Wedding Gallery at Paramour Estate | Megan & Ryan

Tucked away on a hilltop in Silver Lake, Paramour Estate feels like stepping into a vintage Hollywood film — terra-cotta walls bathed in golden-hour light, antique tilework and wrought-iron balconies, lush gardens giving way to panoramic Los Angeles vistas. For a wedding photographer, the estate isn’t just a venue — it’s a world of textures, moods, and stories, where every room, lawn, and terrace offers a new frame worth capturing. On this wedding day, we moved from intimate getting-ready suites to a rose-garden ceremony, from golden-hour couple portraits on a sweeping lawn to moody, artful reception shots inside the mansion — every frame a chapter in the couple’s story.

Why Paramour Estate is an Iconic Wedding Venue

• Timeless Hollywood-era grandeur & history — Paramour Estate is a Mediterranean Revival/Beaux-Arts mansion built in 1923 for oil heiress Daisy Canfield and silent-film actor Antonio Moreno. The Venue Report+2Callaway Gable Wedding Photography+2
