Newport Beach Wedding and Five Crowns Reception

This Newport Beach wedding was lovely from start to finish! Emily and Rob, along with their family and friends, filled the day with warmth and love. Their ring ceremony and reception were held at The Five Crowns in Corona Del Mar, and let me just say, the prime rib lives up to every expectation! I loved all the details that went into making this day special!

Newport Beach Lds Wedding

My heart is full as I reflect upon Emmi and Matt’s wedding day. So many heart-felt details were incorporated into this celebration of love. The honoring of the eternal nature of love, the revisiting of the couple’s first date locale, a brush with the beach (where Matt proposed)… it was like taking a trip in a time machine– spanning the entirely of their relationship up to that present day. Speaking of which, (not to spoil the romantic musings), they happened to be married on National Donut Day! Hence a few of the following images. And the icing on the cake… (no pun intended). Emmi is a native of Peru. Her family was not able to make the trip to California for the wedding. As a special surprise, Matt arranged a Skype session with Emmi’s family during their reception! Her reaction was priceless! These two have so much love for one another! I am so thankful I was invited to be a part of it! I wish you both a world of happiness! Thank you for your patronage!!! xoxo!

Newport Beach Wedding

february 29, 2012 Posted in Weddings

Hello all! Happy LEAP DAY!!! I can’t tell you how excited I feel about February 29th; the only day that is a collection of all the seconds of all the days of the previous 4 years. It is a little piece of everyday… Love should be expressed, honored, remembered and shared daily. I am so thankful to be surrounded by love and to photograph it. I look forward to loving and cherishing someone with February 29th spirit~

The following are images I shot last year. Catina and Jeff were married in the Newport Beach LDS Temple in November of 2010 and had a ring ceremony and reception the following summer. Here are some favorites that have finally found a home on Planet Blog. Enjoy! :)
