Our friends at Top Event Planning brought us in to work with their couple Phuong and Stephen. With an office and tasting area in Downtown Los Angeles, more and more event planners are realizing that we can accommodate all of the catering needs for their clients. And y’all, Bre + Eric’s wedding was so dang fun there’s no doubt in my mind that everyone in attendance had a real good time.Our presence in Los Angeles for weddings and events is on the rise. My goal is always to help my clients feel comfortable in front of the camera on their day so they can ENJOY IT. I love what I do, and the best compliment someone could ever give me is a glowing review on not only the end result, but on how they FELT during the wedding day.
HOUDINI ESTATE LA PROFESSIONAL
On the day of, Morgan was punctual, professional yet comforting and relaxed, and FUN! We love Morgan!” Ummm excuse me while I PRINT THIS and hang it above my desk. Prior to the wedding she was super responsive and provided great insight into the timeline. We were looking for a photographer with a documentary/photojournalism style and were so happy with our photos. It was a magical Los Angeles wedding and I loved every second of it!Īfter the wedding, Breanna wrote me this incredible 5-star review on The Knot: “We couldn’t have been happier with Morgan. The crowd grooved and cheered long after the sun went down on Los Angeles to timeless 90’s classics. The bride changed into a short dress from Lulu’s, perfect for dancing on a warm summer night, and her bridesmaids changed into dresses and rompers as well. Then the dancefloor opened and it had so much energy! Guests were swing dancing and even waltzing on the Houdini lawn dancefloor. Funny story: Susan + Brett, whose wedding wedding I photographed earlier this year, had the same first dance song!!! I can’t deny- it’s romantic, upbeat and SO catchy which isn’t super common in so many “first dance” songs. They danced to Alabama Shakes’ song “I Found You,” followed by a father-daughter dance and a mother-son dance. Bre + Eric got up for their first dance, and HOLY MOLY Y’ALL - it was seriously impressive.
Toasts followed dinner which are always some of my favorite moments. ( Click here to see another wedding with tacos!) Soooo delicious, for real. Taco Chihuahua served super fresh, entirely authentic Mexican tacos for a true SoCal twist on wedding catering, which I LOVED.
The couple made their grand entrance and toasted the guests + people that made this gorgeous day possible. Guests sipped cocktails and horchata from Taco Chihuahua. The large wooden tables were crafted by Breanna’s dad and they looked incredible! Eric’s mom did the florals for each table and I think they added such a beautiful pop of color to the reception! Bistro lights hung above the dancefloor. Guests went to the outdoor Houdini Estate reception lawn, down a brick ramp inlaid with black handcuffs (in classic Houdini style). Friends and family had traveled thousands of miles to celebrate, so they wanted to spend every possible moment with them! We squeezed in a few moments of portraits at the end of cocktail hour. I love playing around with veil shots - check out this wedding for more bridal veil inspo! By doing as many photos beforehand as possible, they were able to enjoy cocktail hour.
Spending lots of time with guests was a high priority for Bre + Eric. The last line of Breanna’s vows really got me, quoting Ben Harper’s song “Forever” “cause not a day less will do.” Her brother officiated, which incorporated some traditional elements but was largely made up of custom vows by the bride and groom.
The wedding party made its way down the aisle to a solo violinist before Bre + her dad, but at the last moment Bre’s Hayley Paige veil flew off! Luckily, this badass bride wasn’t the least bit rattled by this and continued on. The wedding ceremony at the Houdini Estate was held on the mansion’s beautifully designed mosaic driveway. Eric wore a suit from The Rack.Īfter their first look, we took a few portraits around the estate and then took wedding party and family photos before the ceremony began.
HOUDINI ESTATE LA ZIP
Meanwhile, Bre’s mom helped her zip her dress downstairs! Once Eric was in position, I guided Bre to the spot and captured the magic as it unfolded. Bre wore a dress and veil by Hayley Paige and shoes from Betsey Johnson. The groomsmen took a quick dip in the pool beforehand - the same pool Houdini himself practiced his infamous underwater tricks! A crazy, totally Houdini-feeling moment was when Eric decided he needed a knife to elongate a button hole on his shirt… without taking it off - there was a little tension in the room as the groom had a kitchen knife pointed towards his abdomen just moments before the first look. Bre + Eric both got ready at the estate - Eric and the groomsmen upstairs in Houdini’s living room, and Bre and the bridesmaids downstairs.
