Italian Inspired Engagement for Lovers

PreWedding in Los Angeles

Aleen & Anthony

A Look Into a Magnetic Love

How sweet does it sound to find your soulmate and begin planning your life together? These lovers have such a beautiful love and we can not get enough of their magnetic energy.

The love they share is so effortless, they are just full of so much excitement to begin their lives together as husband and wife, very soon!

This historic villa in Los Angeles was built in the early 1900’s and it is just stunning, wait until you hear the story of how it was built and the love story behind it.

For a couple who admires and appreciates travel, especially the romantic feels of Italy, we could not have imagined a more perfect venue to showcase their love.

Our bride to be wore three very different dresses, all that fit her style.

Our recommendation for your engagement session is always to choose one outfit that you feel like the best version of yourself in, one that is a bit elegant like a floor length gown, and one that you want to take a risk with.

“In 1924, prominent Los Angeles physician Dr. Walter Jarvis Barlow and his wife, Marion Brooks Barlow, began building their dream house in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains– the home that would eventually become the Villa del Sol d’Oro.”

“The 13 acre property with the villa was completed in 1928. The Villa is a two-thirds scale replica of the Villa Collazzi near Florence rumored to have been designed by Michelangelo.”

“During the time the family called this villa their home, it was one to host lavish parties, entertained guests from around the world, and enjoyed the seclusion the expansive property provided them.”
