Sunset Engagement Session at the Griffith Observatory | Los Angeles, California
The Griffith Observatory is one of the most popular sightseeing destinations in Los Angeles. There are, of course, drawbacks to having your engagement session here—crowds to contend with, as well as somewhat difficult parking, depending on how busy the Observatory is on that day.
However, sometimes things are popular because they are actually amazing. The building itself is historic and interesting, on most days you have a clear and fairly close view of the Hollywood Sign, there’s a trail below the Observatory for some variety in your engagement photo gallery, and parking—while a little expensive—is readily available and clearly marked.
The biggest reason I think it’s an undeniable winner for out-of-town couples is because of how iconic it is. If you’re consciously choosing to get married in Los Angeles, I think it makes sense to lean in and pick a location that really screams LOS ANGELES. Nothing does that better than Griffith Observatory.
And as a side note about the crowds—I’ve always found that people are particularly nice and willing to wait for couples getting formal photos taken at locations like Griffith Observatory. Maybe it’s because people who are on vacation are usually in a good mood, or maybe it’s because asking kindly garners kind results. But I wouldn’t worry too much about passers by ruining your experience. A good photographer knows how to get the shot.
With all that being said, please enjoy some of the images from this beautiful sunset engagement session at the Griffith Observatory.
