Classic Weddings in Los Angeles — Light, Style, and Atmosphere

The city itself becomes part of your story.

Los Angeles gives us the perfect palette — the glow of the sunset, the elegance of old estates, the calm of ocean air.
Each location offers a new texture: cinematic rooftops, historic hotels, intimate courtyards, and modern architecture.

FAQs

We do. For any venue in Los Angeles (church, historic building, hotel, rooftop, etc.), we review the venue’s rules ahead of time — permit requirements, equipment limitations, lighting or flash restrictions, and access hours. If a permit is necessary, we take care of the application and any fees. This way you don’t have to worry about legalities or surprises — we make it seamless.
Yes. For every wedding we bring backup cameras, lenses, memory cards, batteries, and flashes. In case of illness or unexpected issues, we have a trusted network of vetted photographers/videographers in the LA area who can step in. We treat your wedding day as irreplaceable — preparation and contingency are part of our standard process.
After the wedding you get a full-resolution private online gallery — typically 400–600 images, depending on the flow and duration of the day. We don’t just hand over a few highlights. You’ll get comprehensive coverage: preparation, ceremony, portraits, details, and reception. This gives you the full story of your day, not just the highlight reel.
Our style is a balanced blend: we deliver classic, timeless portraits as well as candid, emotional documentary moments. We guide you gently for portraits (lighting, posture, composition), then switch to observational mode — capturing real reactions, moments between moments, and genuine interactions. This hybrid approach ensures both elegance and authenticity.
Photos are delivered within 6–8 weeks after the wedding. You receive high-resolution JPEGs, fully edited in our signature style (color, light, tone). If you’ve chosen video, expect a 4–10 minute cinematic edit within 8–10 weeks. All files come water‑mark free and ready for download, sharing, or printing.
Absolutely. LA weather can be unpredictable near coast or mountains. We always plan backup locations (indoor, covered, or alternative spots) in advance. If the schedule shifts — due to delays or weather — we adapt the timeline, focusing on light and mood. Our goal is to make sure you still get beautiful photos no matter what.
