Turnip Rose Wedding – Promenade Gardens

Turnip Rose Wedding – Promenade and Gardens – Chris & Jann

The Turnip Rose (Promenade and Gardens) is a wedding/event facility right off of the 405 freeway and Harbor Blvd. in Costa Mesa, CA. The Turnip Rose is also a catering company and they have two cafes!

We have been photographing Turnip Rose weddings since 2009 and are preferred photographers on their referral list.

How did you meet?

We met through mutual friends at a Halloween 5k run in Santa Monica in 2011. We reconnected on the dance floor at Andrea and Louie’s wedding in 2012. We’ve been together ever since…

The proposal…

In the summer of 2013, we sailed aboard a catamaran in the San Francisco Bay on a romantic sunset cruise. In every direction of the catamaran there were spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the beautiful lights of the City glimmering afar. As the sun started to set, I dropped to one knee, proposed to Jann and promised my love to her. After she said yes, I held her in my arms as we watched the sun set and sailed back to shore. This proposal would initiate an adventure of a lifetime with my best friend.

Simple Sophistication

We are on Instagram
Six looks so good on her 🎈

We kept this session simple and sweet with a soft pink backdrop and balloons to match her fun personality. Then we brought the whole family in on the white backdrop, even their adorable pup.

I love sessions like this because they show how much personality shines through when the focus stays on your child and the people they love most.

Every one year old is different. Some dive right in, some take their time, and some are not quite sure what to think at first. That is what makes these sessions so fun. You never know what you are going to get.

I love seeing their personalities shine through, especially when parents join in for a few photos at the beginning. It is such a sweet way to celebrate the first year and capture all the joy that comes with it.

I loved seeing this sweet couple again and their little dog. This year we did the session at  the San Juan Capistrano Mission.

It is such a good reminder to make photos part of your yearly routine. Life changes quickly, and having a collection of portraits over the years tells your story in the best way.

The colors are soft, the light is golden, and it is the perfect spot for families to relax and be themselves. This crew made it easy with so many laughs, hugs, and those little moments that remind me why I love photographing families.

Tip: The best time for fall photos is right before sunset when the light turns warm and glowy.
