Temecula Wine Country Engagement Photography | Mike+Maggie=Engaged

Posted in Destination Wedding, Engagement Portraits 7 comments

Recently we celebrated Mike and Maggie’s engagement with a little wine tasting and photos out in Temecula. This was a little different engagement session as the two just wanted to spend the day together and take some moments as we went along.

Maggie and I actually go way back. We went to the same high school in State College, PA but she was a few years behind me, so we didn’t actually meet until college. We both worked as bank tellers during our days at Penn State and then we lost touch after I had moved away. After all these years, Maggie and I reconnected on Facebook…imagine that! Then I found out she lived out here in California too and was only about a half hour away from where we lived. I was totally excited because it was a familiar face from back home.

It has been so great to catch up with each others lives! One of the best things to hear was that Maggie was engaged to a great guy and planning their wedding. So, not only did I find an old friend, but we get to shoot her wedding. We are so excited to share in this fabulous day with them. Until then, we have some great moments of the two on our day in Temecula.

So, our day started out at Ponte Winery where we had a fabulous lunch in which I tried my first cooked mussel. That was an adventure for me! We then stopped at Monte de Oro Winery which is a new winery out there that is just gorgeous and they have some great wines! Finally, we ended at one of my favorites, Leonesse Cellars where we took a few shots in the vines. All I have to say is… AMAZING!!! Love, Wine and the Vines you can’t go wrong celebrating your love there for your wedding or engagement!

Congratulations to Mike and Maggie, we can’t wait to shoot your wedding! Thanks for spending the day with us and sharing some fabulous moments with us. Cheers to you both! J+D

I love Maggie’s expression in this one!

Voted a favorite by all of us!

Love in the Vines!

Dana Point Yacht Club Wedding | Mark+Jean=Married |

Posted in Destination Wedding, Orange County Weddings 3 comments

Happy Friday to all! Our Chicago couple is back to share with you their I-Do’s in the beautiful Dana Point Harbor. I still can’t believe that these two both lived only a short distance from each other in Chicago, but didn’t meet until they both moved out to Southern California. The two were engaged in Dana Point, so they brought their wedding day celebration back to that special spot to share with all of their family and friends. On a gorgeous Friday afternoon at the Dana Point Yacht Club Mark and Jean were married. Congratulations to you both! Thank you so much for having us share your wedding day with you. Have a fabulous weekend! Cheers, J+D

Newport Beach Marriott Wedding starring Dan+Kelli-Rae=Married

Posted in Destination Wedding, Orange County Weddings 6 comments

Happy Friday to all! Hope everyone is off to a great day and have a fabulous weekend planned. Anyone doing anything special? I will be spending time with an old friend today as she is moving out of state this week. That is two friends this week that are moving far away, it has been a rough one for me! It is hard to see them go. I said good-bye to my dear Melly on Tuesday as she moved out of the country and today Adrienne, who I have been friends with since 1994. I guess you could say we go way back. Actually it is back to a hallway at Penn State where we met right before a photography class and clicked instantly. No pun intended! I have been so lucky to have made some really great friends at different times in my life. At some point, we may move on and do different things, but our friendships will last forever.

Today, I share with you a wedding we shot at the Newport Beach Marriott over the Memorial Day weekend starring Dan + Kelli-Rae. Speaking of friends, I met our bride Kelli-Rae about 3 years ago at a marketing firm we both worked at. Since then we have both moved on, but still kept in touch. Over the last year, we have celebrated their engagement and now their wedding day and we were so happy to be there. It is such an honor to photograph such special moments in peoples lives and it means even more when you are friends with them.

Dan and Kelli-Rae are a fabulous couple with a great beginning to their love story as we photographed their wedding at the beautiful Newport Beach Marriott. Kelli-Rae was just a stunning bride. The two really put the special things about them in their wedding theme. They had a subtle movie theme to their reception, it was perfect. They both love watching movies together, so we started with the movie theme when we did their theater engagement session. Dan is a screen writer and Kelli-Rae has done some acting and singing in a few productions (you will see the bride in a shot singing to her groom), so the theme was something important to them. We just loved seeing our photos on their save the dates, invites and wedding programs. A fabulous job was done by our friend Brittany on all of her designs. Again, it goes back to having wonderful friends in your life for times like these. Enjoy the show, cheers to you both! We thank you for sharing this moment with us, J+D.

Bride Getting Ready at Newport Beach Marriott

I told you she was stunning! My favorite shot of the bride, she is ready to go! I am very proud of this shot, thinking about submitting this one to a wedding photography magazine.
