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! 🙂

This extended family session didn’t go exactly as planned…

Our original beach was covered in seaweed (and bugs — which the kids were not going to be okay with 😅), so we made a quick location switch.

The backup spot was packed with people — but here’s the magic: I can Photoshop them out so it looks like they had the whole beach to themselves.

Because even when things don’t go perfectly, we still make it work — and the final images? Totally worth it. 💛

Just realized I never shared this sweet family session — and it’s too good to keep in the archives 🍂

Sometimes life gets busy and posts get missed, but this afternoon at the park was full of golden light, giggles, and the kind of easy moments that make family photos so special.

A good reminder: it’s never too late to press pause and remember the season you’re in 💛

🎥 Trying something new!
I wore the Meta glasses to capture behind-the-scenes at this adorable first communion reception — and it was so fun seeing it from my perspective.

From family groupings to sweet portraits, it’s always special to be part of a milestone like this. Can’t wait to use this more at future events!

Tip for portraits: If you have long hair, try a few different options during your session. One side in front and one behind, both sides in front, or both sides back. It seems small, but these little changes can completely change the feel of your photos — and you’ll love having options when you pick your favorites. ✨

One of my favorite party add-ons 🎉

This 16x20 custom board is designed using your little one’s cake smash photos — and it’s such a fun way to decorate the party! Display it near the cake table, or let guests sign it as a keepsake.

Because turning one only happens once 🧁
