In the middle of a blistering hot Sunday afternoon, in the middle of a Southern Californian heatwave, Felicia and I met up with Eileen and Nathan for an engagement shoot at the Los Angeles Arboretum.  After paying our $8 each and being cautioned by the front desk ladies against taking “Professional Photography” (they specifically seemed concerned about flash stands and reflectors) we spent the next hour and a half, camera in hand, wandering all about this giant garden.

We all did our best to be low key during the shoot, and made it through the entire time with no security issues.  I would definitely love to do another shoot here in the future – there are just so many amazing backgrounds!

Eileen and Nathan were absolutely cool, didn’t let the heat get them down AND remained picture perfect!  I, on the other hand, ended up as a sweaty mess from climbing on everything I saw.
