Parissa + Atta | Elegant Downtown Hotel Wedding | San Diego

A Downtown Hotel Affair to Remember

In the heart of downtown San Diego, the Westgate Hotel provided a stunning and romantic backdrop for Parissa and Atta’s unforgettable wedding day. This elegant downtown hotel, with its French-inspired architecture and a regal staircase, set the stage for this elegant culture-fusion wedding.

Fashionably Ever After

Parissa and Atta are the epitome of grace, style, and beauty. I knew that when we met for their engagement session earlier in the year. They loved the idea of embracing elegance and grandeur. So we selected Pasadena City Hall for photographing their engagement — an architectural icon of Los Angeles. They arrived dressed to impress, in a stunning green ball gown and a sharp suit with matching green tie. But that’s not all — they turned it up to eleven by showing up in a Rolls Royce they’d booked specifically for the session. Therefore, it came as no surprise to me when I heard they selected the Westgate Hotel for their wedding venue. A rising tower in San Diego’s downtown, its French-inspired architecture, opulent ballrooms, and cityscape views make it the perfect blend of modern and classic to create a most elegant atmosphere.

A Perfect Blend of Elegance and Tradition

Parissa and Atta’s wedding day was a celebration of unity and love, seamlessly blending the traditions of two vibrant cultures. They chose to honor their heritage with a beautiful Persian ceremony, followed by a Western ceremony that symbolized their shared values and life together. With local news anchor Shally Zomorodi officiating both ceremonies, this rooftop gathering was a sight to behold. The Westgate Hotel’s stunning terrace, surrounded by the towering skyscrapers of downtown, served as the perfect backdrop for these heartfelt moments.

A Luxurious Ballroom Celebration

After the unique outdoor ceremony, the celebration continued in the Westgate Hotel’s luxuriously decorated ballroom. The space, adorned with opulent details, set the stage for a night filled with laughter, dancing, and cherished moments. The charm of the French-inspired architecture, together with the couple’s unique style, transformed the ballroom into a mesmerizing wonderland. The downtown hotel served as a perfect backdrop for their romantic and stylish affair, leaving guests in awe as they celebrated the newlyweds.

Parissa and Atta’s wedding day at the Westgate Hotel was a celebration of love, culture, and an unbreakable bond. The fusion of Persian and Western traditions, the elegant French-inspired architecture of the downtown hotel, and the grandeur of the regal staircase created an unparalleled wedding experience.
