Nicole & Josh’s pop culture interfaith geek wedding

Comic book shoes, wholesale flowers, and a some geeky movie and TV references… this is our kind of geeky LA party. Add in the cool venue, the donuts, and the Star Wars centerpieces and it’s on like Donkey Kong. Oh, and don’t miss the groom’s hilarious swan dive into his groomsmen!

Jess & Mac’s LEGO-tastic museum wedding

A local waterworks museum is a pretty rad venue for a LEGO-themed wedding like this. This pair loves engineering, color, and having a grand time building with LEGO. They may have been concerned that their guests wouldn’t jive with the theme, but boy were those fears unfounded. You’ll want to see how they incorporated LEGO into their cake, their ceremony, and even their shoes. Just watch out for the bride’s grandma… she’s feisty!

Harmony & Judah’s ’60s mod math and science wedding

The groom’s polka-dotted shirt, the science-themed temporary tattoos, the giant chalkboard wall full of Feynman Lectures, the astronaut ice cream favors, the bride’s retro dress — these are a few of my favorite things. Ground control to Major Tom: commencing countdown, engines on. Liftoff and see this science and 1960s mod wonderland of a wedding!
