Married in Newport Beach – Kim + Clark’s Wedding

Kim and Clark’s wedding was simple and beautiful! The couple was surrounded by close family and friends and it made the day so much fun for us. We have known the bride for a long time, so we had a lot of friends in the room as well! The morning started out at the Newport Beach Hyatt Regency. The couple had the largest suite in the whole resort! It even had a private backyard with a pool! One of the bridesmaids is a Hyatt coordinator and we have worked numerous weddings together. It was fun to see her in the wedding party for once!

Balboa Yacht Club Wedding Photographer

After the first look and formal wedding photos, we drove down the street to the Balboa Yacht Club in Corona Del Mar. The ceremony was right on the water so it was only fitting that the boys would arrive on a boat! After the ceremony, the guests walked upstairs to the reception for a fun night of dinner, drinks, and dancing! Balboa Yacht Club Wedding Photographer for life!

From the bride…

How you two met in your own words:

Clark and I went to High School together and had mutual friends. Each time we hung out together through friends, we were always dating other people. (I always had an eye on him…) We went out one night with a friend (and were both single) and made out in a taxi cab on the way home from the bar. The rest is history!

In your own words…the proposal!

Clark proposed on Thanksgiving while my family and some friends were over. He pulled me outside and told me he was thankful for me. He then got on one knee. It was simple and special!
