Newport Harbor Yacht Club Wedding Photography

Newport Harbor Yacht Club Wedding Photography

Newport Beach, CA

It was so great to be back to the Newport Harbor Yacht Club for Claire and Roberts wedding! The newly remodeled clubhouse is absolutely gorgeous. The wedding day started down the street at the Lido House hotel. The bridal suite was so cute! It totally fit the theme of the wedding day with all of the nautical decor. Wendy with Chic Productions was there keeping everyone on schedule and even steamed the dress!

After taking the getting ready and family photos at the Lido House, we met up with Robert and his family at the church for formal photos. After their beautiful traditional ceremony at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, they jumped in their hot rod Woody and drove the Newport Harbor Yacht Club.

Once we arrived to the Newport Harbor Yacht Club, we took a few more family formals and had time to walk around with the couple. Cocktail hour was going on upstairs on the deck while we took romantic photos with the Newport Harbor as their backdrop! The day passed by so fast! (that is how you know it was a fun wedding) The next thing we knew, the grand entrance was underway and the rest of the party was a blur! Congrats guys! We hops to see you again when your family grows! 🙂

The open environment at Back Bay invites your kids to explore, walk, and twirl safely. I’m there to guide you into natural poses, creating moments that are genuine rather than staged. The golden hour (right before sunset) is the best time for a session at this location.
From photographing many first birthday sessions I’ve found that three to four weeks before your baby turns one is the sweet spot. Having it done ahead of time means you get to enjoy the session instead of squeezing it in. Plus you can have the binges back in time for a party. 

Also…if you are doing a custom backdrop you want to give us some time to create it and get all the pieces in the studio (which is usually 3-4 weeks).
My heart is full today. My youngest Cody is 17. I’m soaking up every moment I have left with him at home. Cody - I love being your mom. You are so kind and loving and always thinking of others. I miss your “2 puppies” and “snazzy” but love all the new things you do now. You are amazing! I love you infinity times infinity ❤️
