Millwick Wedding in Downtown Los Angeles | Richelle + Brian
Richelle and Brian’s wedding at Millwick was urban, warm, and deeply intentional. Set in the heart of DTLA, their celebration blended natural light, lush greenery, and the unmistakable energy of the city, creating a day that felt both grounded and expansive.
As Los Angeles wedding photographers, Millwick is a venue we love returning to. It offers a rare balance of industrial character and softness, giving couples space to celebrate in a way that feels expressive without feeling staged.
A Love Story That Crossed Cities
Richelle and Brian’s story spans continents, from London to Los Angeles, and that sense of movement and connection carried through the entire day. Although they live abroad, Los Angeles has always held a meaningful place in their relationship, making Millwick the perfect setting to gather family and friends in a city they both love.
Their wedding felt less like a production and more like a reunion, full of warmth, laughter, and people genuinely happy to be together.
Why Millwick Works So Well for DTLA Weddings
Millwick is tucked into downtown Los Angeles but feels like its own world. Exposed brick, layered textures, and climbing greenery soften the industrial elements, while the open courtyard allows the day to flow naturally from ceremony to celebration.
The light moves beautifully through the space, making it ideal for candid moments, movement, and images that feel alive rather than overly polished. It’s especially well-suited for couples who want an urban wedding that still feels intimate and inviting.
A Day Built Around Real Moments
Richelle and Brian wanted their photos to reflect how the day actually felt, relaxed, joyful, and full of connection. Rather than heavy posing, we focused on documenting:
Natural interactions between guests
The emotional arc of the ceremony
Laughter and movement as the night unfolded
Quiet moments in between the big ones
From heartfelt vows to emotional speeches and spontaneous dance-offs, every part of the day carried genuine energy.
