LA Arboretum Engagement Photos, Ambassador Gardens | Annie & Jon

It was surely a treat hanging out with Annie and Jon during their engagement photography session at the Los Angeles Arboretum.  There is something just so magnetic about Annie and Jon; and I am just crazy about them!!  It could very well be her friendly and contagious smile or his genuine goofiness that makes everyone so at ease.   They are the kind of couple that you just can’t help but smile (when being being around them) regardless of what mood you’re in.  In fact, after their engagement session, I think I got a few extra wrinkles around my eyes from laughing so much with them.  =)  I am so excited and can’t wait till their wedding day at the beautiful Ambassador Mansions and Gardens in Pasadena. So keep reading for our day of Los Angeles (LA) Arboretum engagement photos!

I don’t think there’s one picture where Annie and Jon are not smiling or laughing. The LA Arboretum is a perfect setting for engagement photos, since it has a large variety of natural backdrops and greenery. We started them on a bench to ease them into the engagement photography session.

This engagement photography portrait session took place at the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia (off Baldwin Ave.). It’s a hidden gem that has bamboo forests and tons of greenery in the background. We then went over to the Ambassador Mansion Gardens and Campus for more engagement photos. This was their wedding venue, but since then the Ambassador Gardens has been converted into high-end housing units. They sadly no longer offer events services, which is a shame with such a gorgeous and unique venue.
