Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of working with a beautifully amazing couple and documented their wedding and related events. Claire and Ryan hosted their friends and family in Newport Beach for a weekend of fun and memories at Pelican Hill Resort. The night before their wedding, a rehearsal dinner was hosted in their honor and it was perfect in every way.

Guests were escorted from Pelican Hill Resort to the beach and greeted with champagne, a seafood bar, endless wine, and steel drum musicians. With toes buried in the sand, friends saw the bride and groom-to-be laugh and toast with reckless abandon. The event was so perfect, the Pelican Hill Resort Magazine highlighted it as a featured event.

Many thanks to Alison Howard Events for planning such a stunning event and White Lilac for designing a perfect coastal affair.
