Turnip Rose Promenade Wedding Photographer – Costa Mesa

Turnip Rose Promenade Wedding Photographer – Jessica + Mike

Always great to be back at the Turnip Rose Promenade in Costa Mesa, CA. Jessica & Mike are the sweetest couple you’ll ever meet! Here are some of our favorite photos from their wedding day. Be sure to watch the slide show, too! 🙂

How did you guys meet?

My good friend Amy convinced me that I should give online dating a try. I was skeptical and she created a profile for me. Mike was the second person that I went out with. Our first date was in late April 2017 at Tantalum in Long Beach. Since our first date we’ve pretty much been inseparable and the rest is history!

How did he propose?

Mike spent 18 years in Philly and went to college there. A lot of his good friends are still there. Philly is a place that is important to him and he was excited to show me around and have me meet his friends. We went for a walk on the morning of Friday July 13th. I wanted to see the famous love sign. Then Mike told me he had one more place he wanted to show me which was Ritten House Square. It was there by a water fountain that Mike proposed.

This birthday session was all about spring. Yellow, white, and fresh greenery made the sweetest backdrop for celebrating this little girl turning two.

And one of my favorite parts? Mom and Dad joined in. Parents often think these sessions are just about the child, but being in the photos matters too. Years from now, she’ll look back and see not only her birthday joy but also the love surrounding her. 💛

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!
