Luxe Hotel Wedding Sunset Blvd Los Angeles | Wedding Photography

Leaving my comfort zone behind the Orange County curtain I ventured into Los Angeles again and found myself photographing the wedding of Elena and Michael at the Luxe Hotel on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles! A stones throw from Beverly Hills, this is a very cozy boutique hotel with lots of lounging going on. My kind of place!

They only do one wedding per day at the Luxe Hotel on Sunset Blvd so you never feel like the coorindating is spread to thin. Also, not going to run into any other brides or photographers ;) Here is our groom working it on the runway . . .

Guys shot courtest of my 2nd photographer Lawrence from Furious Photographers.

I spent alot of time taking pictures in this hallway, the light was SO great . . .


The ceremony site at the Luxe Hotel is secluded and semi-private. It runs right alongside the main ballroom and also to a lounging area where the guests will socialize for the cocktail hour.

These cool little frames were a gift for each guest. Inside each frame was the information for reception seating as well . . .

I have to show some sweet shots of the reception room. It is VERY contemporary, and the custom lighting gave the room a very elegant feel. As usual, each table had a vase on it filled with flowers - BUT on top of each vase was lampshade!! So cool! . . .

Yes, you can bet these things ended up on some heads later in the night . . .


Back to the hallway . . .

I have always been inpsired by the wedding photography of Joe Buissink, and even more recently Lara Porzak. The following two pictures are my mediocre attempt to duplicate some of the richness and wonder that I find in their photographs . . .



Thank you Elena and Michael for inviting my team to your wedding day. It was a wonderful experience in Los Angeles at the Luxe Hotel Sunset Blvd and your vision for the reception room turned out fantastic! Happy HONEYMOON!!!!
