Behind the Lens: The Alana Hadid and Ross Williams Wedding
When planner Melissa Andre calls to ask if we’re available for a wedding, of course the answer is always yes. Every event she designs is visually stunning, thoughtful, and layered with detail — a dream for any photographer. So when she mentioned the Alana Hadid and Ross Williams wedding, we were instantly on board. Of course we were even more excited to see that the wedding was featured in VOGUE Magazine and Vogue wedding. We used a combination of digital and ol’ school film
The Rehearsal Dinner at Petit Ermitage
The celebration began with a chic and intimate rehearsal dinner at Petit Ermitage, a boutique hotel known for its bohemian charm and rooftop garden. Alana looked effortlessly chic in an all white outfit, paired with a layered necklace from Pearloctopus, which added a touch of personal flair. The evening was full of laughter and tears.
The Wedding Setting
The Alana Hadid wedding took place at her father’s home in Los Angeles, creating a personal, emotional backdrop that blended family history with natural California beauty. The atmosphere was relaxed and intimate — more garden gathering than formal affair — and every detail reflected Alana and Ross Williams’ effortless style.
The decor by Melissa Andre Design Co. mixed mossy textures, vintage pieces, and romantic table settings under the open sky. It was one of those rare events where you could feel the intention behind every design choice.
Our Approach: Modern Meets Nostalgic
For this wedding, we wanted the images to feel cinematic yet timeless. We used a combination of drone photography and film to tell the story from both a grand and personal perspective.
- Drone work gave us sweeping views of the property — guests mingling in the garden, the ceremony framed by the California landscape, and those just-married moments of Alana and Ross Williams walking hand in hand.
- Film photography added warmth and texture. It captured the emotion of the day — the soft smiles, the family connections, and those unscripted moments that make a wedding feel alive.
The mix of formats let us create a full visual narrative: modern, organic, and deeply human.
Highlights from the Day
A few moments that stood out from the Alana Hadid and Ross Williams wedding:
- Alana’s vintage Vivienne Westwood gown, sourced through Tab Vintage — a piece that felt personal and artful rather than traditional.
- The bridesmaids (including her sisters Gigi and Bella) walking barefoot through the grass in soft shades of green.
- A heartfelt ceremony underscored by Led Zeppelin’s “Thank You.”
- The relaxed, family-first energy that carried through the entire evening for Alana and Ross Williams.
Collaboration & Creative Flow
Working alongside Melissa Andre and her team is always seamless. Communication, timing, and creative vision are aligned from the start — which allows us to focus purely on capturing emotion and atmosphere.
As the night went on and the celebration turned into a glowing garden party, we found those perfect frames: laughter mid-toast, candlelight over mossy tabletops, and Alana and Ross Williams taking it all in. Those are the kinds of images we live for — unposed, elegant, and real.
Final Thoughts
The Alana Hadid and Ross Williams wedding was a masterclass in balance — sophisticated yet grounded, intimate yet visually grand. It was the kind of day that reminds us why we love what we do: documenting love stories with style, authenticity, and artistry.
And yes — when Melissa calls next time, we’ll have the batteries charged and film loaded, ready to go.
