A Castaway Burbank Wedding: Jennifer and Bryan

Jennifer and Bryan paired a Catholic church ceremony with portraits at Walt Disney Concert Hall and a hillside reception at Castaway Burbank.

Jennifer Mier and Bryan Martinez planned a Los Angeles wedding with three visually distinct settings: a traditional Catholic church ceremony, portraits at Walt Disney Concert Hall, and a reception overlooking the hills at Castaway Burbank.

The route gave their gallery a balance of sacred architecture, modern city design, and open landscape.

A Traditional Catholic Ceremony

Jennifer and Bryan exchanged vows inside a dark wood sanctuary illuminated by stained glass and warm chandeliers. The long aisle and carved altar gave the ceremony a formal sense of scale.

Walt Disney Concert Hall Portraits

After the ceremony, the wedding party gathered around the sweeping metal curves and patterned doors of Walt Disney Concert Hall. The architecture created bold lines for group portraits and a refined neutral background for close photographs of Jennifer and Bryan.

A Hillside Reception at Castaway

Castaway Burbank opened the final part of the day to broad valley and mountain views. Jennifer and Bryan photographed on the terrace and hillside before joining their guests in the bright reception room for dinner and dancing.
