Judah + Amy >> Married

We probably couldn't come up with a better wedding or couple to kick off our LA wedding season even if we thought really long and hard about it. Judah + Amy knew they wanted to celebrate their wedding in a way that was completely unique to them, but could not have been more laid back about it. Perfect.

They both are really (like really, really) into each other and really into living life to the seams, and their wedding was a perfect reflection of both. The day started at the historic and beautiful Wilshire Boulevard Temple and ended at the light-drenched and eclectic Sunny Spot in Venice. It all went down so beautifully, and we have the pictures to prove it.

A thing that we've been really into doing lately is surprising our couples with a wedding film if we have the manpower and time to give that to them. Luckily for us, my very talented baby sister wunderkind Megan was in Los Angeles during Judah + Amy's wedding and was able to stealthily shoot video for us all day.  A video that makes me grin hard and clasp my hands tightly under my chin of their wedding day can be found right below these words and right above their photos.

Thanks, Judah + Amy, for choosing us to capture your perfect wedding. We hope you love these photos and this wedding film as much as we do! Mazel tov!
