Park Plaza Wedding Los Angeles | Rachel and Jimmy

December 19th, 2010

Walking into the Park Plaza in Los Angeles is like stepping into a historic Los Angeles. It’s so unique that, after the wedding, I couldn’t help but go home and research a bit more about it. The Classic LA icon, built in the 1920s by renowned architect Claud Beelman, has been the scene for dozens of movies, TV shows and commercials. The building is considered Neo-Gothic, with impressive decor, tall, high ceilings, and amazing columns. While much of its surrounding buildings have since been demolished since, this amazing building has undergone renovations to become a luxury hotel, while maintaining much of its original structure and charm.

Rachel and Jimmy made the wonderful decision to host their family and friends at the gorgeous venue for their wedding ceremony and wedding reception. Our photography team had an amazing time with Rachel, Jimmy and their guests. Their East Coast charm, humor, and sincerity filled the day with character, emotion, and fun. From the emotional, grand ceremony to the all-out partying during the reception, Rachel and Jimmy had a complete wedding, with a full range of emotion, beautiful classic and traditional moments, and a great time for all of the friends and family.

Special Thanks to the wonderful vendors of this wedding:
Wedding Coordinator – Amber Events
Officiant – Rabbi Sherre Hirsch
Videographers – Buckley Videography
Band – Dale Schatz Music
Florist – Designs by David
Hair Stylist – Aline Cholakian
Makeup Artist – Rebecca Netzel
Catering – Summit Event Catering

Island Hotel Newport Beach Wedding Slideshow | Adam and Desiree

March 16th, 2010

Congratulations to Desiree and Adam! We had an amazing time at their wedding, from start till end. The wedding was beautifully organized by our good friend and amazing planner Adina of Fleur de Lis Events and her great team of planners. One of the biggest blessing we have as wedding photographers in Southern California is the diversity of cultural weddings we are privileged to be a part of. This weekend, Adam and Desiree had a Jewish wedding with hundreds of guests and dozens of bridesmaids and groomsmen. The huge event drew people in from all around the globe, from the east coast to overseas; and the entire day was full of amazing moments. Congratulations Adam and Des, and we hope you enjoy the images.

Island Hotel Newport Beach Wedding Preparation | Adam and Desiree

March 16th, 2010

The day started with some preparation shots in one of the suites at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach. The girls were having a blast that morning; and while hanging out, one of the maids of honor started moving and grooving to the music playing the room. She started singing which inspired the rest to join in, making for some awesome pics. The fun continued as I would surprise the girls with a few “I gotcha” moments as their hair was all over the place. After going downstairs to the bridal suite, all the girls helped as Desiree got into her amazing rhinestone/crystal laced wedding dress.

Playing around with the door of the suite in the Island Hotel created some great opportunities to play with the mixed lighting of the rooms.

Desiree has gorgeous eyes and beautiful make up that created a great opportunity for the shot below.

Island Hotel Newport Beach Wedding Ceremony | Adam and Desiree

March 16th, 2010

Adam and Desiree’s wedding ceremony took place in a beautiful tent at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach. The decor was beautifully orchestrated by Adina Verdult of Fleur de Lis Events and their wonderful team of planners. The beautiful red roses adorned the aisles and the alter, while hundreds of candles around the room provided a tranquil, serene environment.

Desiree’s 11 bridesmaids were laughing one second, crying another, or even both at the same time during the ceremony at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach.

Island Hotel Newport Beach Wedding Reception | Adam and Desiree

March 16th, 2010

Even though the wedding was running a little behind, the guests were all having a great time at the reception. There were great speeches, poignant first dances, a fun cake cutting, and a countless number of timeless moments at this event. Besides the few images below, you can see more of it in the slideshow a few posts up.

After the most upbeat grand entrance I had ever seen, the couple went right into the Hora. As our bride and groom were lifted high into the air, we caught some great expressions.

During the reception, Adam and Desiree went through many Jewish wedding traditions, including the blessing and cutting of the bread, depicted below.
