The cutest coffee and tea house I’ve ever seen called The Pannikin is a special place to Lauren + Josh. And the perfect place for a shoot, hangout, coffee and snack. They complement each other so well and are just beautiful on the inside and outside.
Demi + Steven met at Drawing Room, which is a cozy little dive bar in Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. We decided it wasn’t too divey or not divey enough. It’s thee perfect amount of dive, which also makes it the ideal place for their engagement shoot. I found out later celebrities have been known to frequent. And several of my clients love this place, so I’m surprised I’m just now discovering it. We were lucky to have Demi + Steven’s bartender friend let us do whatever we wanted and she even made some fake drinks (then real drinks) for the shoot.
Thank you Demi + Steven for such a fun shoot and introducing me to this fun place!
Come back soon for their wedding that is Surrealist themed!
How fun is the dragon?!
I loved the different color lighting effects.
Love this bright, fun, happy engagement shoot at the Santa Monica pier with Sarah and Wade. We had such a good time even though they were nervous at first to get their pictures taken. Sarah wrote me a sweet note after the session that I just loved:
Hi Dana,
Wade and I want to thank you for your treat and also for the wonderful engagement photo session! You made our first photo session so incredibly easy and fun! We felt like we were hanging out with a friend!
Check out Brittany + Grant’s fun session that incorporated a burger (they ate it in nice clothes) and their sweet dog! I always encourage my couples to really think about what makes their relationship unique.. What things they like to do together and what’s important to them. They like burgers, tequila and hanging out in this cool park with their dog-child. And I like them!
They are getting married this Friday and incorporating a lot of handmade and meaningful things. Can’t wait!
Brittany has a beautiful, big smile and I love the combination with her ring.
Penny + Jonathan are a wonderful couple and I just love hanging out with them. They are a gorgeous couple AND we got some of the most gorgeous light I’ve seen in a while.
