This wedding took place at a private residence of a childhood family friend. Everything about this wedding was about being with family and friends. They had special toasts, so much dancing, and wonderful friends. This wedding embodies love, and the two were intentional about being in the moment. The bride and groom work in the arts in LA and made sure that they played a role in their wedding. There were many, many special moments captured as this was very important to them.
Our March 2020 wedding was postponed five days before we were going to walk down the aisle, and moved around a couple of times before settling a year later. We’d been through the wringer like so many other couples, but it brought us closer together, and we appreciate what this day meant so much more. As we were getting ready for the big day, a sinking feeling hit us when it started to rain. Cue Alanis Morissette. After all, we’d gone through, you had to be kidding. Our host and the groomsmen were squeegeeing the tables and dance floor and we snuck in our first look pics during breaks from the raindrops. The wedding procession began, and as George Harrison’s guitar began to ring out the first notes of “Here Comes The Sun,” and Lauren came into view in her stunning dress, the sunshine broke through the clouds like something out of the movies. Our wedding had to have that last flair for the dramatic before its final epic act. We had to limit the guest list to immediate family and wedding parties so the crew celebrating with us was the true all-star team and they brought the energy and love of a hundreds. Lauren’s incredible eye had come to life in the details on the long table that sat everyone with a gorgeous color palette of wildflowers, vintage ornate glassware, glowing long candlesticks, and hand-painted menus.
It was the Chateau garden party of dreams. The feast, speeches and great conversation was full of laughs, joy and happy tears and our first dance to Van Morrison “Into The Mystic” was the sweet start to a wild night on the dancefloor. Ben’s playlist for the DJ and the flowing palomas and margaritas had the whole crew boogying under the moonlight for hours. We made sure to take small moments just for us throughout the day and night to take it all in and love on each other - realizing this was truly the greatest love we shared and best day in our lives.
