It’s a black AND white party!

This past Saturday, I attended a birthday celebration for Tricia from Tricia Nicole Events.  She is a Wedding and Event planner here in Los Angeles and happens to be the wedding planner for Lauren and David, a couple I shot a few months back.  You can see their mini-engagement session here. I have been working closely with Tricia over the last few months, so when she asked me to shoot her birthday party, I couldn’t help but say yes!  Most people have heard of a white party, but this was a black AND white party! Woo hoo.

As you walked in, you could see the attention to details was definitely present. Tricia is amazing; if you need a great wedding or event planner, be sure to give her a call, she is awesome!  Her touches for this birthday celebration were just phenomenal and everything went so smoothly. Some of the details included:

  • buckets of black and white feather boas
  • white candles of all sizes filling each room with gorgeous warm light
  • white top hats, black glittery hats and black leather newsboys caps
  • very cool white shades that looked like window blinds
  • mini disco globes
  • a black and white candy bar
  • and more!!!

The catering was amazing and Warren from Crepe Chalet was just fabulous. The crepe bar was a huge hit and I have to admit to having a couple creations made by Warren throughout the night.:-)Simply delicious. The night was filled laughter, joy, dancing, great food and some tasty beverages.:-) Here are some photos of the birthday party celebration. It was great to be apart of such a festive event in celebration of Tricia’s birthday and the joyous holiday season. Despite the big down pour of rain, her friends and loved ones came to represent, it was a big success.

I tried to stay with the black & white theme by posting mostly black and white images, but there were a few that just had to be in color! Check out the birthday party photography…

These cookies were given to Tricia from her husband Jeff. Each cookie had a saying on it, so adorable!  You can see here it reads: Happy Birthday my: glorious, fascinating, elegant, funny, wife. I love you so much!

I loved the photos of Tricia and her party. You did a beautiful job showing what a lovely party it was. I loved the photos and felt like I got a glimpse into the evening. I especially loved the last two pictures because you realy captured the feeling of the night.

Great job, Gayla and Tricia.
