Romantic Summer Engagement at Pasadena City Hall | Lindsay & David
There’s something about Pasadena City Hall engagement sessions in the summer—the way the golden hour sun filters through the aches, the warm tones bouncing off historic stone, and the quiet hum of people milling around the courtyard just before sunset. For Lindsay and David, the location is more than just beautiful architecture—it’s the place where David got down on one knee and asked Lindsay to marry him.
Their Pasadena City Hall engagement session was the perfect way to celebrate that milestone and capture this meaningful spot in their love story.
Their Pasadena City Hall Proposal Story
Lindsay and David connected on Hinge while living in Pasadena, but as they quickly discovered, they had more connections than they realized. Both had attended the same university in Virginia one year apart and had likely crossed paths without ever officially meeting. It wasn’t until after college, both living on the West Coast, that their worlds aligned.
About a week before the big proposal moment, David suggested a Saturday night pizza date—a nod to their very first date together. His “random” choice of California Pizza Kitchen was no accident; it’s right next to Pasadena City Hall, and he had a plan.
That evening, Lindsay left the house in sweatpants and no makeup, but David’s choice of a button-up shirt raised alarm bells in Lindsay’s mind. They set out for dinner, walking hand-in-hand through Old Town Pasadena. By the time they reached City Hall, Lindsay had already opened up her Notes app to jot down her suspicion that he was about to propose—and just a few steps later, David proved her right.
Now, a year later, we returned to this same spot to document their engagement session.

Lindsay and David, along with their adorable pup Adee, arrived at Pasadena City Hall just as the evening light began to soften. The warm summer air, sound of the fountain, and beautiful Spanish-style architecture created a relaxed, romantic backdrop, and the couple included their sweet Adee throughout the session.
In just a few months, the couple will be saying “I do” at the University Club of Pasadena, and I can’t wait to share the story of the next chapter of their love story.
