Engagement Shoot Locations in San Fernando Valley

Hi Jenna! I haven't been to the San Fernando Valley in a very long time, but I would suggest places like botanical gardens or nice parks! Isn't there a place called something like Garden of the Gods? That's in the area, right?

You could also check out this Pre-wedding Photoshoot locations in Los Angeles discussion asking a similar question. The comments offer some pretty good responses, so you could look into those locations too and suggest them to your photographer, if they don't suggest it.

How did you choose your photographer? Where did you find them?

View Quoted Comment Thank you Maggie! I think we're going to go with Lake Balboa at Balboa Park. My mom suggested it and the photographer thought it was a great location. We originally wanted to go to Malibu but with the fires we don't know what kind of condition everything will be in and what the air quality will be like if they're not fully contained yet. We found our photographer on the preferred vendor list from our venue and loved her. We'll see how the photos come out from next weekend!

Descanso Gardens (near Padadena), Veterans park, O'Melveny Park, Japanese Gardens (right next to Balboa Lake), San Fernando Mission, Hansen Dam. Hope this helps!

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! We decided on Balboa Lake so maybe we'll go over to the Japanese Gardens as well. I didn't think of that!
