When you think of a classic SoCal vibe, a few things immediately come to mind: towering rows of palm trees, the golden Los Angeles sun, and the roar of a vintage engine. For Alejandra and Jovanny, their DTLA engagement session wasn’t just a photoshoot; it was a cinematic tribute to the city they love.
The Iconic Backdrop of Elysian Park
The couple chose Elysian Park for their session, a location famous for offering the best of both worlds. On one side, you have the lush greenery and those perfectly aligned palm trees that scream “California Dreamin’.” On the other, you have a breathtaking view of the DTLA cityscape backdrop, providing a modern, urban edge to their romantic portraits.
Cruising Through LA in a Black Classic Firebird
What truly set this session apart was their “third wheel”—a stunning black classic Firebird. There is something inherently soulful about a vintage car in the heart of Los Angeles.
As Alejandra and Jovanny cruised through the streets, the Firebird’s sleek silhouette against the concrete jungle of Downtown LA created a vibe that was equal parts “rebel” and “romance.” The contrast of the black muscle car against the soft sunset light made every frame look like a still from a classic film.
