Courtney and Colin’s wedding day was a dream day for any photographer.  It rained all week the week before, and it poured like a monsoon the day before, but as you can see, it cleared up and was sunny and gorgeous for their wedding day.  Courtney and Colin got married on Balboa Island in Newport Beach and chose all the perfect details and colors and flowers to perfectly compliment their venue and the surrounding areas.  We had so much fun before the ceremony taking photos with the couple and the wedding party in the Balboa Fun Zone.  After taking a ferry that only holds 3 cars to the island, it feels like you’ve been dropped into a Southern California Amity.  The island, complete with a gorgeous hotel where the couple got ready, a carnival area, and their reception location, is small enough to walk to two blocks from one area to another.  My kind of wedding!  I love when I can photograph the in between.  Things like the couple and their friends walking around, the wind blowing those gorgeous bride’s maids dresses, and stopping into an ice cream shop all made for more spontaneous and carefree photography!

Courtney and Colin, you two are so in love and so sweet together.  It was a joy to photograph your day.  From your bitchin’ dress, Courtney, to your attention to your new wife, Colin, you two are so special.  Thank you so much for entrusting me with your wedding photos.  It was a pleasure to be there for the beginning of your marriage!  Enjoy!
