Howdy, Folks!

With day one of jury duty (haha..duty..) in the books, I thought I’d celebrate my very first day of serving my civil duty with another blog entry. Two entries in one day is quite epic for my standards, considering I can’t update regularly to save my own life.

Anyways, this engagement session is a perfect one to write about, especially since it took place just a block away from where the criminal court house was, where I was for jury duty. Doug and I were able to shoot some engagement pictures at the LA Times Building because Manu was a marketing associate for them. It was quite epic being able to get access to shoot there and get a tour of the building. There was so much history there and such a privilege to be roaming through the halls the way we were. Nita and Manu definitely had a blast as well. Check out some of the shots we took at the LA Times building before we moved onto the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Santa Monica Pier.

I can’t remember exactly what Manu said, but this was a very important executive room where there would be huge meetings around this large round desk where everyone can see each other. It’s always fun working with hair light to give that nice silhouette around them.

On to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, another icon of Downtown Los Angeles.

Here we are in the middle of the street in front of the Wells Fargo Building. Right after we were finished with this spot, we saw a couple of other photographers use the exact same location with almost the same pose after they saw us. It’s a compliment!

Nita and Manu really wanted to some beach pictures at sunset, so we raced to the Santa Monica Pier just in time to get the shots they really wanted.

It was quite unfortunate that we weren’t able to be there for their big day due to other obligations we had, but we wish them the very best! That tour through the LA Times building really felt once in a lifetime and we are definitely humbled. Walking through those halls really felt like stepping back in time and reliving some of the epic events that happened while the LA Times were around for.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and stay tuned for more!

Cheers,

Danny

Today, I am blogging from a very weird location. Instead of being in front of my usual two monitors at home or in front of my laptop at my favorite tea house, I’m in Downtown Los Angeles at the crimminal court house serving  my civic duty as a potential juror. It’s actually the first time I’ve been called in. I’ve always been lucky and able to dodge the jury duty bullet, but it was bound to happen. If I get picked for a case, I will do my best and perform my civic duty to my county.

I’ve had this really awesome wedding in my drafts for a while and have been meaning to post it up for some time, so what better time than now while I wait for my name to be called to be on a panel.

Kelly and Dean are quite the fun-loving couple who have been putting off getting married because life got in the way in the from of two little rambunctious boys. Better late than never and definitely worth the wait, their big day had finally arrived at the beautiful and historic La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes Estates. Check out some of the awesomeness that Doug and I were able to capture.

You’ve got to love the blue lips from the lolly pop!

Everybody loves a candy bar! We’ve been seeing these more often and they never seem to disappoint.

Cupcakes? Why not, right?

I knew I could only dodge the bullet for so long. Just as I thought about wrapping up the entry, my name was called to be on a jury panel after lunch. Lets see how this goes. Who knows, I may get on a celebrity case. I think Lindsey Lohan is supposed to be around here =)

Cheers!
