Mondays may not be fun, but this LA engagement shoot by Andrew Abajian sure is! Andrea and Micah explored different areas of the city together wearing outfits that not only embody Los Angeles, but are representative of their personalities as well. From a bold pink wall to palm-lined streets to the beach in Malibu, this stylish pair brought the glamour while Andrew Abajian snapped phenomenal shot after shot.
When a couple of photographers hire someone to capture their day, you know the images are bound to be amazing. When Brideen and Deci of Simple Tapestry brought on Paula O’Hara as their photographer, we knew we were going to see some of the loveliest images to date. Brideen and Deci’s Northern Irish wedding was filled with soft colors and personal touches, from the Star Wars cake toppers to the bride’s personalized photo postcard favors.
Simplicity was key for us – we tried to bring in various aspects of both our personalities from photography and music, to Lego and flowers. Hollie, our florist, created the most beautiful bouquets and table decor. Although we were having a city wedding, I wanted the flowers to be wild and unstructured with seasonal blackberries.
I’ve always loved BHLDN.com and didn’t want a traditional wedding dress, so I opted for a blush pink dress by Catherine Deane and ivory bridesmaid dresses.
The most important thing for us was to enjoy great music and delicious food in the company of our friends and family. It was a bonus that we got the most beautiful weather – a second summer in September.
The Moments:
Brideen: I loved when we finally sat down to enjoy our meal, seeing all our friends and family around us and having the sun shining all day!
Deci: It was all about the dance-floor. Joe and Emro, two DJ friends, were amazing – playing a mix of indie, hip hop, disco, grunge and 80s cheese… I’ve got great memories of hugging and moshing with practically everyone at the wedding.
The Couple Recommends:
We loved each and every one of our suppliers, we’ve been lucky to meet and become friends with so many talented people over the last few years, as wedding photographers. I would (and we always do) recommend all of them!
Paula, a friend and our photographer, did an amazing job – we love her and her work. She made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera and we loved the beautiful images she created. The wedding day went by so quickly that it’s great to have such an artful and personal reminder of it.
Gareth and all the staff at Deanes at Queens were superb. They couldn’t have been more helpful and lovely.
Congratulations to Brideen and Deci on their sweet Irish wedding! To see more of Paula O’Hara‘s truly inspired work, be sure to check out the Mystic Beach styled shoot.
MaríaPaz and Pablo planned a bright, natural wedding at Casa Club in Santiago, Chile! Pulling inspiration from the 1940s, the bride wore a birdcage veil and a simple, soft-white, tea length dress. Baby’s breath, yellow daisies, and blue confetti dressed the venue as the couple tied the knot. MILLADELPINO photography captured incredible photos of the couple, including some special moments spent away from the crowd.
The Couple:
MaríaPaz and Pablo
The Wedding:
Casa Club, Santiago, Chile
The Inspiration:
Our inspiration was the 40’s. Particularly, I always liked the vintage style and that style was the inspiration for the decoration and wardrobe. Another factor is the color, I love bright colors and I chose as the color palette, yellow, blue and white. Overall, I think the two factors resulted in a romantic and cheerful atmosphere.
The Moments:
It’s so hard to choose! I think it was the moment when I dared to sing to him in front of all the guests. I had prepared it, but I didn’t know if I was finally going to pull it through. It was a nice moment in which I put all my heart.
