Big Canyon Country Club Weddings

Wedding Venue spotlight: Big Canyon Country Club

Over the years, we have had the privilege of photographing events and weddings at Big Canyon Country Club. This exclusive golf course and clubhouse is located in Newport Beach- just minutes away from Fashion Island. Keep in mind that a club member must sponsor your wedding since it’s a private country club.

Photographing a debutante in a garden in a white dress? 🌿✨ Keep it light and natural! Let her move—twirl, laugh, or just be herself. Soft, natural light and a little motion make the photos feel effortless and beautiful! #SeniorPhotography #GardenPortraits #NaturalLight
Hey Fall Brides - You’re soaking up date nights, counting down to your wedding day (or maybe just starting to dream about what’s next).
But blink once, and it’s countdown to wedding time. Blink twice and it’s RSVP deadlines and fittings.
This summer is your sweet spot.
It’s the perfect time to capture that just-said-yes energy. This is your chance to slow down and reconnect. Picture this:
💍 Barefoot on the beach
💍 Rooftop champagne at sunset
💍 Road trip vibes with your person
💍 A quiet moment in golden light before everything speeds up
Let’s celebrate what matters — your connection, right now.
To the families and teachers of Carden Hall—what a moment to celebrate. 💙
The last school bell of middle school has rung—and ahead is a world full of possibility.
High school. New friendships. New challenges. New chapters to write.
They’re ready—because of the foundation you gave them.
They had teachers who believed in them and parents who supported them every step of the way. It is always so much fun being a part of an amazing school’s graduation. And an added bonus - a lot of their students - I have photographed their families for years. 💙
Here’s to the Class of 2025 and everything that lies ahead. The best is just beginning. ✨

If you’re photographing a senior who’s also preparing for an LDS mission, here’s how to make the most of it:

1️⃣ Start with Alma Mater Pride: Use their high school campus as a backdrop to honor their journey so far.
2️⃣ Transition to Mission Vibes: Bring in the mission flag and capture those proud, meaningful shots.
3️⃣ Blend Both Worlds: Combine graduation and missionary elements to create a visual story that’s unique and personal.

With school ending this week in ca - thought this post was fitting. With 5 year olds, structured poses aren’t always the best. Instead, let them explore! Ask them to twirl, run, or show off their favorite dance move. The key is to capture their natural energy and excitement. She picked almost all the spots she wanted her photo taken at and enjoyed the session so much she wanted it to keep going.
