Newport Beach Wedding Photographer / Engagement Party / Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer / St. Regis

Good morning everyone!  This is one totally excited Newport Beach Wedding Photographer in Orange County who couldn’t wait any longer to share Nancy & Edwin’s Engagement Party I photographed with them at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa in Laguna Beach down in Dana Point.

Nancy & Edwin were how shall I say… the kind of couple that I would imagine every photographer dreams of.  For starters, they gave me a full TWO HOURS to do portraits with them prior to the party.  Can I say “Wholly Nachos & Newcastles!”  What a totally great opportunity to not be rushed for the portraits and on top of that – the area we chose at the St. Regis was totally empty – pretty much giving us an entire perfectly manicured location all to ourselves.  All of this combined with Nancy in her Nicole Miller gown and Edwin in his Armani suit – took the shoot to the HNL!

Once we wrapped their portrait photographs, it was time for their Engagement Ceremony on the lawn overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  There was a full gathering of about 200 of their friends & relatives from around the country.  Their ceremony was decorated exquisitely by Elegant By Design and White Flite had about 2 dozen doves to be released at the end of their Engagement Ceremony.

Also, can I just say that Ms. Kelly Odell and Gundula Reile and the rest of the entire team of expert professionals at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort orchestrated a flawless symphony of service perfection.  From the moment everyone arrived – to the last dance and relaxing on the back lawn enjoying cigars from The Cigar Guys – everything was perfect.  They even made sure the timeline was so dialed in, that there was a break in the night where I could invite Nancy & Edwin on the back lawn with their Mercedes Benz to do some of my signature Night Romantic portraits of them under the moon-lit night sky.
