I know I’ve been saying “blah, blah, blah Our Labor of Love Photography” of late, but I can not help myself. They shoot such amazing weddings. And how could I not share this with you. The wedding took place at Union Station in LA, the very place I would want to have a luxe wedding, if I were having one. History, style, urban chic, all rolled into one.
Beck & Margaux sent this description out in their invitations:
“after hours of rhetorical wrangling and wrestling, we remain uncomfortable with nearly all of the language commonly used to describe these kind of events. none of the usual choices accurately describe our relationship as we imagine it. ‘marriage’ suggests a state-sanctioned institution (and it makes margaux feel extremely queasy). ‘commitment ceremony’ has become nearly as institutional in tone (and it makes beck think of sterile medical facilities). we cannot say that we are simply ‘celebrating our love,’ since we intend this event to create something as much as it describes something already existing. So, in the absence of any acceptable language, we chose simply to call this event ‘the twenty-first day of the month,’ a title which, as luck would have it, also marks the anniversary of our first date.”
And then in the middle of the party they announced that, they had gotten married after all!
Hooray! And Hooray for California!
Plus, there were hula hoops! Ahhh!!!
I’m only showing you a few pictures, because you need to go check out the whole story here.

That is so cool how they announced they did actually get married. And I loved the dancing caterers :)

This makes me remember how cool, fun, artistic and original people in L.A. can be, and how much awesome stuff is there.

p.s. I once got stuck for hours drinking in a bar at Union Station, and the bartender had a huge tattoo on his forearm written in script that said “Frank Sinatra is an Asshole.” :)

Leigh Ann – No way! And I agree with you about LA. This is the side of LA visitors don’t see, but is great.
