Couple session · Los Angeles
In short
Couple session in Los Angeles starts at $325: 90 min on location with a photographer who works in Los Angeles, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 48–72 hours.
Why choose Couple session in Los Angeles?
A couple session in Los Angeles is a 90-minute shoot across two locations within walking distance that delivers 40 retouched photographs, priced from $325. It suits the anniversary, the just-moved-here and the no-reason session, and Los Angeles gives couples an unusual choice of mood within one metro: a hillside neighborhood, a downtown street or a cove on the Orange County coast. Walking distance is the rule that makes 90 minutes work here, because a single freeway leg between two spots can eat a third of the session. The coast sessions go to the last 90 minutes before sunset; the city sessions work in the soft morning hours too.
Worth knowing about Los Angeles
The City of Laguna Beach requires a Professional Still Photo Permit for posed portrait sessions on its public property, priced at $100 for two hours plus $50 for each extra hour, applied for at least two business days ahead. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend the city issues that permit only for 7:30am to 10am or 6pm to sunset, so a summer couple session there is booked into one of those two windows.

FAQ — Couple session in Los Angeles
Do we need a permit for couple photos in Laguna Beach?
Yes. The City of Laguna Beach requires a Professional Still Photo Permit for portrait sessions such as engagement, wedding and family shoots on public property, at $100 for two hours with two business days’ notice. A 90-minute couple session fits inside the two-hour permit, and from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend it must run 7:30am–10am or 6pm–sunset.
How do we choose between the coast and the city for a Los Angeles couple session?
By the hour you can make. A Los Angeles couple session on the coast needs the last 90 minutes before sunset, which on a weekday means leaving work early; a session in Silver Lake or Little Tokyo works at 8am or at dusk alike. Both deliver 40 retouched photographs, and the two locations are always kept within walking distance of each other.
