engagement: SLS Hotel and DTLA

I had the pleasure of documenting Jenn+Dave's engagement around LA, starting the day at SLS Hotel. This hotel makes for such beautiful photos! The drive into LA had me slightly concerned as it was drizzling almost my entire way! Just as I was approaching the Western exit, the sun peaked out....talk about the weather Gods pulling through! Not only did we have the most perfect, soft light, we also had the fluffiest clouds and the bluest skies ever!

When I was asked to shoot their engagement months ago, I was absolutely thrilled..It almost felt as if I was counting down the days until the shoot...but I promise you'll know why after you see the photos..the bride-to-be is absolutely gorgeous. stunning. beautiful. i'm talking jaw-dropping! Her fiance Dave is photogenic too, although, I found out during the shoot that it was the first time he had ever smiled in a picture...L.O.V.E. It makes people do crazy things ;) Apparently, he had been practicing all week.

Jenn is my best friend Janice's older sis...she is the face of Royal Accessories in downtown LA, where you can find Wedding everything! All props (wedding related) you see in our shoot is from Royal Accessories! Make your way over if you're a bride-to-be looking for quality at a reasonable price...Dave helps Jenn at Royal when he is not hard-at-work at the hospital..how perfect they are for one another! Jen and Dave will be wedding on 6/25/11 at the Pantheon Mansion in Corona..

I will not be the primary photographer as the world famous Ira Lippke will be, however, please believe I will have all my camera gear ready to document their special day! Maybe even learn a tip or two from the best of the best, Ira Lippke! I cannot wait for the big day!

Jenn, you will be the most beautiful bride..looking forward to seeing you all dolled up, again! Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your engagement. Hope these photos make you as happy as they made me!

Congratulations, Jenn and Dave on your engagement!
