Malika and Robert - The Fairmont Newport Beach


Malika and Robert's wedding celebrations spanned three days...and I don't think they ever stopped smiling for the entire time!

The Mendhi and Sangeet celebrations before the actual wedding day were so much fun to film. There was the traditional henna hand painting, and lots of music, dancing and singing at both events. The Sangeet and the wedding reception also included traditional dance performances, and two well-known singers from India, who with the band, had all the guests dancing the entire night.

Their wedding ceremony was held early in the morning at The Balboa Bay Club, and included the traditional arrival of the groom on a white horse. The reception later that evening at The Fairmont was fantastic...and included amazing lighting and decor, a separate room for desserts and tea, and dancing, dancing, dancing!!

Laura and Brad - The Montage Resort & Spa


It was such a beautiful day at The Montage for Laura and Brad's wedding. The light was just perfect for the entire day...the ocean was a dark blue behind them during their ceremony, and then we had an amazing sunset which gave us some really beautiful shots later in the day!

This was a destination wedding for the couple and their families, and most of their friends were from out of state as well. One of the many special moments during the day was when Laura's dad sang "Our House" by CSNY during his toast...the look on Laura's face was priceless!!

Here's a highlight montage from their production.
