I had the pleasure of 2nd shooting Kyle and Jenna’s wedding day at Newport Beach House with Polar Square Designs and it was the kind of celebration that felt easy from start to finish. They’re the type of couple who bring a calm, fun energy into every room they’re in, and that showed in every part of their day. The day was filled with genuine laughs, quiet in-between moments, and a whole lot of joy shared with the people they love most.


Newport Beach House is such a special place to get married. With the ocean just steps away, the light pouring in from every direction, and the seamless indoor-outdoor flow, it creates an atmosphere that feels both elevated and relaxed. It’s one of those venues that doesn’t need much to shine — the setting speaks for itself.


After the ceremony, Kyle and Jenna took a few moments to soak everything in together, which made for some of my favorite portraits of the day. Nothing forced, nothing rushed, just the two of them enjoying where they were and what they had just promised each other, with the coastline as their backdrop.
