Photos from a Wedding at the Kyoto Grand

As you can see from these photographs, it was beautiful, sunny day and the bride and groom enjoyed a picturesque setting for their wedding ceremony in our garden. After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a delectable sampling of mixed hors d’oeurves and cocktails, while the couple went off and used the downtown Los Angeles setting as the backdrop for some very impressive photographs. See how they turned Weller Court, Little Tokyo and other downtown LA locations as settings for their photographs at www.nextexitphotography.com.

When they returned, the garden became the setting for a beautiful outdoor reception. Dinner and cocktails in the garden, while dancing was moved indoors to create an expanded reception and allowing guests to have room to spread out and take in all the day had to offer.  The diverse crowd enjoyed the entertaining toast from the groom and a good laugh watching the couple take their first dance together. At the end of the evening,  everyone was getting into the festivities and a good time was had by all.
