Picture Location Recs - San Gabriel Valley

Does anyone know of a place with a modern feel that is in the San Gabriel Valley to take pictures? I don’t want to go to a park.

TIA!

is downtown pasadena too far?

Somewhat…my ceremony is in Rowland heights and reception is in Whittier. I would like to stay within the area.

oh ok sorry - i thought it was for your e-pics.. woops!

so you want a "street scene" in the background?? 

yeah about...more modernish feel.

how about the buddhist temple in hacienda heights? verrry cool archectural place. or how about the pacific palms resort with a view of the valley? its off of azusa in hacienda heights i think.

ditto WM.  DH and I took post wedding photos @ Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights. 

Good luck!!!

awesome! thanks! Very helpful.

Check out the Pacific Palms Resort off Azusa since you'd be in Rowland Heights.

Here's a photographer's blog about scouting out locations at the Palms:
