The couple tied the knot in a church ceremony, then moved this classic LA wedding reception to a private social club downtown. While the bridesmaids dresses and bouquets had purple hues, the reception area’s main decor color was white. Tables were draped with white linens and white centerpieces with pops of greenery. Formal place settings with the club’s crested china was perfectly set.

From the photographer: Leah and Arvin were one of the first couples to do a styled shoot for me when I first started my photography business. I always knew that they would get married but I was beyond thrilled and touched when they asked me to photograph their wedding.Their ceremony was at the beautiful St. Dominic’s church in Eagle Rock and their reception was at the really posh Jonathan Club in downtown Los Angeles. I love the décor and architecture of the Jonathan Club.
