Michael and Christina

Michael and Christina's wedding took place at the Cathedral, but Beauty For Ashes Photography had a one-stop trip at the Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown LA.



We were able to get a couple of images of the bride getting ready. She was actually calm, but her cell phone was by her the whole time.



The invtations and her wedding main color was pink, her favorite color, and had a modern style to it, but she chose a classy eternity band which signies her unity with Michael.




Going to the hotel or location where the bride is getting ready is not just to see what happens behind the scenes, but so important to see the details she picked to make her day complete. It could be the details on the dress, the shoes, or even the girls she hand picked to be in her wedding. You want to try to capture everything the bride loved as she picked them. She probably mentioned how she loved the laced flowers, or the style of the eternity band, or the way the shoes would look with the dress or even the height it would give her. Capturing the details is something I know I wanted, so it is important to know what the bride would want to see in her pictures.

Her dress was so unique because the tail was detachable. Since it was detachable, I wanted to show how small the dress was without it.



Although John usually has that eye for detail, I loved the simplicity of the back of the dress and had to take it.
