There’s something magical about wedding at the Natural History Museum of L.A. that blends history and love — and Hannah & Omri pulled it off effortlessly with their stunning wedding. This venue is not your average ballroom. Think timeless architecture, golden-hour light pouring through vintage windows, and romantic vibes that make you feel like you stepped into another era — but with better music and even better energy.
As a Los Angeles wedding photographer, I’ve shot weddings all over SoCal, but the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles always brings something extra. It’s rich with stories, textures, and little pockets of light that make every photo feel like it belongs in a gallery.
From the second I arrived, I knew this wedding was going to hit differently. Hannah got ready in one of the museum’s quiet, softly lit rooms — elegant, calm, and surrounded by vintage details. She wore a sleek, modern dress that contrasted beautifully with the old-world charm of the venue. Her fiancé looked equally sharp in a tailored suit that gave James Bond energy (but like, in love).
The ceremony? Unreal. Guests sat under towering ceilings while the couple exchanged vows in front of a backdrop that looked like it was pulled from a movie set. Every angle, every glance — it was chef’s kiss. The acoustics inside the museum gave the ceremony this immersive, cinematic feel that made the “I do’s” hit even harder. Marketa events outdid herself with the beautiful details and the color scheme.
Afterward, we snuck away for portraits. The museum’s hidden corners, dramatic staircases, and classic architecture gave us a dreamy mix of editorial and documentary-style photos. (My favorite kind — candid but elevated.)
Their reception flipped the script in the best way—string lights, cocktails flowing, and a dance floor that stayed packed all night. There’s something so cool about celebrating love in a space that holds so much history. It felt like they were adding their own story to the museum walls.
If you’re dreaming of a historic LA wedding venue that’s got character, elegance, and endless photo ops, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles should definitely be on your radar. It’s a gem that combines old-school charm with modern romance — and it photographs like a dream.
I’m beyond grateful Hannah and Omri trusted me to capture their day if you’re planning your wedding in Los Angeles and want photos that feel natural, elegant, and uniquely you, let’s make it happen.
