Lesbian Wedding at Playa Studios in Culver City | Christie + Sabrina
Christie and Sabrina’s wedding at Playa Studios was relaxed, joyful, and full of heart. From the moment the day began, it was clear this wasn’t about tradition or performance, it was about celebrating love in a way that felt natural, fun, and entirely their own.
As Los Angeles wedding photographers, we’re always excited to return to venues that give couples the freedom to be themselves, and Playa Studios does exactly that.
Why Playa Studios Is Such a Special Wedding Venue
Playa Studios is a one-of-a-kind event space in Culver City, blending industrial character with modern simplicity. Originally a warehouse, the venue has been thoughtfully transformed into a light-filled, flexible space with high ceilings, exposed beams, and an open layout that encourages movement and connection.
Couples love Playa Studios because it works like a blank canvas while still offering visual interest throughout the space. From the mural wall and art-filled corners to lush plants and textured surfaces, every area offers something different without ever feeling busy or overdesigned.
It’s especially well-suited for couples who want a wedding that feels chill, creative, and personal rather than overly formal.
Christie + Sabrina
Christie and Sabrina described their wedding vibe as chill, fun, happy, and unapologetically gay, which perfectly matched both their personalities and the space they chose. They were drawn to Playa Studios for its simplicity, flexibility, and the variety of photo moments throughout the venue.
They got ready together, setting a calm and intimate tone for the day. That decision added a layer of ease and connection that carried through every part of the celebration.
Photographing a Day Built on Joy and Connection
Christie and Sabrina wanted a mix of candid, fun images alongside a few editorial and artsy moments. More than anything, they cared about documenting how the day felt, especially during the ceremony and the moments shared with their friends and family.
The result was a wedding day full of spontaneous movement. Dancing, twirling, laughter, and quiet moments of closeness unfolded naturally, giving the photos an energy that feels real and lived-in rather than posed.
Their first dance to Never My Love by The Association set a warm, nostalgic tone for the evening and flowed effortlessly into a night of celebration.
A Thoughtfully Chosen Vendor Team
The day came together seamlessly thanks to a vendor team that truly understood their vision:
Coordination: Pop the Champagne (Karla + Dani)
DJ: DJ Phatrick
Catering: Border Grill
Rings: Tiffany & Co.
Attire: Kirrin Finch
Shoes: Camper
Ties: Beau Ties of Vermont
