We saw a big move towards more classic styles in 2011 and I think we’ll see even more of a surge in the weddings of 2012. This Los Angeles beauty by J. Shipley Photography is a picture-perfect example of a fresh approach to a timeless look with a sleek art deco vibe. Black, white and metallic is a color combo that is always going to be chic and sophisticated and this is by no means an exception to that rule. Adding just a touch of beige brings a soft, romantic feel to the entire day that has us melting. All the details are stunning and swoon-worthy to the max. See them all in the full gallery!






From J. Shipley Photography… Amanda + James’ wedding was one of most timeless, sophisticated, intimate and downright gorgeous weddings I’ve photographed. Between the classic Tuxedos and bowties, the chic metallic color palette, the breathtaking artitecture of the church, the intimacy & coziness of the Club, and those stunning floral designs, Amanda created a memorable event that was truly elegant and beautiful. And beyond that, Amanda + James’ friends and family were all delightful, sweet and fun and a joy to spend the day with.

Love, love, love these pictures! Interesting, sophisticated, and glamorous... Everything a wedding should be.
What a beautiful wedding! I get so excited when I see Orthodox weddings on stylemepretty...the ceremony is truly beautiful, rooted deep in the history of Eastern Christianity and so full of meaning. The next time you feature an Orthodox wedding I suggest you guys highlight more of the ceremony and what goes on inside the church...Thank you for sharing
Way to go Jeff! Amazing as always. :)
