Samantha is an incredible stylist in Los Angeles, so when she reached out about her plans for a Parent Trap-inspired wedding day at the Greystone Mansion, I knew it would be the event of the year. Mixing together her love of this gorgeous city with classic European charm, their wedding day was truly chic from beginning to end. Capturing this stunning celebration was an absolute honor, and I’m thrilled to share their unforgettable day with you.
We started the day at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, where Samantha got ready with her family and bridal party. As someone who resides on the East Coast, I was so excited to shoot at such a fun and notable location. The pink walls and towering palm trees were the perfect backdrop for some fun solo portraits. And we ended up having the most classic L.A. moment – as we were finishing up Samantha’s portraits in the hotel lobby, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez walked through! Ben even stopped to say congratulations to Samantha on her big day.
If you want the look of a European wedding without leaving the U.S., there is truly nowhere better than Greystone Mansion. The Tudor-style mansion has acres of property with gorgeous fountains and towering shrubs, and Samantha and Price’s favorite – a stone terrace with a stunning view of Los Angeles.
The property is quite large, so I traveled to L.A. a few days in advance to scope out the best spots for portraits. With Samantha and Price having both a large wedding party and family, I’m glad I was able to find the perfect spots to fit everyone comfortably! We chose to use the indoor space for Samantha and Price’s first look and then enjoyed the rest of our time walking around the gardens.
Samantha and Price’s wedding day was entirely al fresco, from their ceremony on the lawn to dancing under the stars. Guests donned parasols for shade and watched the sunset behind the mansion during dinner. The day truly embodied her favorite character, Elizabeth James, in every way.
Their wedding day wasn’t just visually stunning; it had so many heartfelt moments shared with their closest family and friends. As a wedding photographer, one of my greatest joys is connecting with couples like Samantha and Price. Each celebration is unique, and I approach every wedding with care and intention. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding or something closer to home, I’d love to help bring your vision to life. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

"Truly unparalleled artistic talent. Liz truly got to understand my husband and I as individuals and as a couple, and she used this knowledge throughout her work to capture beautiful, meaningful moments. We had Liz photograph every part of our wedding process - from the engagement shoot, to the bridal shower, the rehearsal dinner, and finally of course the wedding day. She is kind, enthusiastic, responsive, and an all around fantastic person. We cannot recommend her enough!”
