The thing that I love most about my job is that no two couples (no two people for that matter) are ever the same. When I show up to an engagement session I never know what exactly to expect, but I’m always prepared to try something a little new if I think it will better suit my clients. Laura and Nate were definitely an unique couple, and so their engagement session had to be as well!
We met up at a laundromat (well laundromat/coffee shop to be exact) which I thought could be a fun and out of the ordinary spot, and then moved on to the Santa Monica airport, where there are lots of rusty old walls and other funky spots to shoot. Laura and Nate described their taste to me as “quirky” and I think that these images do a good job of showing off that side of them!
I normally don’t post engagement sessions this soon after I shoot them, but I’m heading out of town on Saturday and wanted to make sure I got these up before I left! Here are a couple of my favorites….

What good is having a session in a laundromat if you’re not going to ride around in laundry carts?

And on to the Santa Monica airport….

This one is a special request for Laura… great idea

I love warm light!

Laura and Nate thanks so much for making the drive up to west LA and thank you for putting your trust in me to take your engagement photos! I can’t wait to have another shot at photographing you on your wedding day (and I can’t wait to see your dress Laura, I’m sure it’s going to be fabulous!). Congratulations and see you very soon!
