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! 🙂

A little something I cooked up 

24 years of weddings later and apparently I still haven’t gotten this photography thing out of my system 

Honestly?
Wedding photography is basically part chaos, part storytelling, and part catching moments couples didn’t even realize were happening.

And somehow those always end up being the photos people love the most. 🤍

Brides…What’s the ONE photo you already know you want from your wedding day? OR the one photo you treasure from your wedding?
The NCL mother-daughter moments were EVERYTHING at the Rainbow Luncheon.

Watching these girls walk beside their moms with so much confidence, grace, and personality was honestly emotional to photograph. 

Because behind every confident daughter is usually a mom who spent years showing up quietly in the background the whole way.

And somehow events like this make you realize just how fast it all goes. 

To all the NCL moms:
you can truly see your love reflected in these girls. 🤍✨

Tag an NCL mom or daughter who’s been through this or has their moment coming soon.
They wanted additional photos at the beach, so we planned a separate session where they could slow down, be present and just enjoy being together without the structure of the wedding day timeline.#trashthedress #weddingday
After 6+ years of service, friendships, events, meetings, volunteering, and growing up together… getting to watch these NCL senior ticktockers have their moment on the runway felt really special. 🤍

You could see the confidence, personality, and excitement in every single one of them.

And honestly?
I think moments like this hit the parents even harder 

Because suddenly the little kids you went to NCL events are young adults walking across a runway representing the organizations, brands, and people they’ve spent years supporting and learning from.

So proud of all of these incredible girls and everyone they represented ✨Props to JC Fashion Events for organizing an amazing fashion show.

NCL families, you are raising some truly amazing humans 🤍

Tag a Ticktocker, senior, or proud NCL parent below
“I know I should sleep… but the voices in my head go…” 👀

“Parents really don’t take enough photos once their kids become teenagers.” 

I think this stage matters MORE than people realize.

Because this is the season right before everything changes.

Before college.
Before moving out.
Before life starts looking different.

And one day these stop feeling like “just senior photos”…

And start feeling like proof of what life looked like before they grew up. 🤍

Moms of teens… comment book to plan a session this summer!
