Wedding Description
Hillary and Chris aren’t cookie cutter wedding clients. Chris, a writer, wrote incredibly touching vows and asked friends to read poetry during the ceremony. Hillary, an artist, created the artwork displayed on the screen behind the DJ, and asked friends to make her cake and provide flowers. She didn’t even know what the cake or flowers would look like until she arrived at the venue! The venue is in downtown LA, nestled within a courtyard landscaped in succulents.
