I love how Anna and Lonngren picked out places that hold a special place in their hearts and describe who they are so perfectly. For me, it was extra special going back to the places I shot at when photography was just a hobby a few years ago. Some of you might remember my photos at Central Library, Pershing Square, and Union Station from 2006. Although I enjoyed the architecture and nostalgic feeling of these places, I knew something, or rather someone(s), was missing in the photos back then. My images needed life and realism to them, with a strong sense of love and fantasy, that these places are indeed real and people in love can go there to experience it in various shapes, forms, and colors. And thus I began my wedding photography journey…
I was beyond thrilled when Anna and Lonngrenn wanted their engagement session in Downtown LA, particularly at the places mentioned above. I enjoyed watching the way Anna and Lonngren laughed, hugged, and smiled at each other; the way they raced up and down the escalators, looked at one another across the library table, and held hands while walking through the train station tunnels. It was truly magical capturing and experiencing Anna and Lonngren’s love for each other. I can’t wait to start off 2009 with their wedding! Also, I want to thank Anna’s brother for finding my blog and referring me to Anna, and also to her mom for helping me work out the details of the wedding photography package all the way from Texas. I look forward to meeting you both on 1/3/09 :).
