Griffith Observatory Engagement Session

There’s no doubt that this couple works the camera. And there’s no doubt that Melvin Gilbert of Melvin Gilbert Photography knows how to work the camera… and the light and the couple and, well, the world. I can’t stop loving up on this engagement shoot.

The couple, Carin and Bobby, have such a cool sense of style that’s all theirs and they brought it to Griffith Observatory. They utilized all the nooks and crannies of the Observatory — from the art deco doors to the breathtaking views. They paired nicely with their surroundings, posing for romantic moments and playful mugs. No props needed. No zillions of outfit changes. Just two lovebirds and a perfect-for-them setting. When it comes to landmarks like this one tucked in the hills of Los Angeles, there’s no need to fight it. Just show up. Look good. Go with it.
