Dodger Stadium Engagement Photography
The following two photos are particularly poignant for Colin and Silvie as this is the exact place that they met: the lobby of the executive offices at Dodger Stadium.

DODGER STADIUM ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Los Angeles, CA 90012
This is a really cool story. Colin works for the Dodgers in the executive offices as Tommy Lasordas Press Coordinator (how cool is that by the way!) In 2009 on Armed Forces Appreciation Day at Dodger Stadium, Colin was standing near the entrance when he saw Silvie and her friend. Silvie is a Captain (soon to be a Major) in the Army, having served 12 years, including a combat tour in Iraq. Colin, seeing the ladies standing there, approached Silvie and her friend and said, “Excuse me ladies, but I have someone that would like to meet you two.” The next thing she knew she was in Tommy Lasorda’s office. Tommy looked at Silvie and said, “You’re a Captain!” You see, Tommy Lasorda is a U.S. Army Veteran, having served in the Army in the mid-1940s at the end of World War II. They all took pictures and joked around, and Colin gave Silvie his card so that she could send him the pictures from her camera to have Tommy sign them.
Silvie couldn’t wait. She emailed Colin in the third inning to thank him. From Silvie: His response was genuinely sincere. He described how he has the “utmost respect for me and my comrades who live a life devoted to the service of others, devoted to the protection of our nation and our treasured ideals, devoted to virtues like dedication, commitment, sacrifice and duty.” Later in the email he said, “when I passed you in the lobby I just had a warm feeling about you. But more importantly your smile is captivatingly beautiful.” You can just imagine how charmed I was to get such a wonderful email! I immediately liked him a lot more!!” They went on a date the next week, in what Silvie describes as the most romantic night of her life. The rest is history.
What better place to photograph their engagement photos than the exact place where they met! This time though, the stadium was quiet, the crowd was absent and Silvie and Colin were the stars, having the entire stadium to themselves, except for the pigeons and sparrows!
