Pasadena, California Mansion Engagement Photos

Are you looking at getting your engagement photos done in Pasadena, California? When it comes to planning your engagement session, there are endless possibilities for unique and special locations. One idea that can add a meaningful touch to your photos is to choose a location that holds sentimental value to you and your partner. In a recent session with one of my clients in Pasadena, I had the opportunity to capture Lara + Ocean’s love story at Lara’s old high school. And her highschool happens to be a historical mansion.

Both Lara and Ocean grew up in Pasadena, so it felt fitting for them to choose a place that was sentimental and in the city they still live in. Creating a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere for their photos was exactly what Lara was dreaming up. The old gorgeous architecture, moody wood elements and columns were the perfect backdrop for capturing their love story in a place that holds so many cherished memories. Especially on film!

One of the benefits of choosing a location with personal significance is that it allows you to relax and be yourselves in front of the camera. It’s also the best way to get comfortable with your photographer before your big day.

Whether you choose to have your engagement session at your old high school, a favorite beach, or around your neighborhood where you two frequently walk, selecting a location that has personal meaning to you and your partner can make for a truly unforgettable experience. The result is a set of images that not only showcase your love story, but also evoke emotions and memories that will last a lifetime.
