The engagement photos I take are used for a lot of things: Save the Date cards, signature boards, photo guest books, table numbers, Christmas cards...but I think Nikki just gave me a first: she emailed me and simply said, "We want to be in the New York Times Wedding section." Nikki and Shelly think big, and, Ladies, I really hope I see you two in the NYT Wedding section soon! This sitting was a perfect example of all of our plans falling through, but working out for the best. The first FOUR locations Nikki and Shelly chose to take their engagement photos in Downtown Los Angeles were either a) Hosting other people who thought they were perfect wedding locations or b) Shut down for filming. So, we worked fast and kept moving (Even begging a very nice guard at the Los Angeles Downtown Library to let us shoot for the 8 minutes we had before the wedding there was about to start). :-) We shot all OVER Downtown Los Angeles: The Library (before we got asked to leave), the California Club (Before a wedding reception), the Bank Buildings (before we were told no photos, please) and finally, the Disney Concert Hall (Um, before an event they were setting up for) and it was all worth it. They are having a wedding at the Los Angeles Athletic Club next March, with friends and family flying in from all over the country that I am certain-is going to be incredible!
