The minute we arrived at Talin’s parent’s house we started dancing and we didn’t stop until the night was over. Mostly encouraged by her father Levon, who has more energy than several men half his age, Allison and I were swept up in the emotion and energy all night long! There are so many highlights below: her father’s first look, Mac’s Emmy, and all of the emotional dancing and ceremony shots. This wedding is such a perfect example of what we do: capturing the once-in-a-lifetime moments and creating beautiful and gorgeous portraiture that is the essence of our clients. Special thanks to our Associate Lauren for her amazing second shooting skills, and extra special thanks to Talin and Mac for inviting us along for the ride!

Carrie and Michael were married at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, the most perfect place for a couple who adore travel, all things vintage and each other. This was a really special wedding in that Carrie’s mom handmade many of the art-deco inspired details including the menus and table cards. She even made little train tickets for each guest’s place card, and then placed them all in a vintage suitcase. Super cool. Our favorite detail was the guest book, or shall we say, guest suitcase. Instead of writing a note in a book, the guests got to write their sentiments on a real vintage postcard, and place it in an old suitcase.

Other visual delights were Carrie and Michael’s vintage-inspired wedding dress and suit, the old Packard Super 8, and of course, our old friend: Union Station. Nowhere in Southern California is there a venue with this much character, history, grandiosity and visual appeal. A perfect place to be married for two people who cherish the past, and look forward to their future. Special Thanks to Alexandra Rembac of Sterling Engagements, Mariah Nicole of Mariah Nicole Makeup and Hair Artistry, Jeff from Union Station and Auntie Em’s Kitchen.

Allie and I have such a fondness for the traditions of all the different cultures we have seen and participated in over the last few years. Susan and Omid’s wedding was fantastic as they combined the traditions of the Persian and Armenian cultures. The  day started at Susan’s parent’s house for a traditional ceremony in which various members of one family ‘bribe’ the other family with money and desserts. They stole Susan’s shoes and held them for ransom, they threw money in the air, it was crazy!

The celebration didn’t stop there! I’ve said it before and I will say it again, no one dances longer,faster and has more fun than the Persian culture. It is a marathon of dancing and singing in which I always find myself dancing with everyone, camera in hand, snapping away while  jumping up and down. SO MUCH FUN!  (Those pictures will be in the next post.)

The wedding was at Vibiana, but before we got there, we stopped at Union Station to capture their wedding day portraiture.

I should stress that Susan and Omid, like 95% of our clients, decided to shoot their first look and wedding portraiture BEFORE the ceremony. This allows for much more time to craft our style of imagery -  photos like the ones you see below, are often the most cherished throughout our client’s lifetimes.
