Newport Beach Country Club Wedding Photography

Newport Beach Country Club Wedding Photography Megan + Max

We are still talking about Max and Megan’s amazing Newport Beach Country Club wedding! The production was perfectly coordinated by Chloe and her team at Aster and Park Events. We arrived at the bride’s parents home that morning to capture details and the girls getting ready. We met up with Michael (our newest associate videographer) earlier that morning and came up with a game plan for the day. We were so excited to be working together for this wedding! When the girls were finished, we all headed over to the Newport Beach Country Club for the first look.

Newport Beach Country Club Wedding

Since this was our first time at the Newport Beach Country Club, we wanted to get there and figure out the best photo locations. We met up with the venue coordinator Erica who gave us a quick tour and let us know that this would be the first wedding ceremony on the lawn! We were excited to get to work and not only document the wedding for our client, but also for the venue! They gave us full access to the golf course (which is not the norm for country clubs) We had a guide who drove us around and let us know when we were safe to shoot 🙂 We absolutely loved the back area where we found large trees, a lake, and water fall.

Ceremony on the green!

The new ceremony area was beautiful and only steps away from the club. This was a dusk ceremony, so the sunlight was gorgeous! Megan and Max had prepared heartfelt vows to each other (our fav part) and had lovely string arrangements in the background by OC Strings.

Time to party!

This couple had two things in mind for this reception; dancing and lots of drinking! The party was nonstop, from the moment the dance floor opened up. The entire day was perfect and we had a blast being a small part of it 🙂 Congrats Megan and Max- we love you guys!

There are few milestones as meaningful as a Bat Mitzvah. 💜
It is more than a party. It is family, tradition, and the moment your daughter steps into a new chapter.
This day was full of laughter, dancing, and so much love surrounding her. The kind of celebration that family dreams of remembering forever.
Here is a little highlight reel while we finish up the full gallery. Photos coming soon and I cannot wait to relive it all.

This mama wanted something natural and timeless at the beach, and sunset gave her exactly that.

If you are planning maternity photos, think about sunrise or sunset. Those times of day truly make a difference in how relaxed and beautiful your images feel.

This year’s mini sessions are in the studio on our clean white backdrop. It’s timeless, classic, and the perfect blank canvas to let your family’s personality shine.

Last year we photographed this family, and they brought so much fun energy into their session. Proof that even on a simple backdrop, your joy and connection make the photos unique.

If you’ve been waiting for updated portraits, this is the easiest (and most fun!) way to do it
When it’s 115° by midday, sunrise is your best friend. For this session, we met at sunrise to photograph an 18-year-old heading out on his LDS mission.
	•	The light is softer and golden…perfect for portraits.
	•	The heat hasn’t set in yet, so you’re more comfortable.
	•	And bonus: fewer crowds at popular locations.

If you’re planning a summer session in Arizona, sunrise is the way to go!
