Japanese Friendship Garden

This past winter I assisted PMA Photogrpahy with a tiny wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden. It was such a small wedding we weren’t booked for a very long day, however I snuck some getting ready and bouquet photos before our very impromptu first look. Little Rituals was closed (the bar inside the hotel they were getting ready at) so we had to rush to find another private space for them to greet each other for the first time. With a little rearranging and some curtain closing, AND some good flash timing we were able to capture them and their first look. Next stop was the Japanese Friendship Garden for vows and ceremony. The reception was at the Duce but since it was such a short wedding we didn’t cover much of the reception. All this to say, if you’re looking for a small intimate wedding and on a budget, I do those and I get great shots. Here’s a peek at their ceremony…
