kind couples, but these two are no exception and the afternoon was so much fun!

So excited for their intimate wedding coming up this spring!

I’m a wee bit envious of Mai & John who live in the heart of downtown LA. Everytime I pass through downtown there is a new amazing restaurant, collection of lofts for sale, wine bar, line of shops – it would be quite dreamy to live in an airy loft near Little Tokyo, being just a few steps away from ramen, or fancy schmancy hot dogs, & tons of perfect cafes. The next best thing though, of course, is to shoot there :)

I love the arts district and Mai & John worked it so well! We found lots of great spots before heading to Union Station to finish up. Such a fun afternoon – so excited for their wedding come July!

P.S. This has never happened before, but we randomly bumped into 3 (3!) photographers that we knew during this session – Serena, Dave, & my sister. We bumped into the last one first, and as I was chatting with Mai & John, explaining, “yeah, the arts district is really popular for photoshoots”, Scott goes “um, I think that’s your sister.” Crazy!
