Elissa and Richie selected an unusual location for their Jewish wedding. Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles is a decommissioned Catholic Church. It was heavily damaged in the famous Northridge Earthquake in 1994 and sat idle for quite some time. Eventually an investor came in, purchased property and rebuilt it for special events.

With rain in the forecast, we were all a bit on edge in the days leading to Ashley and Jeff’s wedding. Everything worked beautifully, however, and we had a great day of photography with blue skies and just the right amount of puffy clouds. Photography started at the Culver Hotel in Culver City. It’s a neat old place built in 1924 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Danielle, or Dani, as everyone called her, had her Bat Mitzvah service at Valley Beth Shalom, in Encino, California. After her torah was chanted and aliyah performed, it was off to The Regency Club in West Los Angeles. Cindy Hassel or SRO Events handled decor, while Billy from H2H Entertainment kept the guests partying all night long. Also, Steve from Vidicam Productions made an awesome montage that was the talk of the party. Mazel Tov Dani!
