Ben and Megan planned their wedding in California at the Newport Beach LDS Temple.  We arrived for photos just as the couple made the exit from the temple right after their wedding ceremony.  The LDS temple in Newport has such beautiful grounds for wedding photos.  We loved it!!!
The couple also requested photos at the beach, so we headed to the Wedge in Newport Beach.  We had so much fun with this couple as they enjoyed the day in the sand.  A bride, running barefoot at the beach in her wedding dress is such a fabulous moment.  We got some great shots of these two in LOVE and having fun.

To celebrate with all of their family and friends they had an intimate wedding reception at Il Fornaio in Irvine, CA.  This is a great venue for a wedding of various sizes as they can accommodate your ceremony as well as a small to larger guest count for your reception.  Oh and the food is spectacular and I am not just saying that because I am Italian.  We have eaten there on several occasions.

Congratulations to Ben and Megan!!! We hope you enjoy the photos.  J+D
