UNION STATION VINTAGE ENGAGEMENT WITH ANIMATION!

Union Station is the main railway station
in Los Angeles, California.
800 North Alameda Street,
Los Angeles, CA 90012

Get ready for what I think may be one of the coolest and most unique engagement sessions ever!

Sean and Kelly are animators in the movie business. Sean has worked on many famous movies, like Shrek and Madagascar, and was even nominated for an Annie Award (equivalent to an Oscar in the animation world) earlier this year. They came to us with a very specific photo shoot in mind. They wanted a vintage themed engagement at Union Station, photographed in a way that they could later animate various characters into for their Save the Date Invitations. Are you kidding? How fun!

This shoot was incredible because there was so much collaboration. Kelly and Sean rented vintage costumes and Allie brought in the coat and steamer trunk from her personal collection. Each set-up required us to allow for space so that later they could draw in the characters. Kelly and Sean acted out the scenes while we directed, lit and photographed them. A technical note: in almost all of the shots we are using off-camera strobes that are hand-held and modified with an umbrella or a small Photoflex lightbox. This shoot is also a great example of what Allie and I specialize in: absolutely capturing our client’s unique individual and combined personalities with highly specific and planned engagement shoots.

Get this, their wedding is at the end of the year at a castle on the East Coast. The theme? We can’t tell you, let’s  just say that it may be Fairy Tale themed. Our Associate Ashleigh will be photographing it. Look for it on our blog at the end of the year!
