For our Photo of the Week, we’re bringing a little groom inspiration (groom-spiration?) With his white shawl lapel tux, and black bowtie, our groom Charles hit it out of the park. His ensemble was perfect for his chic wedding to Nikia at the US Grant. A look this classic deserved a solo stylized portrait!
When photographing Charles, we couldn’t help bringing out his wistful expression and infectious smile. Enjoy :)

Like a wedding dress, the groom’s attire helps set the tone and style for the wedding day. The groom’s outfit helps to dictate whether the wedding has a relaxed beach vibe, a party atmosphere, or a formal air of sophistication. A lot of work goes into selecting the perfect jacket, locating a stunning tie, or finding the right pair of fresh new kicks. We love that our grooms put care and attention into their ensembles, and continually prove themselves as style icons.
