After our “first look”, we had an hour or so to dedicate to posed portraits, but we didn’t end up using all of that time (I think… the day was a blur!). While posing for photos may not be my strong point, I absolutely love how these turned out. The portraits below are probably my favorite pictures from the day, and some of my favorite memories as well.

We started out sitting on some of the benches in the outdoor ceremony area. (By the way, does anyone remember this great shoe debate?! I ended up going with #5 but I took off my shoes for the first dance and kept them off for the rest of the night. I was a half barefoot, half yellow shoe bride!)

After our bench shots, we moved inside for some slightly more serious shots. Our venue had a well lit entrance way, so we stopped there for a few minutes…

… before moving to the front of the building for a few more. The Marvimon is on a super busy main street in Los Angeles, with a great view of downtown. The valet was setting up next to us, and everyone was smiling and joyous. It was so much fun. I loved the mural in the background, I loved the dirty sidewalk, I loved the cars racing by, I loved seeing the downtown skyline in the distance, I loved this moment.

I am so glad that we did all of these portraits before the ceremony. We were both relaxed, we had plenty of time before guests were scheduled to arrive, and we were able to have fun and play around together without a lot of people fighting for our attention.

Looking through all of these photos makes me want to break out my dress for a TTD session!
