Clients turned close friends Yanin & Oli live in the UK, but make time to visit Los Angeles every year to spend time with friends and visiting their favorite restaurants and shops. They planned to celebrate their wedding in Los Angeles in the year-that-must-not-be-named, but plans changed and they eloped in a courthouse in their hometown instead. We still celebrated them and I got to photograph their intimate dinner in Hollywood.
They got ready to see each other in their fancy wedding attire at Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood. I love when brides and grooms opt to get ready in the same space because they get to spend more time together, laugh, and make room for memorable and intimate moments that otherwise would not be shared if staying somewhere separately. After shooting some portraits, we headed to an industrial space where their friends waited for them to celebrate an intimate Moroccan dinner in a chic, moody setting scented by Jo Malone candles.
