WESTERN RITE CATHOLIC WEDDING AT ST. MICHAEL’S ORTHODOX CHURCH IN LOS ANGELES WITH A CELEBRATION LIKE THE WEDDING AT CANA.
Autumn and David met at church and were solidly “church friends.” After about a year the two developed a closer friendship and ended up road-tripping home for Christmas in 2018 together (Autumn to Colorado and then David further to Iowa). The two had a great trip talking non-stop the entire time. Soon after they started dating and say it’s been a wonderful journey ever since. I was overjoyed to be included in their Western Rite Catholic Wedding.
I really love these flat-lay photos with the image of the Wedding at Cana. These two truly just wanted to celebrate with their loved ones and have a joyful day. Autumn told me her overall goal of her wedding day was for people to feel like she was welcoming them into her home, and I just love that 🥹
Anybody else massively obsessed with Autumn’s dress hanging next to the icon?? The outdoor area at St. Michael’s is absolutely to die for and this couple decorated it so simply and beautifully.
An emotional first look preceded these two walking down the aisle together in their gorgeous little California church.
Autumn & David’s Western Rite Catholic Wedding was at St. Michael’s Orthodox Church in California. A western rite parish with a liturgy similar to the traditional Latin mass but in English.
Also how pretty is this lace on Autumn’s wedding veil?? It’s such a pretty pattern & texure ✨
After finishing up portraits with everyone, Autumn and David had their grand entrance into their wedding reception. A huge, enchanting patio for the elegant, colorful reception with sweet guests ready to cover them in love.
So a gorgeous reception space (that’s not even a venue just part of the church patio), a cool car, AND this sunset? The Lord is so good to us.
Sometimes I don’t want to leave dances because the fun is at an all time high, like when this groom grabbed a box fan and held it up over everyone’s heads 💀
CONGRATULATIONS AUTUMN & DAVID!!
