Mark+Jean=Married | Dana Point Yacht Club Wedding

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. Cheers, J+D

Wedding Ideas at The Beverly Hilton

Recently I photographed a wedding event at one of the most prestigious hotels in the Los Angeles area. The Beverly Hilton is known for hosting many elite events, one in particular that you all may know of is the annual Golden Globe awards. This hotel is also a fabulous venue for your wedding too. On this particular night, our event was hosted up in The Stardust Room. This is an intimate space to gather your guests for fabulous food, dancing and great ambiance. The patio off the Stardust Room has almost a 360 degree view of Los Angeles. Looking out you are literally feeling like you are on top of the world when you see the view of the city. It was amazing! We hope you enjoy the photos from this event. There are some fabulous wedding vendors and ideas to check out for planning your wedding.

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

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.

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.

The two wrote their own vows!

We just love this shot of Dan, such a happy guy!

Love the moments!

Another favorite...love these guys!
