THE Beverly Hills Hotel Wedding
Ashley & Phillip
Weddings at The Beverly Hills Hotel feel like stepping into a dream. The hotel has a rich history and an old Hollywood charm that's truly captivating. Sunlight filters through the palm trees, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. When Ashley and Phillip chose this iconic spot for their wedding, I knew it would be memorable—and it really was! Each moment was filled with grace and sophistication, overflowing with love that resonated with everyone there. The air buzzed with joy and meaningful moments, making it a day everyone treasured.
The day started with the little things—the invites, the rings shoes and those fresh white roses. I always warm up by taking photos of sentimental details and sweet getting-ready moments before everything starts. Ashley and Phillip’s invites were super classic, featuring soft calligraphy representing all the good stuff that was about to happen. Simple, but really meaningful.
The Details: The Little Things Matter
In his suite, Phillip was getting ready with his dad and brother. The room had a laid-back vibe—more chill than anything, with excitement sprinkled in, but mostly good vibes. His dad helped him adjust his cufflinks, and they shared a look for a moment. No words are needed. Those quiet moments are the best—the ones that really show what weddings are all about. Phillip looked dapper in his black tux, and the red rose on his lapel brought in just the right splash of color.
Chill Moments with His Dad and Brother
Phillip
Ashley wanted a calm morning, and that’s exactly what she had. No rushing, no crowd—just her, her mom, and her sister. She sat quietly as her makeup artist applied the final touches, holding a small compact mirror in her hands. Her sleek, dark hair was adorned with delicate star-like embellishments that shimmered in the light.
Then came the dress. A stunning Milla Nova gown covered in intricate beading with a long, flowing train. The second she stood up, she looked like a queen. It wasn’t just about the dress—it was the way she carried herself, calm and completely in the moment.
Poised and Radiant
Ashley
The garden was breathtaking—white roses everywhere, a grand floral arch, and golden sunlight filtering through the trees. Guests turned in their seats as Ashley walked down the aisle. Phillip’s eyes said everything. That moment when a groom sees his bride for the first time never gets old.
They exchanged vows, raw and heartfelt. Then came the kiss—strong, deep, and full of emotion. It was the kind of kiss that said everything, that made the guests cheer even louder. And just like that, they were husband and wife.
The Ceremony: Like a Movie
After the ceremony, we captured Ashley and Phillip in some of the most stunning spots around the hotel. We started outside under the famous Beverly Hills Hotel sign. Phillip pulled Ashley in close, resting his forehead against hers. The way they held onto each other told you they were soaking in the moment. She gripped her bouquet behind her back while he held her tightly, never wanting to let go.
Iconic Backdrops and Intimate moments
Of course, we had to take photos by the iconic red carpet entrance. Ashley’s shimmering gown trailed behind her as Phillip took her hand and led her up the steps. They shared a look full of excitement, knowing they were stepping into their new life together. Every corner of this place has a story, and we ensured their love story was part of it.
Then, we moved inside to the grand staircase. Ashley’s dress trailed behind her as she stepped toward Phillip, who reached for her hand. The chandeliers above cast a golden glow over the entire scene, making the moment feel as if it were straight out of a classic Hollywood romance.
These weren’t just photos—they were genuine moments. Brief pauses in the day where they could simply be with each other, soaking in the excitement before the celebration truly began.
Classic
Hollywood Romance
Ashley and Phillip had their first dance under the soft glow of chandeliers. They held each other close, moving slowly, lost in their own world. Then, Ashley changed into a stunning ballroom gown, and we took more portraits, capturing the elegance of the evening. The warm lights, the luxurious decor, and the joy on their faces made every shot feel like a timeless piece of art.
Outside, we took a few final portraits near the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel neon sign. The soft red glow surrounded them as they held each other close, the night air filled with laughter and quiet moments of love.
A Day to Remember
The ballroom glowed with candlelight, soft pink feather centerpieces, and a black-and-white checkered dance floor. The sweetheart table overflowed with white roses, creating a warm, elegant, and timeless atmosphere.
Ashley and Phillip’s wedding wasn’t just beautiful—it was about sophisticated love, beauty, family, and those small in-between moments that matter most. That’s why I love capturing weddings like this. Long after the night ends, the photos will take them back to this day, to these moments, to this love.
