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

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

Republique isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. The dramatic arches and stonework give the venue the timeless feel of an old-world chapel, while the food (famous across LA) ensures your guests will never forget the night.

It’s ideal for couples looking for:

• A romantic, moody wedding aesthetic

• Architectural photo backdrops unlike any other in LA

• A venue where food and hospitality shine
