We met Jon and Cheryl for their engagement session at Vista Hermosa Park in Los Angeles. They are such a friendly couple, full of smiles and the perfect match. Their Taiwanese parents knew what they were doing when they slyly set them up; placing them next to each other at an event table.

Located at the western gateway to Los Angeles, Vista Hermosa park offers lots of photography locations just minutes away. We started our shoot by snapping a few engagement photos in front of the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Next we found a graffiti wall close to the park that we had some fun with.  Jon and Cheryl were easy going and we loved capturing them when they were laughing together, which was often.  Cheryl has the cutest smile, it’s infectious.

Finally, we moved onto the main event—Vista Hermosa Park which means “beautiful view” in Spanish and that’s just what the park provides on a clear day. The park is known for its window to the downtown LA skyline and a strategically placed bench providing the perfect spot to take it all in.

Jon and Cheryl will be saying their vows at an intimate ceremony early next year. We are looking forward to meeting their family and seeing Cheryl walk down the aisle. there is no doubt Cheryl will be absolutely beautiful. We can’t wait to see the look on Jon’s face; or the special moment when the have their first kiss and Mr. and Mrs. Chiu. A kiss that will be even more special since they have decided to refrain from kissing until then. Something we’ve seen couples do before and is so sweet.
