Gatsby Theme Wedding at The Ebell Club Long Beach

I love, love, love this wedding. Preston and Charity hosted their Great Gatsby theme wedding at The Ebell Club in Long Beach. This is such a perfect wedding venue for both your wedding ceremony and reception. When you scroll through the images you will see why. I felt romantic there! There were so many great spots for photography. The bridal room was just gorgeous. One of the best I have ever shot at. The look of the room was grand and the lighting, just perfect as the bride got ready. Charity was so happy, she just smiled all day. Another favorite was the parlor with a huge fireplace and piano. We shot the couples first look in there! Also, for the first time, we shot a Marine sword ceremony as the bride and groom exited the Courtyard. I was amazed, the guys, the uniforms it was a picture perfect moment. There is love, romance and splendor with this wedding. We hope you enjoy the photos.

Cheers to Preston and Charity! J+D

Red Horse Barn | Huntington Beach Wedding Venue

Travis and Mimi were married at the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach. This is a great venue in Orange County if you are looking to have a rustic, western or vintage theme wedding. Our couple did a western theme wedding. Travis and Mimi also incorporated a Chinese tea ceremony and a few photos of Mimi in her Asian formal wear. Our friends at An All Inclusive Event helped them put together this wonderful wedding. Michael and Terilyn of An All Inclusive Event have an awesome team who are always a pleasure to work with. We loved working with Travis and Mimi on this special day. We hope you enjoy the photos!
Cheers + Love,

Crystal Cove Engagement Portrait | Mike + Shannon

Mike and Shannon are engaged! We photographed this engagement portrait at Crystal Cove in Newport Beach. I love it there. You can enjoy a milkshake at the Shake Shack, take a stroll on the beach or have dinner at the Beachcomber. Gosh, it makes a great date spot here in Orange County.

It was such a beautiful day for a beach portrait with a gorgeous sunset. It was fun to capture these moment with Mike and Shannon as they are both so cute together.

After our shoot, Jeff and I enjoyed a Mai Tai at the Beachcomber. They are so good! It reminded me of being Hawaii even though we were home here in Orange County. Thanks guys for a great shoot.
Cheers to you both!

Tustin Backyard Wedding | Pat + Maggie = Married

This was an intimate wedding for Pat and Maggie that took place at the brides parents home in Tustin. We shot their first look at Bent Tree Park. It was the perfect back drop for some wedding photos with a woodsy type feel to them. Very rustic looking! The two then said their I-do’s poolside in a beautifully decorated backyard. It was a gorgeous evening for the two and we loved working with them. Congrats to Pat and Maggie.

Cheers to you both!
