Pasadena is such an incredible part of LA. It has such a wonderful mix of both the old and the new, as well as the perfect balance between the city and the beautiful natural features of the mountains and hills that surround it. This is why we were so excited when Katie & Chris suggested that we meet them at one of their frequent hiking spots down along the Arroyo Seco trail. As you’ll see below, this space provides such an interesting intersection of natural space and architecture, and we were in photog heaven getting to take it all in through our lenses.
On top of all of this, Katie & Chris are just totally incredible people. We clicked with them immediately, and Chris and I (Derren) spent almost the entire time talking about music, trumpet playing (we’re both classically trained players), and about Chris’s amazing music and composition projects (which you can find out more about here). They were so much fun to explore with! When we asked them to ford the Arroyo with us to explore the other side they didn’t think twice, and were so cool about getting dusty and dirty along the way. We honestly cannot wait for their intimate farm wedding in Northern California later this month. You guys are awesome! Enjoy!
