I photographed Nick and Katie’s wedding back in July. The event was so unique it was quickly picked up by the prominent wedding blog Southern California Bride. Katie and Nick wanted to give a period feel to their wedding. For their engagement session, they wanted a boardwalk empire feel, which tied into their Casablanca themed wedding. Many guests dressed up in clothing from the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s. Walking the red carpet into the ballroom you were instantly transformed into another era. It was a mix between Great Gatsby and Casablanca. The tables were complete with old fashion lamp posts and over sized vases with flowers and feathers, Rosemary Duff Florist really outdid herself. Casablanca played itself on the big screen in the ballroom. Outside the reception sat a beautiful, 1930s Roadster (“Isotta Fraschini 8a Flying Star” to be exact.) The bride wore a beautiful beaded fit and flare gown and the groom wore a searsucker suit, with cufflinks from his grandfather. Check out some of my favorite shots from this wedding and feel free to check out the feature on Southern California Bride!
