Engagement Photos Round 1! Love Wall + Park + Balloons
After asking our friends if they would be interested in helping us with our engagement photos, we had an overwhelmingly generous response and decided to say “Yes,” to every single one of them, we only get to do this multiple times once right? 🙂 Together we came up with locations, wardrobes and themes for each one, and referred to our favorite site for inspiration, we especially loved this one, oh and this one too!
First photographer up is our wonderful friend, and fellow Gator, Amy (photography website coming soon!): Amy currently works in architecture and is shifting towards incorporating more and more photography into her work and free time. Her favorite food is “dessert,” she’s a pro at making Zoodles (25 delicious recipes here) + she loves seeing other people smile just as much as I do.
Us photographing our wonderful photographer:
First stop of the engagement photo escapades: the “Love Wall,” in Culver City.
The light from the East facing sun could not have been any better!
“This much!”
Shadows:
Change scene: In pursuit of a place to take our multicolored balloons for a stroll, we headed over to Kenneth Hahn Park and found way more than we had bargained for:
The moment right before a kiss, when you transition from a smile to a pucker… sigh:
We soon discovered all sorts of love nooks to explore!:
And then, then the golden hour began to settle in and that’s when things got really interesting:
Fly away with me?
“I’ll jump if you jump”…
Ready, set……………….!
Up, up and away!
Thank you Amy for an incredible experience and timeless shots of this special time. We will forever associate you with large amounts of balloons and well-made banana pudding 🙂
If you would like to get in touch with Amy for scheduling a photo shoot of your own please send us a message through our contact page.
Tips:
Scope out locations and purchase props beforehand.
Latex, helium balloons must be used day of, ours were all deflated by the next morning.
Decide where and what time to go based on how the sun will light it up.
Ladies, bring a pair of flip flops to wear during “scene changes” 😉
Have fun! These are memories that you will not only look back on in photos, but they will stay in your heart forever.
