Ilyssa & Alex {The Getty} . Couple Portraits .

I love being a morning person,  I woke up before the sun did this Friday to go photograph a couple portrait session at the Getty Museum in Los Angels.

I am a born and raised southern California girl, and I have never been to the Getty Museum!  Well thanks to Ilyssa & Alex that all changed today.  It was Alex's birthday and Ilyssa was surprising him with a trip to the Getty and a 5 star lunch.  I might steal that idea, even just to get myself back there.

Ilyssa has the most beautiful eyes, smile, and hair (so long and she recently cut it 8 inches, wow!).  It was really nice to get them both together at such a beautiful place even though the Getty is a little strict with what they will allow camera / equipment wise. Alex has these stunning light blue eyes ... and with most fair eyes they were very sensitive so I tried to keep him comfortable.  Not to many 'stare into the sun' &'blind you with the reflector' shots.





Ilyssa showed me their matching pair of shoes that she got for Alex when they first started dating, so naturally we had to have a few detail shots of these lovingly aged shoes.


UPDATE 4/5/10 - NOTE TO PHOTOGRAPHERS:
Just a note to let you know that commercial photography is not allowed at the Getty Center without advance written permission.  We are unable to allow wedding, engagement, or other similar commercial photography at all, due to the overwhelming demand we receive, and the disruption it creates for visitors.  Thank you.
