Downtown LA Wedding

I am doing this wedding in a 2 Part Blog because the venues were simply fantastic! There are too many images I want to show so I will start with the first half of the wedding of Valorie and Kenneth recently wed in Downtown Los Angeles, and their reception followed in Beverly Hills. We started their "Getting Ready" pictures at the Fabulous JW Marriot LIVE right in the heart of Downtown LA. Their wedding happened to be the morning of the LA Marathon which was really cool walking to the hotel as the racers were running right by the hotel. The lobby of this hotel was perfect for the couples first glance. They wanted to see each other before the wedding so that they could get plenty of great romantics, and to allow the timeline to run a little smoother. It makes for a great wedding day when the couple see's each other ahead of time for more than one reason. Below you can also see that the bride was still full of tears while walking down the isle and the moment is not taken away from and still incredibly meaningful. This cute couple decided to not have a bridal party, which I have blogged about before, I simply LOVE it! It just seems like the day is more about the couple when there is no bridal party and is so much simpler and enjoyable for the couple. Enjoy this LA wedding and watch for part 2 of this blog which will showcase more romantics, details, and their gorgeous wedding reception at Lawry's in Beverly Hills. Joanna Chong with www.jsoiree-events.com did a fabulous job coordinating this wedding and she was fun and very easy and flexible to work with, she really took care of my assistant and I. Jay with the DJ Company will also be featured in the next blog!

I LOVE this lovely note from Valorie the bride below:

We quickly ran to snap a few city shots as the lino arrived before heading to the Ceremony!

It NEVER rains in LA! So Cool for once, and it is Good Luck!

The First Congregational Church of Los Angeles in an AMAZING church!

Walking down the isle is such an amazing experience in life. I LOVE her tears here even though she had already seen her groom, it is still such a special moment!
