It was the kind of day we photographers pray for. Above us the light filtered down softly and gently and below, the city of Los Angeles unraveled in swaths of gold and purple.

As it turned out, Laura and Mo are the kind of subjects we photographers pray for too. Their playfulness and sense of fun were absolutely infectious. As the shoot progressed, we discovered Mo is brimming with natural modeling ability. He also has mad skills as an art director and besides being very adorable; Laura can rock a pair of Louboutins like you wouldn’t believe.

As we were photographing, the day just kept getting more and more gorgeous. The observatory was aglow with yummy golden light but I don’t think Laura and Mo even noticed – they only had eyes for each other.
