Laurel Canyon Cabin Engagement Session | Vanessa and Tony

Vanessa and Tony’s engagement session was an unforgettable experience at a one-of-a-kind rustic musician’s cabin in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. This charming 1940s cabin, originally built as a weekend hunting lodge, remains a testament to the quintessential Laurel Canyon aesthetic with timeless charm. The rustic design and bohemian vibes make it a perfect backdrop for this couple's engagement photos, and it's no surprise the cabin is a popular spot for fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle photo shoots. What I found extra special, was how the owner actually lives in the space with their children. We were treated to not only the rustic design, but sweet touches of a house lived and loved in.
