Normally I take my time with the first few shots of an engagement session. Since all of my couples are not professional models (even though they all look like it), it usually takes a few shots to get them used to being in front of the camera. But Stephanie and Rene had to be pros from the very first click of the shutter, I mean there was only so much time that our LAPD escort could hold up downtown Los Angeles traffic just for our shoot…

There was a bit of a movie theme to this engagement shoot, of course I guess you can’t really go anywhere around Los Angeles without being somewhere a movie has been filmed. We started out at the 2nd Street Tunnel right downtown, where several movies have been filmed, including Independence Day and The Terminator just to name a few. There was one problem, too much traffic to really get what we wanted. Luckily Stephanie had a little pull with the Los Angeles Police Department, so a unit showed up for us and blocked traffic so we could get these awesome shots to start the session…

Here’s a shot of the unit that helped us out…thanks guys!

We headed up to Angels Flight Park for our next stop…

Recognize this view? Well you will if you’re a fan of the movie 500 Days of Summer like myself…

And our final stop on the shoot was the Walt Disney Concert Hall…

What an incredible day with an awesome couple, I seriously can’t wait for the wedding!
