Engagement Shoot: Matt + Molly

Photography: VCS Photography

Photographer's Snippet:
A couple weeks ago Matt and Molly were kind enough to let me photograph them around LA. I wanted to do a fun shoot in less traditional wedding attire as well as try out some new locations. We hit a few spots I’ve know about for a while but never had the opportunity to shoot. One spot was Zanzabelle in Silver Lake, it’s a quirky and unusual place to say the least. They have odd gifts, ice cream and a lunch menu.

However, the best part is their unbelievable dinners on Friday and Saturday night. The menu changes every weekend and ranges from a gourmet cuban sandwich to a four course dinner. It’s so chill, like having dinner at someone’s house. Rach and I went with friends one night a couple weeks ago and this was our meal below.

Appetizer - Salmon Ceveche with a jicama slaw
Main Course - Hanger Steak with Spanish Chorizo wild rice cakes
Dessert - Cayenne Chocolate Moose with Almond infused ice cream topped with sea salt

It’s also BYOB, no corkage fee, so we had two nice bottles red wine and a bottle of Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection - Four Grain! That was an amazing meal for $22, no joke! They do not turn the tables so you can sit and chill until closing time around 11PM. They only seat about 20 people per night. If you go call ahead for the menu and make a reservation. Tell Matt I sent you!
