Newport Beach Orange County Wedding | Mike + Shannon

Here are some ideas for venues if you are planning a Newport Beach, Orange County Wedding. We were thrilled to spend the day with Mike and Shannon and photograph their wedding. We started with a first look before the wedding at the Balboa Bay Resort and took a few photos of the couple there. We then headed to the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church for the wedding ceremony. Afterwards the couple requested we go to the beach for the bridal photos. Finally, their wedding reception was held at the Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom located near the Balboa Fun Zone. Such great spots for a wedding. We hope you enjoy the photos.

Balboa Inn Newport Beach Wedding | Richie and Sheela

We photographed Richie and Sheela’s wedding at the Balboa Inn in Newport Beach. We loved working with this couple! Sheela dressed in a traditional Indian Bridal Saree. I love the first shot of her mom and Aunt helping her get dressed and all of the bangles and gold. It looks so beautiful. The couple had their wedding and reception on the Terrace at Balboa Inn. We also incorporated some Beach photos by the Balboa Pier since this venue is so close to the sand in Newport. Congratulations to Richie & Sheela, it was a pleasure working with you and your family.

Cheers+Love, J+D

Newport Beach CA LDS Temple Wedding | Ben + Megan

Ben and Megan planned their wedding in California at the Newport Beach LDS Temple. We arrived for photos just as the couple made the exit from the temple right after their wedding ceremony. The LDS temple in Newport has such beautiful grounds for wedding photos. We loved it!!!
The couple also requested photos at the beach, so we headed to the Wedge in Newport Beach. We had so much fun with this couple as they enjoyed the day in the sand. A bride, running barefoot at the beach in her wedding dress is such a fabulous moment. We got some great shots of these two in LOVE and having fun.

To celebrate with all of their family and friends they had an intimate wedding reception at Il Fornaio in Irvine, CA. This is a great venue for a wedding of various sizes as they can accommodate your ceremony as well as a small to larger guest count for your reception. Oh and the food is spectacular and I am not just saying that because I am Italian. We have eaten there on several occasions.

Congratulations to Ben and Megan!!! We hope you enjoy the photos. J+D

Portico Weddings in Gilbert, Arizona | Jeremiah + Gloria

This Summer my sister Gloria and now brother-in-law Jeremiah were married at Portico Weddings & Events . Portico is a great wedding venue in Gilbert, Arizona that hosts both an outdoor ceremony and reception. What a great day for these two. It was the perfect celebration for both of our families. We were able to see some of our family and friends from back East that came out to celebrate with us. Fun was had by all!

I had a little bit of double duty because I was a bridesmaid and our 2 year old son Hudson was a ring bearer. I also helped photograph the wedding with my husband, Jeff. Between the two of us, we were able to capture all of the wonderful moments of the day.

Congratulations to Jeremiah and Gloria! Enjoy the photos as you relive your special day. We love you both very much.

Cheers and Love,
J+D

Laguna Beach Senior Portrait | Addison

Gosh, Summer is flying right by us! School is already starting for some and we are taking Senior Photos for the 2016 graduates. Here is Addison who recently visited California and wanted to do his senior portraits at the beach. He lives and goes to school in Wisconsin, so this is definitely something different and will stand out. His family was so excited to have a beach portrait done in Laguna to submit for his yearbook photo. How cool will that be?

Addison was super cool to work with. It was great that he included his baseball jersey for a few shots. That is what this year is about. Showing who you are and what you like to do to document this time of your life. Congratulations Addison, we hope you have a great Senior year!!!

It shows off Addison’s baseball jersey but also shows him looking off. Almost a symbol of what lies ahead with his Senior year in high school and graduation!

Disneyland Engagement Proposal

I am so excited to share this surprise engagement proposal for Kevin and Samantha that I photographed at Disneyland. Kevin reached out to me from Australia where he and Samantha live and asked me to shoot his engagement proposal when they came to vacation at the Disney Resort in Anaheim, California.

I have to say that major props got out to this guy as he had it all planned out to be a moment that Samantha would never forget. This girl got to be a princess for the evening. The romantic date started with a horse drawn Cinderella Carriage from their hotel by Savannah Rose Carriages which dropped them off at Disneyland. Kevin’s plan was to do his engagement proposal in front of the Cinderella Castle, so it all tied in to the theme. I watched them start the ride down the street in the carriage then got in place where they would step off the carriage. All of the shots were captured from a distance. As I followed them down Main Street in Disneyland, Samantha had no idea I was there. I was able to capture all of the small moments prior to their proposal, the actual engagement and then we took a few shots of the two together after they got engaged. My eyes teared up in this special moment. I am truly inspired by these precious times in peoples lives that I get to capture. It was so wonderful to see them so happy.

You are going to love this one! A big congratulations to Kevin and Samantha on their beautiful engagement. Thanks for having me be a part of this awesome day. We hope to see you at the wedding as we would love to go to Australia and photograph it.

Cheers and love to you both! J+D
