Pasadena City Hall Anniversary

July 31, 2025

Cris and Meliza were married February 24, 2023 on a brutally rainy day at Knollwood Country Club. It poured so hard that we didn’t even get a chance to step outside for sunset portraits. So I offered them the next best thing: an anniversary session at Pasadena City Hall.

Pasadena City Hall is known for it’s stunning European architecture that sets you up for the most romantic imagery.

We walked around City Hall where I got to follow these lovebirds and watch how much they loved each other after a whole year.

City Hall is so stunning! I love that the neutral buildings diffuse light. But if you walk around the neighborhood of City Hall, the architecture doesn’t stop there. It’s all around with stunning businesses and apartments. You really do feel like you’re walking in the middle of a French city.

I loved getting a chance to serve Cris + Meliza. Their commitment to God and each other is remarkable. They were such a relaxed couple who enjoyed their loved ones and each other at their wedding. No bridezillas here!
