The day started with some preparation shots in one of the suites at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach. The girls were having a blast that morning; and while hanging out, one of the maids of honor started moving and grooving to the music playing the room. She started singing which inspired the rest to join in, making for some awesome pics. The fun continued as I would surprise the girls with a few “I gotcha” moments as their hair was all over the place. After going downstairs to the bridal suite, all the girls helped as Desiree got into her amazing rhinestone/crystal laced wedding dress.


Playing around with the door of the suite in the Island Hotel created some great opportunities to play with the mixed lighting of the rooms.

Desiree has gorgeous eyes and beautiful make up that created a great opportunity for the shot below.

Address of the Island Hotel in Newport Beach: 690 Newport Center Drive Newport Beach, CA 92660-6431 (949) 759-0808
