Arielle (of Arielle Vey Photography) and Bennett live in San Diego but decided to tie the knot back in Arielle’s home state of Washington.

A number of us LA vendors decided to blow off some post wedding season steam by throwing the most fun party of the year: the annual DART Collective ‘Party Down’ holiday shindig. The theme was wild and challenged us to unearth the most fun and conceptual elements of the late 80’s and early 90’s aesthetic, and present them in a way that was nostalgically rad and yet not entirely dated…

A group of us creatives designed a mock wedding at the Redd on Salmon in downtown Portland.

We had a wonderful time planning for Steph and Andrew who were keen to hone in on the details at their Bel Air Bay Club wedding in fall of 2016...
