Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_015My favorite kind of engagement session is when I get to spend an afternoon wandering spots that are special to a couple (especially when it involves pizza, books, and a gorgeous semi-cloudy afternoon). Tyler, an artist, and Rosie, an actress, have called So Cal their home for a number of years, but are soon leaving Los Angeles and wanted to have their engagement session at some of their favorite local Echo Park hangouts.  It is a major bonus when I get to work with souls as creative as these two.  Rosie doesn’t hold back, it was eye opening to see her nuanced expressions. These two had such a great vibe and were game for anything.  When I saw how perfectly their outfits matched the flowering tree, there was no hesitation when I asked them to get their heads up into the thick of the branches.

I don’t know if it’s because I was shooting a couple in love that made me hyper aware of all things romance related, but I kept seeing little wedding knick knacks that added to their story.Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_007 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_009 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_008 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_010 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_011 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_012 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_013 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_014 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_016 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_017 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_018 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_019 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_020 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_021 Echo Park Engagement_Vivian Lin Photo_022Thanks to Two Boots Pizza and Stories Bookshop for letting us shoot!  Thanks to Tyler and Rosie, for being really awesome to work with!  LA’s going to miss you.
