Even though the wedding was running a little behind, the guests were all having a great time at the reception. There were great speeches, poignant first dances, a fun cake cutting, and a countless number of timeless moments at this event. Besides the few images below, you can see more of it in the slideshow a few posts up.

After the most upbeat grand entrance I had ever seen, the couple went right into the Hora. As our bride and groom were lifted high into the air, we caught some great expressions.

During the reception, Adam and Desiree went through many Jewish wedding traditions, including the blessing and cutting of the bread, depicted below.


The catering at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach served delicious food with flavor that matched its presentation.

The father daughter dance on the Island Hotel dance floor in Newport Beach was a great moment in the wedding.

Desiree’s cousin performed on the saxophone, as the guests hit the dance floor.
