I’m Elili, an engagement photographer in Pasadena, Los Angeles. I love helping other people and as an engagement photographer, I have tons of engagement tips and tricks to share. Every week, on what I call Engagement & Boudoir Tips and Tricks Tuesday, I will post another blog post. These blog posts will encompass tricks I have learned being a Los Angeles Engagement Photographer. Tips range from engagement tips, proposal planning tips, romantic restaurants, boudoir session outfit suggestions, boudoir tips, suggestions for what to do with your photographs, and where to go in Los Angeles for a romantic date night.
If you have specific questions, do not hesitate to reach out! I love connected with newly engaged couples, individuals planning their proposal, and with women interested in Boudoir.
A boudoir session can be truly transformational and be part of your self-love journey. I have done boudoir myself and can speak to the experience.
