A wedding on a calm Thursday during the week. With 15 of the bride and groom’s closest family and friends, along with their two beautiful children. A small quiet garden tucked in the corner of LA’s prettiest nature. Colorful arrangements of blooms DIY-ed by the bride. A ceremony officiated by a friend. Refreshments of lemonade, champagne, and delicious little sandwiches.

I so so loved photographing this wedding. Because it is not about the fanciness and frills – because all kinds of weddings are beautiful, when it is about the love :)

Heather & Casey’s wedding was truly intimate – less than 15 guests, gathered on a calm day in the middle of the week, tucked away in the lush & quiet gardens of the Los Angeles River Center. A candlelit dinner at Hatfield’s followed, including the loveliest little cake from King’s Hawaiian. (My family has been doing cakes from King’s for birthdays/special occasions/non-special occasions since I was a kid so you can imagine my excitement! :)

I so love sweet and cozy weddings like these, and felt so honored to be a part of their day!
