A Perfect Day for a Pasadena Engagement

I met Mika and Jordan just outside of Pasadena City Hall the evening of their engagement session, about an hour before sunset. This engagement session served as a prelude to their upcoming wedding, as Pasadena City Hall is just steps from the Westin Pasadena, where their wedding will take place next year.

Pasadena City Hall Photoshoots

Pasadena City Hall stands as an architectural masterpiece nestled in the heart of Southern California. Its blend of Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles exudes timeless elegance and charm, and as a Los Angeles wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing many love stories against this picturesque setting.

Here’s why Pasadena City Hall is a beautiful location for engagement sessions that I always recommend.

Architecture

One of the most striking features of Pasadena City Hall is its intricate architecture. The grandeur of its towering arches, majestic domes, and ornate details offers a unique backdrop for romantic portraits that are unexpected in Southern California.

Versatile Settings

Whether you envision a classic, sophisticated vibe or a more playful, whimsical aesthetic, Pasadena City Hall can cater to a diverse range of preferences. Couples can explore the grounds and discover quaint alcoves, serene gardens, and a charming fountain. And no matter how many times I work in the space, I always feel inspired by a new angle.
