The Wedding Photos: They’re Here
17 August 2009 | by jen in Loved Ones, Vintage, Wedding Stuff
Just for the record, you’ll probably never see this many photos of me in one post! But I wanted to share a few of my favorites as well as ones in which you can see my dress (which is important, right?) And, of course, the elusive husband makes his debut.
Chloe Aftel is the photographer and she did a wonderful job, as you will see; I was so excited when she agreed to take them and I feel lucky to have such lovely wedding photos. (Sorry if these photos are huge for those of you with a slower connection or monitor resolution!)
I’m so glad that we went with a small (tiny) wedding. All things considered, everyone was relaxed (Yes, including me for the most part!). It felt really intimate and special even though this all took place at a public park, Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. Like Chloe said, it’s like Alice in Wonderland there! And without further ado…
Macaroons (including rose, my favorite) from a local French patisserie displayed on my grandparent’s wedding china and some vintage napkins:

In the living room before the ceremony:


The men:

The women:

The rest:






Edited to note: Oh, I amost forgot to mention that the six of us went to dinner immediately afterwards, back at Osteria Mozza (the place of the proposal!). It was delicious - best. wedding. food. ever.

Beautiful! You both look very happy and relaxed. Love the photography style. My very favorite being the picture where you are both hidden by the umbrella and 2nd the picture showing half a view of you walking! The lace on the dress is so feminine and pretty. The very best wishes to both of you!!

You are breathtaking! You look like a Princess, jen! The photos are wonderful and I love your beautiful dress…especially the back of it! My favorite photo is the one of the back with the sun and shadows and the one of you both behind the umbrella! So sweet! Everything looks picture perfect!

You look so great - I love that your dress isn’t a big foofy puff, and it looks perfect on you. Those shoes are such a lovely touch. Congratulations to the both of you!

You both look gorgeous! Your dress is fantastic, and I really love the idea of a simple and small wedding. That way the focus is on the couple and not the bigness of everything around them! Perfect.

Wow! You look so beautiful. I love your dress, and the shoes and flowers fit perfectly. Lovely! Oh, and the photographs are stunning.

Fabulous! My favorite is the one of you two at the fountain. That SMILE on your face-I miss seeing it so much-and the guffawing that most certainly occurred after! The photographer truly captured your joy in that moment.

These photos are so, SO beautiful! I wish I had photos like these to show for our wedding… but sadly that was before we got into photography and couldn’t afford a photographer either >_<
That’s awesome that your are Korean! It’s interesting to compare (although I shouldn’t) the similarities and differences we share both being Eurasian
