About 3 weeks ago, I received a phone call from Jane. She and Patrick were getting married in just a couple of weeks in Newport Beach, CA. Jane was hoping that we were available on short notice to fly out to the O.C to shoot her wedding. As luck would have it, we were available!
Dawn and I packed up, shipped off and spent a great weekend in sunny and gorgeous, Southern California. Jane and Patrick were married at The Balboa Bay Club on a stunning Saturday afternoon. The weather was perfect, the ceremony was beautiful, and it was just a great, fun day overall!
Then, on Sunday I turned 33! What a way to spend my birthday; sun, beach and a visit from Jon, one of my future groomsmen who came down from LA for the day.
Thank you again for everything, Jane and Patrick! Your wedding was fantastic. I can't wait to work on your video. Dawn and I really enjoyed ourselves with you and your families. Congratulations to you both!
Kind of like our trip....mixing business with pleasure.

This was the scene right off to the left side of the ceremony location! The next day, immediately after the ceremony Jane and Patrick ducked out for a trip around Balboa Bay on a private, Venetian style gondola ride.

Like I said, it was a lot of fun!

Jane and Patrick are married!! Well, not yet. Just the practice run.

After the rehearsal, Dawn and I headed to Balboa Island for dinner and some Balboa Bars. I was last on Balboa Island to visit my Aunt and Uncle when I was 6 years old. I still remember these frozen banana stands!

A world famous Balboa Bar!

Sunday was my 33rd Birthday. I'm getting old! But, it was another perfect day in Southern California.

The next morning we made a quick stop for breakfast in Laguna Beach before we took off.
