Gay Engagement Session in Los Angeles | Andrew + Dae
Andrew and Dae’s engagement session felt warm, joyful, and full of movement. Set across Los Angeles, the city itself became part of the story, urban textures softened by greenery, bridges and structures framing moments, and golden light pulling everything together.
As Los Angeles wedding photographers, we love engagement sessions that feel like an experience rather than a photoshoot. This one felt alive from start to finish.
Andrew + Dae
Andrew and Dae balance each other beautifully. Andrew, a Scorpio working in film and television, brings depth and intention. Dae, an Aquarius working in communications, brings curiosity and ease. Together, they’re thoughtful, playful, and deeply connected.
They love eating their way through the city, watching movies, traveling, and exploring Los Angeles with fresh eyes. Art matters to them. Experiences matter more than things. That mindset shaped everything about this session.
Urban Energy Meets Green Space
They were drawn to settings that felt layered and dynamic, places where the city’s structure meets softness and light. We moved through urban environments, greenery, bridges, and rooftops, letting each location shift the mood slightly without losing cohesion.
Magic hour played a big role. The light wrapped gently, adding warmth and color while keeping the energy relaxed and spontaneous. Nothing felt over-directed. The focus stayed on interaction, laughter, and how they naturally move together.
Cinematic, Candid, and Full of Joy
Andrew and Dae wanted their photos to feel:
Warm and joyful
Vibrant and eventful
Playful, not posed
Cinematic but real
They cared less about perfection and more about capturing a feeling, that sense that everyone was having a great time, that the day mattered. That guided how we photographed the session, stepping back when moments unfolded naturally and leaning in when the energy shifted.
The result is a set of images that feels expressive and honest. Artsy without being distant. Cool without trying too hard.
Photographing Gay Engagement Sessions in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is an incredible place for engagement sessions because it offers so much variety without needing to leave the city. When couples like Andrew and Dae want photos that feel cinematic, colorful, and rooted in real connection, the city becomes a collaborator.
Our approach is always the same: pay attention, let moments breathe, and create space for couples to show up as themselves.
If you’re planning a gay engagement session in Los Angeles or looking for a Los Angeles wedding photographer who prioritizes candid moments, artistry, and joy, we’d love to create something that feels unmistakably yours.
