Urban Engagement

No, this is not a military thread. I have quite a few weddings coming up in September so we have been busy with engagement sessions a lot lately. I had a fantastic couple this weekend who wanted something a little different. Paul & Arminah have a real edgy but classic style about them, so we went cruising around downtown LB to see what we could get.

This little alley was the last thing we found and is now my new favorite "spot".

I loved shooting Paul. He has a very old school James Dean look about him. When we started, he looked at me with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "ok, what do I do?" It told him "you're already doing it man, don't change a thing".
Armineh is gorgeous. Check out those eyes!

She also has her tough side.

Don't get me wrong, I love the beach. I got married on the beach I shoot a lot there, the light is great and we get fantastic shots. Just that not everyone is a beach person, or a back alley person, that's what makes my job so great. It's never the same old thing.
