Amanda & San's Courtyard Monterey Park Wedding Photos

April 18, 2026 · Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Monterey Park

A Courtyard Monterey Park Wedding in Monterey Park

Amanda and San met on Coffee Meets Bagel, and on weekends you will find them trying new restaurants or watching anime together. They share a secret language and nicknames no one else understands, plus a song they both sing, Henry Lau's “It's You.” They married on April 18, 2026 at Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Monterey Park, with bridesmaids in light blue and a spring bouquet of pink, peach, yellow, lilac and white. They shared a first look and private vows on the hotel's outdoor terrace, said their vows there in front of the people who shaped them, then celebrated at Capital Seafood. You can also see their Pasadena City Hall engagement session. Here are their Courtyard Monterey Park wedding photos, captured by One and Only Production.

Getting Ready at Courtyard Monterey Park

Amanda got ready with her bridesmaids in matching blue robes, her off-the-shoulder gown hanging by the window and her spring bouquet waiting on the chair. Her details included His and Hers vow books, a double happiness invitation and rings in a pink ring box.

San and His Groomsmen

San got ready with his groomsmen Johnson, Bailey and Kevin, handing out gift bags and helping each other with bow ties and jackets. Then they lined up in their black tuxedos for a few portraits, which quickly turned playful.

A First Look and Private Vows on the Terrace

Amanda wanted plenty of first look photos since they planned to share private vows there too. San waited by the stone wall on the outdoor terrace, turned around to find Amanda in her gown and veil. Then they each read from their vow books, just the two of them.

Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

Amanda's bridesmaids, Monica, Deborah and Summer, wore light blue and carried pastel bouquets, while San's groomsmen matched him in black tuxedos. We gathered everyone against the stone wall on the terrace for classic shots and a few playful ones.

Portraits at Courtyard Monterey Park

Amanda asked for natural poses, close-up details and her gown and bouquet front and center, so we moved between the terrace, the railing above the palm trees and a bright window for her cathedral veil. Under the veil, they got a quiet moment together before guests arrived.

Ceremony on the Terrace

The ceremony was set on the same terrace, with gold chairs facing the stone wall and spring florals by Creative Floral Designs. San could not stop smiling as Amanda came down the aisle, and after a dip for their first kiss, they walked back up the aisle as Mr. and Mrs. to cheers from their guests.

Family and Friends

Being in the same room with all their loved ones was what Amanda and San looked forward to most. We started with Amanda's grandpa and both families, then aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, and finished with a big group photo on the terrace before everyone headed to Capital Seafood.
