Los Angeles Couples Session at the Griffith Observatory

I actually met Bethany, originally, at a coffee shop in Charleston. It's actually a long story as to why I approached her, but I used to make frequent habit of approaching strangers, with captivating looks, and asking to photograph them. Fast forward to a few years later and I was out in LA for a wedding - remembering that she recently moved out there with her partner, Phillip. I asked Bethany if I could photograph her while I was out there, Phillip came along, and we took some truly beautiful couples portraits - images that felt reflective of the calm presence and beauty that these two shared.
