Eva and Alvin's engagement photographs at Pasadena City Hall begin with the pair standing beneath a deep arch, framed by the broad steps and pale columns.
Their white clothing and dark trousers carry through the opening portraits. The setting stays recognizable as the photographs move from the entrance to a balustrade beside the greenery.
The first image leaves room around the couple, showing the height of the entrance and the tiled paving at their feet.
The darker space behind them creates a clear border around their light clothing.
A wider seated portrait includes the railing, paving and trees beyond it. The following photograph moves closer to their faces.
Together, these frames show how the same architectural background can support both a full portrait and a tighter view.
Dreamwood's original engagement portfolio identifies Pasadena City Hall in Pasadena, California.
