June 20, 2018

Christina and David merged classic elegance with California ease as they were wed in the magnificent Vibiana. The combined events and performing arts venue boasts a stunning Archdiocese Catholic cathedral, main hall, and garden courtyard. The historic cathedral allowed the couple to indulge in a dramatic candlelit ceremony within the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. 

Film photographer Erich McVey artfully captured the most intimate moments of this bespoke black tie affair. We are enchanted with the intricacies of each wedding detail, from the gold gilded ceilings to individual hand-lettered place cards.

The bride made an incredible entrance with her father down the cathedral aisle. Her glistening, long veil trailed behind her as she walked toward the warm, glowing backdrop of countless pillar candles toward her husband-to-be.

Following the ceremony, both the bride and groom changed into their second outfit for outdoor photographs in in the warm California sun. Christina slipped into a stunning light blush strapless gown, and David switched out his classic black jacket for a statement all-white blazer. Their light ensemble drew attention to the pop of color in Christina's gorgeous bouquet designed by Kelly Oshiro
