Millwick Wedding, Arts District

Vivi + Ninh

The amazing coordinator and Millwick site managers rescued a weak hummingbird from inside the venue and nursed it back to life until it was strong enough to fly off on its own. So sweet. There’s a photo of the little guy below. <3

Millwick Wedding | Elegant Tiki Celebration in Los Angeles Arts District

We’re more behind-the-camera than behind-the-keyboard people, so we let AI help us put some words together for this one:

No venue in Los Angeles strike the balance between urban edge and lush escape quite like Millwick in the Arts District. With its tropical greenery, mid-century touches, and modern open space, it’s no wonder it has become one of our favorite wedding venues in Los Angeles.

For Vivi + Ninh, Millwick set the stage for an elegant tiki-inspired celebration—a night that blended playful design, great food, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Millwick is known for its tropical, garden-meets-urban aesthetic. The towering plants, clean architectural lines, and natural light make it an ideal setting for couples.

One of our fav moments, the Marvimon site managers and the wedding coordinator rescued a weak hummingbird that had flown into the venue. They nurtured it carefully until it regained its strength and eventually flew back into the Los Angeles sky. That little story feels symbolic of what Millwick does best—creating a space where beauty, care, and magic happen all at once.

Vivi + Ninh envisioned their wedding as a stylish, modern spin on a tiki party—elevated design, warm hospitality, and a guest list of about 120–130 loved ones. The result was festive yet refined: a space filled with laughter, energy, and an atmosphere that encouraged everyone to truly enjoy the night.

Attire: Vivi wore a gown by Khaite, paired with modern details that matched Millwick’s contemporary backdrop.

Coordinator: Ingrid Yeh

Catering: Hungry Bear

Carondelet House Wedding | Playful Elegance for a Queer Non-Binary Couple in Los Angeles

There’s something magical about photographing queer weddings in Los Angeles, especially when the venue is as timeless as Carondelet House. Known for its vintage charm, brick walls, and intimate courtyards, Carondelet has become a favorite for couples who want their wedding to feel both elegant and relaxed.

For Kara and Alec, a non-binary couple, Carondelet House was the perfect backdrop for their “playful elegance” wedding style.

As LGBTQ wedding photographers in Los Angeles, we know how important representation is. Carondelet House is already stunning on its own—but when it’s filled with queer joy, vibrant design, and the kind of love that lights up a room? It becomes unforgettable.

A Love Story Rooted in Design, Music, and Art

Kara and Alec first met at a holiday party in 2014, reconnecting a few weeks later on New Year’s Eve. Fast forward to today, they live in Highland Park with their Cavalier pup, Elsie (an Aquarius, naturally). Kara works in interior design, Alec is a software engineer, and together they share a love for concerts, art, and creating spaces filled with beauty and joy.

They also had an engagement session with their dog, Elsie, you can see here, which perfectly captured their playful energy and love.

The Carondelet House: A Venue Made for Queer Love

Carondelet House is one of the most romantic wedding venues in Los Angeles—an early 20th century Italian villa turned urban hideaway. With its mix of exposed brick, hardwood floors, dramatic staircases, and hidden courtyards, it feels historic. Our faovrite part is that the guests who prefer an intimate conversation have their own beautiful corners to hangout in while others enjoy the dancefloor.

Together, these spaces created the perfect canvas for capturing the couple’s love story with vibrancy, joy, and authenticity.

The wedding aesthetic balanced sophistication with playfulness—colorful florals by Blush Flora, chic attire by Saint from Lovely Bride and Sharpe Suiting, and meaningful details like Kataoka jewelry.

With vendors like The Love Riot (coordination), Ashes & Shine, Tres LA Catering, and even tarot readings by Mischel’s Truth Tarot & Coaching, the day felt curated and deeply personal. They even had a reception glitter makeup station. This wasn’t a cookie-cutter wedding—it was a bold, vibrant expression of Kara and Alec’s personalities.

Why Carondelet House is Perfect for Queer Weddings

Carondelet’s vintage charm paired with modern inclusivity makes it a standout venue for LGBTQ couples. It offers:

• Architectural backdrops that elevate portraits into works of art.

• Intimate courtyards and atriums perfect for candid, playful moments.

• A timeless yet flexible atmosphere, ideal for both elegant and vibrant celebrations.

For queer couples, representation matters—and Carondelet feels like a space where your story belongs.

From NYC to LA: A Love Story

This couple lives in New York City, where we also photographed their NYC engagement session here. Their wedding brought them to the bride’s hometown in Los Angeles, where they gathered family and friends for a celebration that reflected their personalities perfectly: romantic, moody, warm, and fun.

Getting Ready at The Line Hotel

The day began at The Line Hotel in Koreatown, where the couple got ready and shared the first part of their portraits inside the hotel’s stunning rooftop greenhouse. With its glass walls, lush greenery, and golden LA light, the space created a cinematic start to their day.

Romantic & Moody Wedding at Republique

The ceremony and reception took place at Republique, one of Los Angeles’ most iconic restaurant wedding venues. Known for its stone arches and intricate tile work (almost chapel-like in appearance), Republique is both grand and intimate—a dream backdrop for couples who love moody, romantic architecture.

This couple leaned into the venue’s unique aesthetic, pairing it with lush florals by Little Branch, warm candlelight, and a vibe that was less about tradition and more about connection. They skipped some of the standard formalities, and instead focused on great food, great music, and great company.

Vendors who brought the vision to life:

• Coordinator: Pop the Champagne

• Florals: Little Branch

• Band: O & E

• Makeup: Colette Bécar

• Hair: Davide Dang

Wedding Style Details
