Bicycle Engagement Session, Griffith Park Engagement Session, Los Angeles Engagement Session, Outdoorsy Engagement Session

Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_45Who knew there was a forest right smack in the middle of LA?  Who knew the long sleeping vegetation could survive all these years of So Cal drought and revive with a healthy dose of rain?  Well, Zinnia and York had every confidence in me finding a spot of green in Griffith Park.  Their engagement shoot took place back in December, before I realized how blessed we would be with all this rain, and it had been a while since I had shot there.  I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this lovely location, with rolling hills and wintry trees.  It worked out great to incorporate the cheery blue bike Zinnia and York had brought along for their session.  The bike was the perfect personal touch for their love story.  Zinnia fell for York shortly after she expressed her desire to start cycling.  York went above and beyond by training Zinnia for her goal of cycling 70 miles.  Wow.  Thank you, Zinnia and York, for climbing hills, sweating a little, and being such an inspiration as a couple.  I had so much fun, I took Ray and our dogs back to hike that section of Griffith the very next weekend.Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_3Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_7Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_11-2Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_4Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_25Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_15Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_33Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_42Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_37Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_41-2Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_49Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_55Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_60Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_67Griffith Park Engagement_ZY_Vivian Lin Photography_58Super excited for your big day!

DTLA Engagement_AV_Vivian Lin Photography_66

After a proper winter hibernation of snuggling with my new hubby (I just got married at the end of 2016!), working on my new website (it’s still in beta mode, but I’m already a proud mama!), and taking on a massive decluttering a la Marie Kondo style, I’M BACK and I’m taking on 2017 with new fervor.

Thank goodness Ray is not the jealous type, because I came home from this engagement session raving about Victor and Amy.  Victor and Amy had wanted to revisit some of their favorite spots in downtown LA for their engagement session.  They had been dating for a long time, and many of their happiest (and wildest!) memories have taken place all within a few blocks of each other.

As soon as we met up, I swooned over Amy’s dress black lace dress from Anthropologie.  I swear, I’d been day dreaming about that dress for months online.  It was such a treat to photograph someone who rocked it!  Amy told me Victor had bought it for her because she only has work clothes and never has time to shop.  The man is thoughtful and has taste.  And he knows what looks amazing on her!

We had the best time, taking turns leading each other through the streets of LA.  Hitting up La Cita for their infamous Bloody Mary is now on my 2017 bucket list.  No drinking for me on the job, but perhaps I’ll be looking forward to a celebratory drink the day after Amy and Victor’s upcoming wedding at the Oviatt Penthouse!

Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_26-EditDiane and Ben met while she was interning abroad, and they’ve kept the flames going across the Pacific Ocean.  What’s even more fitting about this aviation engagement session is Diane works in design for the airline industry!  For a woman who draws, dreams, and designs for the experience of flying, I couldn’t have been more inspired by their nostalgic outfits and their world traveled vibes.Cal Aero Field_Diptych_Vivian Lin PhotoVintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_6Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_35Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_40Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_45Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_58Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_60Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_77Cal Aero_Diptych 2_Vivian Lin PhotoCal Aero_Diptych 3_Vivian Lin PhotoVintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_83Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_93Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_100Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_105Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_131Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_138Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_141Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_154Vintage Airplane Engagement_D&B_Vivian Lin Photography_163
