Downtown LA: Everson Royce Bar Brunch Wedding

“When you know, you know. And sometimes when you know, you’re just ready to do the dang thing already! Kaitlin + Lars had been together for almost 10 years when they decided to celebrate their union with friends + family! They called up Holly at Anything But Gray Events to help them plan the event, not only in just 19 days but also from afar—this Aussie couple wanted to get married in LA!” - Green Wedding Shoes

“We hired Holly 19 days before the wedding. I had picked Everson Royce Bar when I was in LA a month before the wedding, but Holly got everything locked down with the venue, sent us three possible photographers, two options for florists, and one make-up artist. That allowed us to make decisions quickly, and trust that everyone was an outstanding professional who would be able to deliver. Holly really kept us on schedule and was realistic about what was possible and what was going to either be more stress or more money than it was worth. She also helped Lars organize a surprise ice cream truck for me!

Maybe you’re thinking what we were thinking: HOW on earth did they pull it off?! We decided to get some intel from Holly herself and she shared 5 things to remember when you’re planning a wedding in a month or less! Read on to see how K + L’s day played out, thanks to photos from Aurelia D’Amore Photography, as well as helpful tips from Anything But Gray Events!” - Kaitlin & Lars

Review on The Knot

“Aurelia was so easy to work with! She described herself as a 'butterfly with a camera' and as promised - she managed to flit around our wedding and capture a ton of shots without ever feeling invasive or in the way - and yet was always right there when I wanted to get a specific person or shot. Our venue was in downtown LA, and she knew right away some great places to get some shots of us before the wedding that would have a fun/funky vibe. She really was able to strike the balance between making it beautiful, and keeping it true to us. We were very lucky Aurelia was available on short notice, and was able to hop on a call across several timezones to put us at our ease about how she would work on the day. Very easy to talk to, and also very professional - she made sure we had thought through who we wanted to have pictures with so that she could make sure she had those in addition to the more journalistic photos we really wanted. She did some additional scouting of the location to make sure that we would be able to accommodate limited mobility issues in my family and ensured everyone was comfortable. She was creative in using the venue and props available to get some really unique detail shots. She kept things fun and a bit silly, which was great to help us relax and be more natural in front of the camera. I'm so happy to have such great shots from our day and recommend her highly! “
