Los Angeles, California Wedding by Closer to Love Photography

I just adore this absolutely beautiful cultural wedding from Sammy & Natalia of Closer to Love Photography. Taira, the bride wore a gorgeous Pakistani wedding gown and stunning jewerly, and created a lot of elements for the wedding day and Andy looked very handsome in his suit. The florals and invitations? The bride created them both :) I hope you enjoy this wedding as much as I did!

From Closer to Love Photography:

We had the opportunity to capture the beautiful wedding of Taira and Andy. This wedding is particularly special to us because it was the first time we photographed a bride in a traditional Pakistani gown. Taira made a stunning bride and we couldn’t get enough of the intricate details that embodied her cultural heritage, especially the artistic henna patterns. Because Andy was not Pakistani, the wedding was culturally mixed. This allowed us to witness the joining of two totally different families, now becoming one. Because of the mixture of heritages, Taira and Andy decided to have a more Western take on their Wedding Day. Taira’s main inspiration was her Pakistani Wedding Gown. She admired all the beautiful colors her Gown exhibited and therefore had more creative flow when creating her DIY bouquet/floral arrangements and deciding on the design for her unique wedding wake. May this beautiful wedding with its ethereal color palette invoke creativity for every future bride! Wedding Bliss!
