Graffiti Art, Downtown Los Angeles Engagement Photography | Karla + Omar

We get quite a few couple that have their engagement session locally, with a destination wedding elsewhere. Karla and Omar had their wedding in Mexico, but wanted an urban engagement photo session in downtown Los Angeles.  We headed down to the arts district to get some fun photos with graffiti and more.  There is a ton of texture and color, which made a great backdrop for a fun, happy couple. So scroll down for Los Angeles engagement photography!

Graffiti Art District

We started the downtown engagement photography session in the graffiti arts district, a popular and constantly changing section of downtown east and south of DTLA. There is an abundant amount of artistic and amazing graffiti murals that often cover the entire side of a whole building or warehouse.

You never know when you’ll find a random piano!

So in art imitating life, or life imitating art.  Gotta love downtown Los Angeles.

And here is a great example of dragging the shutter, where the shutter is left open long enough to blur anything that is moving fast.

Los Angeles Engagement Photography with the Downtown Skyline

After that we caught the tip of the sunset as it descended below the Los Angeles skyline. We were on train tracks (without irresponsibly being on live train tracks), which added to the industrial setting of the location. This is an iconic spot for downtown engagement photos and is often a location used in music videos and movies.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

We then went to the Walt Disney Concert Hall (WDCH).  Night engagement photography sessions at the concert hall offers unique lighting and colors that sunlight hides.  We specialize in low-light photography, so you could say downtown Los Angeles engagement photography is our specialty.

Grand Park Engagement Photos

Grand Park is a great place for engagement photography, but note that they now are cracking down on photography and require permits.  It’s a shame, since the colors and water are an amazing backdrop.
