PEARDON CARRILLO PHOTOGRAPHY
DOWNTOWN COOL RETRO ENGAGEMENT - LOS ANGELES, CA
These two LA teachers found us through a referral from their hair stylist, and when we met them they had a small idea of what they wanted but they did not have the complete picture. After talking with them we assured them that we would help them from all our years of experience working with fashion find all the perfect locations and even help stylize them for an awesome engagement shoot. So she showed us some pictures of her dress and he gave us a description of what he was going to be wearing, and they had this 60's retro look with a parisian kind of style. So we suggested the 2nd street LA bridge and Elysian Park as a great fit for them. We also suggested a big red balloon and some hats to round out there look, and they agreed. So after a few weeks we met them on a cloudy day at the LA bridge, and they shared with us that they were little nervous, so we asked more questions about them and we shared more about us as we photographed them on the bridge. After several minutes you could see their faces just begin to relax and suddenly they were taking our direction like a pair of professional models. They looked great and were easy to work with on all the fun and romantic shots they wanted. Next we added the hats we brought for them and spontaneously directed them to the LA river underneath the bridge and got some great lifestyle images. After this we headed up to Elysian Park, and by this time we were capturing some great images of their love in full action! The red balloon and her dark retro dress with her red berate and red shoes were just poping off the pictures. His brown fedora hat and white shirt with brown tie and blue jeans were also working well! We even liked his black converse high top sneakers to complete their look. It was all working to perfection! We finished out their shoot and told a great story of two teachers in LA who really loved each other. They loved what we did and even complemented us on the fun day together.
We really do enjoy finding an Artistic style with all our Engagement couples! We listen to them and create a style that works best for every couple we meet! If you would like an Engagement session like this then click on the book a session button down below!
