Republique Wedding | Romantic Dinner Party Vibes in Los Angeles
We’re more behind-the-camera than behind-the-keyboard people, so we let AI help us put some words together for this one:
Some weddings are elegant, some are fun—but this Republique wedding in Los Angeles managed to be both. With its romantic, moody aesthetic and the couple’s focus on food and hospitality, the day felt more like an unforgettable dinner party than a traditional wedding.
As LGBTQ wedding photographers in Los Angeles, we’re passionate about documenting all love stories. We proudly specialize in inclusive, LGBTQ+ weddings across Los Angeles. For us, representation matters—and venues like Republique create the perfect backdrop for celebrating all kinds of love.
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
Attire: Alexandra Grecco gown + veil, Christian Dior shoes, custom suit
Rings: Custom engagement ring + Brilliant Earth wedding bands
Vibe: Romantic, moody, warm, fun, and dinner-party inspired
Why Couples Love Republique for Weddings

A romantic, moody wedding aesthetic
Architectural photo backdrops unlike any other in LA
A venue where food and hospitality shine
