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.

Catering: Hungry Bear
