The last time I saw Michelle and Eric, we were shooting their engagement portraits at Disneyland. You might recognize them from the blog, or their images on the my main site. I travelled to Los Angeles for the wedding at the Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles in October.

The Park Plaza Hotel hasn’t really been open for business for decades, but becase it’s such a cool building and so wonderfully preserved, it’s very popular as a set for the motion picture industry. It’s really something to have a building like this all to yourself for a wedding! Michelle and Eric put together a very special evening for everybody with a great mix of nostalgia, history, and promise for the future all at once.

All the tables were named after films that used the Park Plaza Hotel as a set!

Michelle and Eric surprised everybody with their dance. They had rehearsed it for weeks and it was definitely worth it. Everybody loved the dance and they looked so great out there, using up the whole floor from corner to corner.

It was dark outside by the time the ceremony was over, so we took a few minutes to go outside and shoot around the lobby while everybody was dancing the night away.
