{wendy & lei | e-session}

Last week I photographed Wendy and Lei for their engagement session. When we met to discuss locations, the only requirement they had was for it to not look like LA and definitely not the beach. Wendy and Lei work and live in LA and as they see it every day they didn’t want it for their engagement images.

While surfing around the web, they had seen the amazing images from Grey Stone Mansion in Beverly Hills and decided that would be the place for their perfect engagement session. And so it was, that is after a little bit of going back and forth with location and scheduling, lol.

Wendy & Lei are a super sweet couple that enjoys laughter, which I love. With Wendy and Lei the laughs just kept rolling. You could feel how much they love eachother and relish in one another’s company.

We started off the session with a little fun and some balloons. With the wind factor, it was very amusing, lol. Poor Wendy kept getting attacked by the bouncy pink balloons. Grey Stone Mansion has beautiful greenery and an amazing view of Downtown Los Angeles. Even though Wendy & Lei didn’t want anything that looked like LA, I couldn’t resist. And we got a true representation of LA with the first-rate haze and smog, lol. Nonetheless still a marvelous view. On the property is a charming little pond with Koi fish and turtles. The Koi fish have meaning to Lei, as his mom had a few small Koi fish when he was a young boy. Of course, my fascination with turtles made it irresistible for me to photograph the playful turtles and even post an image on the blog, lol. Thanks for letting me into your world guys, I had a fabulous time!

P.S. Thanks Simple for referring such a wonderful couple!
