Wedding at The York Manor Los Angeles

Stefania contacted me almost a year and a half ago in search of a photographer for their wedding at The York Manor Los Angeles. I remember meeting with Stefania and Conor over FaceTime back when I was living in Pittsburgh. They told me about their love story, how it started as just friends, and how they finally realized that their feelings were stronger for each other than they thought.

They started planning their wedding well in advance, which helped since their wedding required a bit more logistics. Stefania is from Romania, and Conor is from Ireland, they had a traditional ceremony in Romania with friends and family, another party in Ireland near Conor’s childhood home, and a final celebration back in the US. That’s where I came into the picture (no pun intended). Since they already had their legal ceremony completed, this was really just a big, awesome party.

Getting Ready

The day started at a cute little AirBnB less than 5 minutes down the street from The York Manor. Stefania and her bridesmaids all wore cute, matching outfits with tropical green leaves. We got some photos of them hanging out and relaxing before the party began, although you could definitely tell that the party had already started when we got there. Everyone was so relaxed and having fun just hanging out.

Stefania was glowing, her hair and makeup looked stunning, and you could instantly see how happy she was. She was so at ease and laid back, nothing could’ve put her in a bad mood. Nothing went wrong, but if anything did, I’m sure she would’ve just laughed it off.

The Party

We all walked (actually I drove the 30 second drive) to The York Manor. Once there we took some Vogue inspired photos of the ladies around the property, some of the guys, and then some of just Stefania and Conor. Then the real party began. There was dancing, and laughing, and more dancing, and more laughing. They served a variety of finger foods (which is super convenient for a photographer btw), and an assortment of tasty little desserts.
