Joanna & Alan | A True L.A. Wedding

The blog-a-thon continues!

I love shooting in Downtown Los Angeles.  Sure there’s lots of traffic.  But I love it when we get to shoot in locations that remind me of how cool L.A. is. Joanna and Alan’s wedding was one of those days.

Location #1: The Standard Hotel. After Joanna opened up the door for us, I scanned the room and thought: This place was made for rock stars. The guest rooms looked like they were designed for partying not sleeping. Strangest piece of furniture: The bathroom had a giant foot statue (and for you LOST fans, it was almost big enough for someone to live in. Just kidding). We also got a quick shot on the legendary rooftop lounge before security told us to move on. Wow… a breathtaking 360 degree view of Downtown L.A.!

Location #2: St. Brendan Catholic Church. Still my favorite church to shoot in in all of SoCal. I could have swam in the rose petals laid out in the center aisle! Beautiful.

Location #3: The Bank (and Neon Museum). Very L.A. chic. Whoever thought of converting an old bank lobby into an art museum/event venue is genius. Very, very cool.

This was the first wedding shoot after my “new daddy” hiatus and it was so much fun to be back. Thank you Joanna and Alan for a memorable wedding! You guys rocked the dance floor.

PS - Check out (500) Days of Summer for very cool L.A. cinematography. One of my favorite movies of the year.
