    My Fiance & I are taking our engagement pictures on January 15th and we don't have our location(s) picked out yet... HELP!  We are looking for a hotel with modern/contemporary decor inside as well as a modern outdoor area.  We are starting the session at the photographer's studio in downtown orange, so a place in orange county would be best! I DON'T want to do the typical beach engagement pictures!!! (not that there is anything wrong with pictures on the beach... they just aren't ME)... And I'm not exactly a picture in the park type of girl... so i am looking for a modern place to take our pics!Our wedding will be at [seven-degrees], so that might give you a little insight as to what our "style" is. Would it be weird if we took our engagement pics at our wedding venue? :-)

    I can't think of any in Orange County.. my FI took really great modern E pics of his friends in Palm Springs at some cool hotels. Not sure if thats too far. Otherwise LA or SD may have more options. Most nice hotels that I can think of in OC are on the beach, but they could have different walls or decor inside that could work?

    Down in Costa Mesa off of Anton, there is a AMAZING hidden rock garden between a bunch of office buildings (behind the TGI Fridays, 601 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa).  That would be a super neat place for some funky, modern pictures.

    I will advise to re-think or call the marketing department to obtain a 'permit'. I wanted an e-session feeling like Aria (LV resort & hotel) commercial in LA area. With my photographer's advise, I called all the hotel's marketing dept if I can have my e-session at their hotel. They all said "No" because, they have other wedding/photo and/or commercial shoot.

    Since I really wanted that 'feel/look', our photographer took us to a hotel in downtown LA and started to take pictures. Soon after, security guard came and ask us to leave the property...

    this is the link to Aria

    Good luck!
