A Los Angeles Zoo Wedding: Jennifer and David
Jennifer and David paired a Catholic ceremony at St. Clare of Assisi with colorful portraits and an animal-filled celebration at the Los Angeles Zoo.
Jennifer Hernandez and David Rasmussen began their wedding day at St. Clare of Assisi Roman Catholic Church before continuing the celebration at the Los Angeles Zoo. Their gallery combines the tradition of a church ceremony with the color, greenery, and wildlife of an unmistakably personal reception setting.
Bright florals and tropical orange accents connected both parts of the day.
Portraits Before the Ceremony
Jennifer and David chose a first look near the church, using the arched entryways and shaded exterior as a simple architectural backdrop. The moment gave them time together before family and friends arrived for the ceremony.
A mix of wide frames and close reactions kept the sequence both grounded and emotional.
A Catholic Wedding Ceremony
The long center aisle and colorful church lighting created a strong sense of place as Jennifer walked toward David. During the ceremony, close photographs captured the vows while wider views preserved the scale of the sanctuary.
The bright wedding flowers stood out against the warm wood and neutral interior.
Wedding Portraits at the Los Angeles Zoo
At the zoo, shaded paths and dense greenery gave the portraits an entirely different atmosphere. The couple paused near the exhibits for photographs with an elephant in the background, then joined an owl encounter that made the experience feel even more distinctive.
Those moments turned the venue itself into part of the wedding story rather than a generic backdrop.
