DIY Los Angeles Wedding at HNYPT – Caitlyn & Daniel
What happens when 2 creative people, in this case, graphic designers, fall in love and get married? They design their own wedding, of course! From the overall design, to the invitations, to the seating cards, selecting the dinnerware, everything was designed by both Caitlyn and Daniel! Nothing was left out! Armed with their skills and a bunch of loyal friends, they were able to put together a classy wedding with hints of Bohemian and Asian accents throughout the overall design. Daniel built the arch / wooden structure, in front of which they said their vows. Caitlyn, even, personally designed the cake topper and baked the cake herself! It was oh so yummy! This wedding had a little bit of everything! It even had their actor friends act out poems about how the couple met and fell in love.
And the cool, chic venue for their DIY wedding was HNYPT, a cool urban open space in downtown Los Angeles.
What do you think? Did Caitlyn & Daniel pull off the DIY wedding?

Carol & Alex’s Portraits – Pasadena City Hall
The one thing you can plan for but never control in a wedding is the weather. You can have contingency plans for rain with tents or alternate indoor location, but what if a hurricane or major storm is heading your way? What should you do? It’s a tough and potentially very costly decision. Hopefully, your venues have a heart and flexibility and will allow you to move your wedding date, within reason. Carol and Alex, unfortunately, had this exact experience. And as a result, they had some issues with with original wedding photographer.
So months after their wedding, while I was on a trip to Los Angeles, for another wedding, I had the opportunity to brighten things up for Carol & Alex and we did a portrait sensation, wedding dress, tux and all at the Pasadena City Hall. The City Hall was an amazing location! Beautiful building! The only challenge was that it was pretty busy. The City Hall, apparently, is a very popular location for local photographers, as well. Either way, we made the most of it and made some great photos. What do you think?
