Alex & Robert’s Wedding

(The Standard Hotel Sunset)

Alex was with all of her bridesmaids and some key family members getting ready at the Mondrian hotel off of sunset and Robert and his men were getting ready just blocks away at the Standard. Getting ready pictures at these two locations is like a dream for me, it allows my visual creativity to expand and then eventually explode into fragments on these photos.

After getting ready shots, we moved over to Boulavard 3 for the ceremony and then the reception. Never thought I would have photographed a wedding at a dance club, but it was perfect, unique and totally told a story of who was getting married. So perfect!

Alex and Robert own a dance studio in Signall hill (“Elevation Studios”) so a good portion of their friends were dancers, it made for some wildness on the dance floor, as well as a few dance offs that would steal the show at any other party.

Hope you enjoy these images. I LOVED shooting this wedding with some highlights including: Heather and Eric in attendance, Vern Moen shooting video (very talented videographer) Nicole Pietrini, Nic Leyba,Eric & Lauren Trickett,Jeantel, Meeting Linda and seeing Gary Jones, it was just a great evening and a perfect day.
