Island Hotel Newport Beach Wedding Preparation | Adam and Desiree

March 16th, 2010

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.

Island Hotel Newport Beach Wedding Ceremony | Adam and Desiree

March 16th, 2010

Adam and Desiree’s wedding ceremony took place in a beautiful tent at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach. The decor was beautifully orchestrated by Adina Verdult of The Event Loft and their wonderful team of planners. The beautiful red roses adorned the aisles and the alter, while hundreds of candles around the room provided a tranquil, serene environment.

The image below shows the bride circling the groom as part of the traditions of a Jewish wedding ceremony.

Desiree’s 11 bridesmaids were laughing one second, crying another, or even both at the same time during the ceremony at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach.

I loved how the mother of groom fist pumped the air as she came back down the aisle after the ceremony.

Island Hotel Newport Beach Wedding Reception | Adam and Desiree

March 16th, 2010

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.

Balboa Fun Zone Newport Beach Engagement Photography | Nate and Claire

March 12th, 2010

A week ago I hung out with Claire and Nate at the Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach. We took full advantage of the playful environment of the Balboa Fun Zone, snapping a few shots on the Ferris Wheel, the Carousel, and over in the arcade. The textures and colors, unique colors, and outgoing couple made my job as a photographer, as I only needed to set up each shot and let the environment and their personalities take over and create the shot. Having rained that morning, the clouds created a beautiful cover for many images and a unique backdrop for other photographs.

Nate looks exactly like my friend Phil from back and high school, so after slipping up a few times, I gave up and Nate is not willing to go by Phil. I had a great time with these two; and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in the Fall of this year.

My first time shooting a couple on a carousel at the Balboa Fun Zone was quite challenging. It seemed like every other shot had a bar in front of one of their faces, and as I almost always prefer low apertures, my focus had to be right on. I cam away with a few great expressions, as Claire and Nate spent a few minutes getting dizzy.

I wanted to draw focus to Claire’s beautiful eyes in this image by using a thin crop. We found a great shaded spot for portraits in the buildings right next to the Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach.

I love finding natural frames for my shots, like this boat rental structure created for this engagement picture at the Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach.

The little shops on the side of Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach create a lot of fun shots with the right couple.

The nice textures of the building around Balboa Fun Zone create great shade, and Claire and Nate really knew how to make each other laugh.

Handsome as always, here’s Nate adorning his summer gardening hat.

We went ended at the beach next to the Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach hoping to get a few sunset shots, but as you can see in the picture, the clouds were rolling in. We were able to fire off a few jumping shots before mother nature decided that we were done for the day.

I originally wanted to go on the Carousel at Balboa Fun Zone with them, but the operator said that I would have to be on the opposite side of them to balance it out. Instead, I was stuck on the ground, but this gave me a unique perspective with a dramatic sky as my backdrop.

Newport Beach Wedding Photography | Balboa Inn | Chad + Valinda

December 20th, 2009

The reception was held at the beautiful Balboa Inn in Newport Beach. Located right next to the beach, the cozy reception hall was beautifully decorated.

Here’s an row of Chad + Valinda’s delicate party favors. The dramatic tungsten lighting is courtesy of the balboa inn’s cozy reception hall.

The problem with most garter tosses is that most guys put in very little effort to catch the garter. As a former football player, Chad came up with a great idea to give the single guys a little more incentive to go for that garter by wrapping a football and cash inside the garter.

Here’s an image of Valinda dancing on the Balboa Inn dance floor.

Another intimate first dance moment of Chad and Valinda.

And it wouldn’t be a Lin and Jirsa wedding without a macro shot of the rings. I decided to frame the rings inside of the roses on the tables of Balboa Inn.
