An Industrial Romance: Jed & Azalea’s Cinematic Wedding at Hangar 21 

There is a certain magic that happens when industrial architecture meets a soft, romantic color palette. Jed & Azalea's wedding at Hangar 21 was the perfect example of modern sophistication. Set against the backdrop of the Fullerton airport, their day was filled with cinematic moments—starting with a breathtaking helicopter arrival that left guests in awe. 

The day began in the sleek, industrial bridal suite at Hangar 21. Azalea’s morning was a beautiful blend of modern elegance and personal tradition. From the delicate lace of her gown to the vibrant orchid lei and the stunning ring set nestled in a custom wooden box, every detail was a reflection of Jed and Azalea’s unique story. Capturing these quiet, intimate moments of preparation sets the stage for the high-energy celebration to follow. 

In this portrait, Azalea truly shines as a modern bride. The raw, textured concrete of the Hangar 21 bridal suite provides a minimalist, high-fashion backdrop that allows her vibrant tropical bouquet to take center stage.

Her look—featuring a hand-crafted orchid crown and a cascading bouquet of anthuriums and yellow roses—is a masterclass in 'Tropical-Industrial' style. Capturing these moments of quiet confidence before the ceremony is where we really see the personality of the bride come to life. It’s the perfect balance of soft, romantic details set against the bold, architectural lines of Fullerton’s most iconic venue.

Who says the bridal party gets to have all the fun? Jed and his groomsmen brought an incredible energy to the morning, ditching traditional tuxedos for vibrant, tropical-print florals that perfectly matched the spirit of the day. From the quiet moment of Jed adjusting his teal tie to the high-energy 'jump' shots and arm-wrestling matches at the hangar bar, these photos capture the brotherhood and excitement that define a wedding morning. It was the perfect way to kick off a celebration that was as unique as it was cinematic. 

An Open-Air Ceremony at Hangar 21 South 

The ceremony at Hangar 21 South was a breathtaking fusion of styles. Under the clear California sky, the raw, minimalist architecture of the venue was transformed into a tropical paradise. Guests arrived in vibrant floral prints, echoing the joyful energy of the day.

One of my favorite details was the wedding ring presentation—nestled in a custom wooden box and encircled by a lush purple orchid lei, it was a beautiful nod to the couple's heritage and the day's tropical theme.

As Azalea made her way down the aisle, the contrast was stunning. Her classic white lace gown and vibrant, cascading bouquet moved through a sea of color as friends and family looked on. It wasn't just a ceremony; it was a celebration of two worlds coming together in the most cinematic setting Fullerton has to offer.

Following the ceremony, we took a moment to capture Jed and Azalea framed by their stunning wooden altar. The craftsmanship of the tropical floral arrangements—featuring bold monstera leaves and vibrant bird of paradise—brought a touch of island paradise into the industrial hangar.

Draped in traditional purple orchid leis, the couple looked absolutely radiant. This portrait perfectly captures the joy and cultural beauty they wove into every detail of their day. It’s moments like these, where modern style meets deeply personal tradition, that make wedding photography at Hangar 21 so rewarding. 

There are wedding entrances, and then there is the Hangar 21 entrance. As the rotors slowed and the doors opened, Jed and Azalea stepped out into the crisp Fullerton air as husband and wife. Walking across the tarmac toward their cheering guests, you could feel the excitement in every frame. The contrast of the sleek blue helicopter against the industrial backdrop of the airport provided the ultimate 'Main Character' moment for their portraits. 

One of the most unforgettable parts of a Hangar 21 wedding is the brief, quiet window of time the couple spends together inside the helicopter. Before the whirlwind of the reception began, Jed and Azalea shared this intimate moment in the cockpit. It feels like a still from a romantic film—a private celebration of their new life together.
