I was really good friends with Cindy back in middle school.  We used to hang out after school while our parents were at work.  We loved Sanrio and had quite the collection - which I still have!  After middle school, we lost touch.  We went to seperate high schools and that was that.

Fifteen years later, Cindy finds me during her wedding planning!  It was so crazy when we first met up.  We chatted as if no time was lost, but we were fifteen years older than the last time we saw each other.  It is so nice to reconnect with old friends!

It was so great to see that Cindy and Andy found each other.  They are such a perfect match.  We started our adventure at Union Station.  We walked by this cool tunnel and I just had to get a shot in there.

Then we went underground to get a photo in the subway… and that’s when we got kicked out for not having a permit.  Dang, and we just got started too!  Anyone know how much it is for a permit to shoot there?  Well, good thing I was able to snap this one before we got caught!  :D  Totally worth it.

On our way out, Andy found a newspaper and took a little break. 

They are so so cute.  This next photo is totally candid and not posed at all.  Isn’t it adorable how they sit in unison too?  I swear they sat down and crossed their legs at the same time, totally unaware!

And I love how her feet/legs alone shows how into him she is.

Since our fun was cut short at Union Station, we headed over to nearby Walt Disney Concert Hall to continue.   I love how they look like they’re on top of the world.  I’m sure that’s how they feel when they’re together.

It’s interesting trying to find light in the middle of downtown LA.  All the tall buildings tend to block the sun.  The reflective walls at the concert hall though both block the sun, as well as reflects it.  So it was fun walking around searching for that light.

I like how they’re both in this bend.  It’s analogous to successful relationships - both sides must bend… and bend together. 

And I just love that natural sparkle in her eyes.  I am so happy to see that my childhood friend is all grown up and found true love!  Congrats and I can’t wait for your wedding in February!

Stay tuned for part 2 of their engagement session!  Part 2 is casual and fun.
