Pasadena City Hall

Pasadena City Hall. An iconic location for an engagement session and elopements. Genesis and Kevin’s session was NO exception. Kevin had made it clear that they were looking for a location with a European feel and architecture. We took a stroll around city hall and ventured where it felt natural. So much romance between Kevin and Genesis, my heart was so full. I am so excited for their spring wedding at Tuscan Rose Ranch next year. 

For Kevin and Genesis, Pasadena City Hall was the perfect backdrop for their engagement session. Between the grand archways and tree-lined walkways, every frame felt effortlessly romantic and editorial. We wandered through the courtyard, shared quiet laughs, and let the afternoon light do its magic — creating the kind of photos that feel warm, emotional, and genuine.

What I love most about Pasadena City Hall is how it balances luxury and simplicity. Whether it’s the gentle curve of the staircase or the way the light hits those stone walls, it creates such a romantic, editorial feel — perfect for couples who want photos that feel timeless and elevated.

If you’re planning your own engagement session at Pasadena City Hall or Los Angeles, I’d love to help you capture something beautiful and true to your love story.
