I love Mormon weddings. I really do. They are always classy, beautiful and full of genuine love. Maybe it’s the Newport Beach Temple that made this particular Mormon wedding so magical. The stained glass windows, the green grass and the tall palm trees make it feel like paradise. Or maybe, it’s simply the good vibes that seem to circulate around the building put out by the happy families waiting to see the newlyweds step out of the Temple door. Whatever it may be, I am so thankful that Tiffany from Eliza J. Photography invited me to document their wedding day with her.

Lexi and Jared, you are perfect. There is no other way to say it. Your love is like a magnet, and everyone is drawn to it. Thank you for giving me the honor of documenting your first day as husband and wife. Much Love and Appreciation…Michaela.

“We’re married!” he screamed at the top of his lungs making his new bride blush…

So much excitement in the air…

After they finished thanking everyone for coming, they took a moment to enjoy their new title as husband and wife…

Aren’t they just perfect together?!

They insisted on another kiss in front of the beautiful Newport Beach Temple doors…

The reception was held in a huge grass field in Southern Orange County, California…

They were driven there in this awesome white car…while the rest of the guests followed behind in their own vehicles…

It was the perfect day for a wedding…clear blue skies, and a nice breeze in the air…

They had fresh homemade lemonade for all of their guests during cocktail hour…

The wedding coordinator did a fantastic job styling all of the vignettes…

Each vignette was a nod towards Lexi and Jared’s relationship…highlighting their favorite things…

World travel, love, and vintage suitcases, what more could a girl as for?

There were so many details…swoon!

The bride and groom sat at the head of the table over looking all of their guests…

They dined on gourmet bbq food and fresh watermelon slices…

The cake was so divine…

…and the dessert bar looked delicious…

Their wedding guests each received a jar of honey to symbolize the sweetness to come in their marriage…

As the sun set, and the guests began to leave, Lexi and Jared shared one last dance together…

Thank you to the amazing wedding team who put together this incredible event…
