Elysian Park Couple Session with a Classic Corvette

There’s something about Elysian Park that always makes me fall in love with photographing in Los Angeles all over again. It has this perfect mix of open roads, rolling hills, and golden light that feels soft and romantic, yet you can still catch glimpses of the city skyline in the distance. For this couple session, we decided to take things up a notch by bringing in a vintage Corvette, and it instantly transformed the shoot into something that felt bold, stylish, and cinematic.

I love when couples are open to adding personality into their photos. Elysian Park on its own is already stunning, it’s one of my go-to spots for couple photography because of the variety it offers. In one direction, you get sweeping views of Los Angeles; in another, you’ll find quiet winding roads lined with trees. It feels tucked away from the busy city while still giving that iconic skyline backdrop that makes the gallery uniquely “LA.” When you add a classic car into the mix, though, the whole session takes on a new life.

The Corvette brought such a fun, elevated vibe to this gallery. The couple laughed together in the front seat, leaned against the car as the sun dipped low, and snuck little moments of connection while the city glowed behind them. I loved playing with movement, having them step in and out of the car, brushing shoulders as they leaned back, or just letting them relax into the moment while the sleek lines of the Corvette framed them. The combination of soft golden light and the polished car gave every image a timeless yet modern feel.

Cars have a way of shifting the energy of a session. Instead of only standing in open space or moving through the park, suddenly you have this prop that invites playfulness, intimacy, and variety. The Corvette was the perfect match for this couple, giving their gallery that extra cinematic touch while still letting their connection shine through.

For anyone planning a couple session, engagement shoot, or anniversary photos in Los Angeles, the Corvette can be added onto your session for an additional fee. It’s one of my favorite ways to make a gallery feel unique and editorial, while also giving you something extra fun to experience during your shoot. Whether you’re drawn to the sleek, stylish look of a classic Corvette or just love the idea of making your photos stand out, this add-on is such a special way to elevate your session.

This Elysian Park session truly had the best of both worlds, the natural beauty of one of Los Angeles’ most iconic parks and the bold, stylish edge of a classic car. The result was a gallery that feels cinematic, romantic, and uniquely personal. If you’re dreaming of couple photos that go beyond the ordinary, Elysian Park with the Corvette might be the perfect choice.
