A Classic Los Angeles Catholic Wedding

A classic Catholic wedding with a grand church ceremony, formal portraits, a vintage white car, and a purple-lit ballroom reception.

Cynthia's wedding day moved from a formal Catholic ceremony to architectural portraits and a polished ballroom celebration.

White and blush flowers softened the church setting, while a vintage car and the couple's monogram connected the portrait and reception details.

A Grand Catholic Ceremony

The long aisle, stained glass, and high arches gave the ceremony a strong sense of scale. After the vows, the couple exited to cheers before gathering with their wedding party on the church steps.

Formal Portraits and a Vintage Car

White arches and open terraces created a refined portrait setting after the ceremony. The couple also used a classic white car for photographs that echoed the traditional style of the day.

A Purple-Lit Ballroom Reception

The reception opened with a sweeping staircase portrait before the couple entered the ballroom. Purple uplighting, floral centerpieces, and a monogrammed dance floor set the scene for dinner and dancing.
