A VIBRANT MODERN VALENTINE DTLA WEDDING CELEBRATION
Angela and Louis met just before the pandemic in 2020. They took a chance, moved in together, and built something special amidst global uncertainty. On a night out in LA, Louis suggested that they get married, and the next day, they got engaged after hashing out their future on a hike in Griffith Park.
Their Valentine DTLA Wedding was a colorful affair, reflecting their eclectic tastes and personalities. Angela stunned in a custom lavender gown by DKL Couture, complemented by a vibrant bouquet. Louis rocked a purple suit, embodying his unique style.
Louis and Angela decided to get ready together. More and more of my couples are doing this, which might be one of my new favorite trends.

Their Valentine DTLA wedding ceremony took place in the intimate greenhouse courtyard, surrounded by lush greenery and tropical plants. One of their best friends, Jason, performed the ceremony. He did a fantastic job capturing the couple's essence while being funny and heartfelt at the same time.
Recessional
"Will You Promise" by Ebo Taylor
Since Louis and Angela started dating each year on Valentine’s Day, Louis would create a special playlist. The couple decided to use those songs for their ceremony and dinner music.
They also wanted to share their love with their friends and family, so they had a custom QR code on their ceremony program for their guests to enjoy the music after the wedding.
The reception featured minimalistic table settings with pops of color, handmade bougainvillea, and an extravagant floral display at the head table.

From the laughter to the tears of joy, the day was filled with the raw energy and spontaneity of Angela and Louis' love.
