Stunning and Colorful Engagement Session Photos | Los Angeles County Arboretum

What is better than capturing a gorgeous couple in a gorgeous location? Nothing! Leading up to our shoot, I chatted with my couple about what they were hoping to capture. They mentioned wantign colorful engagement session photos, and I knew exactly where I wanted to take them! We headed to the Los Angeles County Arboretum , which I LOVE for all of the variety it offers! The gorgeous landscape changes depending on the time of year it is, but it’s always absolutely stunning. Such are the perks of living in Los Angeles, am I right?

My couple also wanted to feature their traditional formal Indian outfits for the session. The bride is Indian and the groom is Mexican, so their upcoming wedding is a beautiful combination of cultures. I couldn’t be more excited for it! The soon-to-be bride had really beautiful gold outfit with beaded overlay details, so I loved that the hues in the blossoming tree and speckles of light complimented her outfit. Our session took place just before sunset, so the light filtered softly through the trees. Scroll to the last photo to see how the background just lit up behind them to capture their colorful engagement session photos !

I love capturing my couples’ engagement sessions before the wedding. It always gives me a good opportunity to connect with them more and to really get to know what their unique love looks like! I love how natural this couple related to each other, and how easily they made each other laugh. Though their personalities are different, they’re perfect for each other. Opposites really do attract!
