Redbird DTLA Wedding | Timeless, Stylish, and Joy-Filled Celebration

Downtown Los Angeles has no shortage of beautiful wedding venues, but Redbird offers a kind of magic that feels both classic and contemporary. For Bri and Jess, it was the perfect backdrop for a wedding that felt intentional, stylish, and deeply joyful. As Los Angeles wedding photographers who love documenting LGBTQ+ celebrations, this Redbird DTLA wedding was one we won’t forget.

Between the art deco architecture, the iconic staircase, and the quiet buzz of the city just outside, Redbird set the tone for a day that felt elevated without ever feeling stiff.

Getting Ready at the Conrad Hotel, DTLA

The day began at the Conrad Los Angeles, where Bri and Jess got ready separately, each surrounded by a small group of close friends. The atmosphere was calm and full of anticipation, the kind of quiet excitement that builds before everything begins.

The hotel’s clean lines and warm light created the perfect setting for portraits before their first look, a private, grounding moment that set the tone for the rest of the day.

A Redbird Wedding in Downtown Los Angeles

Located in one of LA’s most iconic architectural spaces, Redbird offered everything Bri and Jess were drawn to: art deco details, rich textures, and a timeless sense of place.

Some of our favorite photo spots included:

• The curved staircase, glowing in late afternoon light

• The historic elevator, which felt like stepping into another era

• The courtyard, filled with conversation, laughter, and clinking glasses

With just 54 guests and no bridal party, the celebration felt intimate but never quiet, a perfect balance of warmth, energy, and effortless style.

Bri + Jess

Bri and Jess’s dresses complemented each other beautifully. Two distinct styles that felt completely in harmony, just like them.

Their first dance to Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish was soft, unhurried, and deeply present. The entire day felt that way. No performance, no pressure. Just two people, surrounded by love, light, and the people who matter most.

As queer, lesbian wedding photographers based in Los Angeles, documenting weddings like Bri and Jess’s feels especially meaningful. Their Redbird wedding was a reminder that timeless design and joyful energy can exist side by side, and that the most powerful images often come from moments that are simply allowed to unfold.

We focus on capturing weddings as they actually feel, whether that’s a 200-person villa celebration or an intimate downtown dinner party. Our goal is always the same: to blend in quietly and document the day with care, honesty, and heart.

Valentine DTLA Wedding

Jamie + Nick

We loved being the photographers for this wedding at the Valentine DTLA. <3

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

Valentine DTLA Wedding | Fun, Lighthearted, Romantic Celebration

Located in the heart of the Arts District, Valentine DTLA is one of Los Angeles’ most unique wedding venues. With its natural greenery, dramatic architecture, and mix of historic and modern design, Valentine creates a space that feels both expansive and intimate at the same time.

For Jamie + Nick, Valentine was the perfect backdrop for their fun, lighthearted, and romantic wedding day.

Why Couples Love Valentine DTLA

Valentine is filled with character at every turn. The venue blends industrial textures, lush greenery, and stunning architectural details.

Jamie wore a gown from BB Bridal, while Nick kept it sharp and classic in The Black Tux. Together, they set the tone for a celebration that felt modern, stylish, and full of heart.

• Florals: Little Branch

• Coordinator: Emily Lynn

• Music: Second Song

• Catering: Woah Nelly

• First Dance Song: “Look at Where We Are” by Hot Chip

The reception was as vibrant as it was meaningful, with a guest list of about 150 friends and family ready to hit the dance floor. Between the laughter, the food, and the disco ball glow, the atmosphere was pure joy.

The couple first met in 2017 on the dating app The League, and have been inseparable ever since. They share a love for cooking, exploring new cuisines, and recently adopted a pup named Bean—who quickly became the center of their world.

Their photos reflect everything they value most: candid moments, timeless portraits, and a celebration of love surrounded by the people they hold closest.

As queer, lesbian wedding photographers based in Los Angeles, we’re proud to document weddings of all kinds—whether it’s queer love stories or simply couples who value authenticity and joy.

Valentine DTLA has become one of our favorite venues not just for its design and architecture, but for the way it lets love take center stage. From candid laughter to timeless portraits, it’s a space that feels endlessly inspiring.

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.
