{Wil & Rachel | Walt Disney Concert Hall + Santa Monica Engagement Session | Los Angelas Wedding Photographer} Holy Moly. Shooting in LA was a treat--a real break from the desert and a breath of fresh sea air. We filled our lungs and dove head first into this session. Starting early Friday afternoon, Rachel made her way to my pad to get hair and make-up done (by my amazing RIGHT HAND WOMAN for this trip, Ms Dana Buchanan of Buchanan Studios!) We planned out last details of outfits and made our way to meet Wil downtown. (Aside: Wil, if there was anything MOST awesome about this shoot, was watching you relax and love your woman. thank you for trusting me; letting me give you weird funny direction. laughing. being goofy. oozing affection over your bride-to-be. it was a joy to meet you and spend time with both you and a sweetheart!) Rachel...girlfriend, you owned this one. You are going to be one STUNNING bride :) | lkm This building was fantastic to play with! Did you know that the Walt Disney Concert Hall used to actually be uber shiny but it caused too many downtown traffic accidents with glare in the afternoon sun so they actually had to go scrub out the shine and 'matte' it up?? Crazy. kinda miss the sparkle. but i suppose people are more important than pictures. We made our way to the Dorothy Chandler Pavlilion Courtyard to play a bit... And then we scooted west and headed towards Santa Monica Pier... so much PLAY... :) so incredibly stoked to shoot Wil & Rachel's continued love story this June...at their wedding...on Redondo Beach. More sand and tides to come baby. "May the love roll in evermore!" WOOT | lkm
