Westin Pasadena Wedding | Mika + Jordan
Mika and Jordan’s Westin Pasadena wedding was full of meaningful tradition, easy laughter, and colorful, joy-filled details. Their celebration blended classic style with playful touches, and the result was a day that felt effortlessly personal.
THEIR ENGAGEMENT: A sunset engagement session at Pasadena City Hall.
Wedding Photography at the Westin Pasadena
The Westin Pasadena offers an ideal combination of elegance and convenience, with spacious suites, a tranquil courtyard, and just a stones throw from Pasadena City Hall (one of the most popular spots in Los Angeles for portrait photography).
Westin Pasadena Wedding | Getting Ready
Mika and Jordan each got ready in separate suites at the Westin Pasadena, surrounded by their wedding parties.
A First Look in the Courtyard | Southern California Wedding Photographers
Before the guests arrived, Mika and Jordan shared a first look in the hotel’s courtyard. It was a sweet, grounding moment for the two of them to reconnect before the celebration got underway.
Signing the Ketubah | Jewish Wedding Ceremony
Prior to the main ceremony, the couple gathered with close family and friends to sign the ketubah—a traditional Jewish marriage contract. This private moment holds deep spiritual and cultural significance and marks the beginning of their union.
Outdoor Wedding Ceremony at the Westin Pasadena
Their ceremony took place in the courtyard of the Westin Pasadena under a floral-draped huppah, the traditional canopy symbolizing the home that the couple will build together.
