GAVIN PHOTOGRAPHY

Today I shot Mirna and Marcus over at the Getty Center in West Los Angeles.  They are getting married in Miami later this year, but wanted some Los Angeles engagement photos over here in socal.

Today I shot Afsoon and Mehdi, who are getting married in Iran but wanted their engagement pictures here at home in Los Angeles. We started at UCLA and hopped down to Santa Monica.

Kelly and Glen decided on UCLA and Santa Monica for their pics, so I try to get new pics whenever I shoot at the same location (especially when it is the next week).

Today I shot Sudheer and Caitlin’s engagement photo session. We all descended from UCLA (actually I ascended from the bowels of the engineering hall, Boelter), so it was pretty cool to visit old hangout spots. Many of these spots were awesome for that midday college nap in the shady grass of a brick building.

I shot Tiffanie and Henk this weekend in Marina Del Rey.  Starting with a traditional Vietnamese ceremony, they then had a Catholic ceremony in Venice and a modern reception at The Victorian in Santa Monica.

Today I did Uyen and Ron’s engagement shoot at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, which is actually where he proposed to her. After that we headed down to Santa Monica to finish up the shoot.

Today we started at the Le Merigot Hotel in Santa Monica. The ceremony and reception was at the Inn of the Seventh Ray, a great little restaurant in Topanga Canyon.

Today I did an engagement photography session with Melissa and Dennis, which is nuts because their wedding is on the 9th (3 days later)! They chose to start at the Getty Center in West Los Angeles and they brought their own picnic basket.

This Saturday I had the pleasure of being a second photographer for Steve Hoffman, who has been an inspiration to my work. We shot at the prestigious Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica, right on the Venice Boardwalk. Our day started at the Los Angeles Church of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) Temple.

I did a professional engagement photography session for Donna and Matt at the Santa Monica Pier, the Santa Monica beach, and the 3rd Street Promenade. A cute and affectionate couple, they were great to shoot and it led to some good candid moments.
