Milee and Tommy came to LA for a quick visit while planning their wedding back home in Korea. They thought it would be a great chance to get an engagement shoot in. Tommy had been to LA plenty of times (he grew up in the states), but it was Milee’s first trip. We decided on DTLA Arts District because there are SO MANY options. We grabbed coffee first at Blue Bottle then wandered around the streets and found some fun locations!
Do you ever feel like you have no days off? I mean honestly that's me every dang day. As a business owner and a freelancer, I work for myself, so I make my own hours, but honestly a lot of the time it feels like I'm ALWAYS working! Kristen and Seth 100% understand the struggle of work/life balance. We took the day to focus on them and what their day to day looks like. While they both are constantly traveling, working, emailing, etc - they often get to do it together, which is awesome! That's exactly what you want in a relationship. They do definitely spend a lot of time apart as well, but they make it work and do their best to maintain a work/life balance. We spent most of the day wandering around DTLA, specifically the arts district, but we also made it back to West Hollywood for some good shots! Enjoy!

Weddings in downtown are such a dream because us photographers can get all sorts of creative! The arts district is especially awesome because no matter where you look, theres a killer background. Amy and Oleg both got ready at the Ace Hotel then headed over to Millwick for their intimate ceremony. We spent a lot of time hanging out with them and taking photos all over DTLA beforehand!
I had the pleasure of teaming up with Gentleman Warfare to shoot their most recent line of watches. I've worked with their sister brand, Egard Watch Co. We shot around the Arts District and Downtown LA with Nicole and Sam. Enjoy!
Capture real, raw moments.
