The day after Christmas our team met up with Tabitha and Danny down in Los Angeles to shoot engagement photos. We began by heading to the Griffith Observatory. We though that because it was the middle of the week that it would be pretty empty but to our surprise it was actually so crowded that they blocked cars from driving up to the top and we had to park near the bottom of the hill. So we really began our day by carrying all of our equipment on a hike. Then once at the top we were approached by a patrolman who informed us that if we were caught using any of our lighting equipment (stands, umbrellas, etc) we would be fined…not to worry though because we never let unexpected obstacles slow us down. Yeah it was extremely crowded but we found great angles to shoot from and Tabitha and Danny were in their own world as if nobody was there. After we finished up at the first location we then hurried over to Santa Monica Beach and Pier just in time for a beautiful sunset. Beautiful location, beautiful light, and a beautiful couple. It couldn’t have turned out more perfect. It was hard narrowing these photos down because there are just so many authentically beautiful emotions. Enjoy!
