Beverly Hilton Wedding
A Beverly Hilton Wedding That Left Me Speechless
I've photographed a lot of weddings, but walking into the Beverly Hilton ballroom for this celebration was something else entirely. Wedding planner Edgar Hay had outdone himself – the space looked like it belonged in a movie.
The first thing that hit me was the lighting. Crystals hung everywhere, catching the light and throwing these gorgeous, soft reflections across the room. It wasn't over-the-top glitzy – just perfectly elegant. The tables were dressed in these beautiful silk linens, and honestly, each centerpiece could have been in a museum.
What really got me were the flowers. Fresh blooms in the most incredible colors, arranged so they seemed to spill naturally across the tables. You could smell their fragrance as soon as you walked in. Edgar has this way of making everything look effortless, even though I know the planning behind it was anything but.
But here's the thing about weddings – all the beautiful details in the world don't matter if you can't feel the love in the room. And this celebration had it in spades. I spent the evening chasing those quiet moments between the couple, the way guests burst into laughter during toasts, the tears during the ceremony. That's the real magic.
Working at a venue like the Beverly Hilton with a planner like Edgar makes my job both easier and harder. Easier because everything is so beautifully set up. Harder because there's almost too much beauty to capture – you want to photograph everything.
I've learned that luxury isn't just about expensive things. It's about the thought behind every detail, the way everything comes together to tell a story. Edgar gets that. He doesn't just plan events; he creates experiences that feel authentic to each couple.
Every wedding I photograph teaches me something new about love, about celebration, about what matters most to people on one of the biggest days of their lives. This Beverly Hilton wedding reminded me why I fell in love with wedding photography in the first place – it's not just about pretty pictures. It's about preserving the feeling of a day that will never come again.
If you're planning your own celebration and want someone who understands that your wedding is about so much more than just the photos, let's talk. I'd love to help tell your story.
