Millwick Wedding, Los Angeles: Ali + Suji

Urban DTLA Wedding at Millwick By Wedding Photographer Madison Ellis (81)

After shooting Ali and Suji’s engagement session, I knew their wedding day would be a dream. A week before their special day, I was notified that the Women’s March would be taking place at the same time in DTLA and there would be massive crowds and street closures.

Nope. This couldn’t be happening on their special day!?!!?

When the day finally came and I drove into downtown and walked into the bridal suite at the Doubletree hotel, and it was as if there was no one around. Opposite of what was supposed to happening downtown. It was calm and peaceful. When I walked into the bridal room, everyone was listening to music, chatting and getting ready with excitement.

Their day went flawlessly!! Millwick was the perfect setting to take portraits and have a big reception with a ton of natural light and greenery!! I love how they personalized and designed the details with great intention. Everything from the invite suite matching Millwick’s vibe perfectly to the custom candles & perfume bottles, to their escort magnets being in the shape of their favorite fur baby, Arthur the Corgi, to Sujis & Ali’s choice of florals, to the live band who had every generation out on the dance floor.

One of my favorite moments was looking around the room during the speeches. Seeing SO many smiles and laughs amongst family and friends was enough to know that Ali & Suji are deeply loved by so many! I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to start my 2018 wedding season with! Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding photographer. I am wishing you two the best on your journey as Husband & Wife!!

Thank you to Candice & the amazing creative team for creating an elegant and fun wedding day!!
