Cicada - Los Angeles, CA

Here are just a few of my favorites from Monica and Tony's wedding in Los Angeles. There are so many vintage images that I love from their wedding but I couldn't post them all on the blog so be sure to check out their teaser slideshow (click here). The song on the slideshow is something very special to Monica as she used to sing to her Dad when she was a kid. Tell me if you recognize the singer.Monica and Tony's wedding ceremony took place at Holy Family Catholic Church in Glendale (one of my favorite cities to live in) and their wedding reception was held at the magnificent Cicada ballroom in Downtown Los Angeles.
I can't say enough to describe the countless advantages there are to doing a first meeting (romantic portrait session before the ceremony). Let's just say we came out with some amazing images because we didn't have the time constraint or pressure during the photo shoot. We started Monica and Tony's first meeting at The Oviatt Penthouse in Los Angeles.

gorgeous cake was from my favorite bakery Porto's (seriously good sweets)
Jazz singer Max Vontaine made everyone gush over his stellar performance
and afterwards DJ BStang filled the dance floor with some killer mixes
