5 /5 Anatoliy Kim: If youre reading this review, maybe youre considering Pasadena City Hall for an engagement or pre-wedding photoshoot. Well, youre looking at a great spot! Its stunning architecture provides a timeless and elegant backdrop for any shoot.
As a wedding photographer and videographer, Ive had the privilege of coming here many times to capture beautiful moments. My wife and I are a husband-and-wife team, and when we got married, we actually did our engagement shoot here, too!
One couple we worked with had their first look here in the morning on their wedding day, and there were plenty of private areas to exchange their private vows. Other times, weve come here for pre-wedding/engagement shoots, and every time, we find creative ways to utilize the variety of areas here -- there are so many options!
One thing that stands out is the garden and fountain in the center, surrounded by majestic pillars. The steps are also wide and long, which makes for some intimate yet grand drone footage (for both photo and video).
Parking is very easy to find, just outside the venue. On some days, there might be multiple shoots happening, but it hasnt been an issue for us before to avoid any groups of people.
Clearly, we love this venue, as weve gotten our own photoshoot done here for our wedding, but even from a professional photographer/videographers perspective, you cant go wrong with having your shoot here! Highly recommend.
