The View of LA at This Summer Solstice Wedding Is Killer

Early on in their wedding-planning process, couple Kyle and Natalia knew they wanted to have a Los Angeles wedding. They met in LA 10 years ago during their final semester in college, and they've always viewed the city as an extension of their relationship.

"We were looking to find an outdoor venue that felt unique yet also represented our laid-back vibe," Kyle and Natalia said. "Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, a public park in Culver City, had just opened a new area, and we would be the first couple to get married there. We were thrilled with the stunning views of the city both during the day and at night — Los Angeles would literally be the backdrop for our ceremony and reception!"

Kyle and Natalia DIYed everything, including the blankets their guests sat on. They relied on talented friends and family members to be part of the event for hair and makeup, flowers, decor projects, music, and even officiating.

"Having the involvement of those closest to us furthered the importance and intimacy of the event," Kyle and Natalia said.
