Kenneth Hahn Lower Park in Culver City is a lovely, low-key spot for couples photos, as Lily and Adrianu2019s session shows: lush lawns, gentle shade and room to wander made for relaxed, natural images without crowds to work around.
For Lily and Adrian’s couples’ photography session we went to Kenneth Hahn Lower Park which is in Culver City. The Kenneth Hahn Park is gorgeous and has so many different photo opportunities – there is the Lower park which has a lake, there are wooden bridges, expansive grassy fields, and lastly the beautiful Kenneth Hahn View Point . We began our session near the View Point. The lookout gives you gorgeous views of downtown Los Angeles and the mountains behind it. You can even see the Hollywood sign from there, so if you are directionally challenged like me, you can use this it to figure out where other cities are.
In front of the Kenneth Hahn View Point there is a large grassy space with some beautiful trees and picnic tables. We started our session on the grassy area and eventually moved to the tables. Lily and Adrian are an adorable couple and play fought each other, which are some of my favorite photographs from the session. Not all couples can look so cute while “threatening” to punch each other.Â
I had Lily and Adrian boomerang each other toward me. They ended up dancing a little bit at the end of the movement. This created some adorable photos where they are smiling at each other, hair flying with each spin. These two will tell you that they are not photogenic, but in my eyes, they absolutely are, and you can’t tell me any different. These two clearly love each other so much!
After we finished up at the Kenneth Hahn View Point, we started walking back to the car. On the walk, I saw a magnificent view of the sunset from the golf course. The sun was peeking through between trees. Lily and Adrian followed me and took some gorgeous silhouettes. Is it just me or are photographs like this extra magical??
To finish off our session, we headed back down to the Kenneth Hahn Lower Park where there is a lake. We found a wooden bridge and set up shop here. Because the sun had mostly set now, the sky was littered with pink, red, and purple clouds. This made all of their photographs look absolutely magical. Because it was still winter (at least for LA) it was fairly cold. As any smart couple would, Lily and Adrian huddled together for warmth. Adrian lifted Lily up onto the bridge and they looked at each other with adoration in their eyes. You can’t tell me they are not absolutely adorable.
Kenneth Hahn Lower Park is fairly busy, but it is so massive that it is not hard to find a gorgeous, secluded spot. And it is an amazing spot for engagement or couples’ photography sessions because of the variety in backdrops built into the single location. We did not use them in this session, but around the lake are cute benches that can be integrated into your couples’ session. If given the opportunity, I would love to do another couples’ session at Kenneth Hahn Lower Park!!
