Mr. & Mrs. Leeper

April 22nd, 2008

Nikki and Jeff’s wedding was full of unique elements that made for such a fun day! A vintage Porsche, a boat, and a cathedral length veil. Need I say more?

The day started off overcast and the weather forecasters promised drizzle, but as soon as we stepped outside to start Nikki’s pictures the sun came out to make Nikki and Jeff’s wedding day perfect! Nikki and Jeff were married at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Newport Beach. They left in style in Jeff’s Dads vintage Porsche! From there, the bridal party took a boat to the reception at the Balboa Bay Club. Talk about style! Most people get a limo, but Nikki and Jeff got a boat!

I’ve been so lucky to get to know Nikki and Jeff over the past few months! Their families are both so kind and welcoming and I feel so honored to have been part of their special day! A very special thank you to Brigid and Dave for the referral! It was great to see you two and I’m glad married life is treating you so well!

Nikki and Jeff, I hope you two are having an awesome time in Cancun and Jamaica! I can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back! Below are my favorites from your wedding day and a slide show! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Leeper!

The girls got ready at Jeff’s parents gorgeous home on the Newport Beach peninsula.

All of Nikki’s jewelry were family heirlooms. Her garter has been worn by several women in her family. How cool is that?

Nikki’s Mom made her veil! It was so gorgeous! I love working with cathedral length veils.

I love how everyone is always so happy when they see a bride and groom! Everyone was honking their horns and yelling congratulations. It always gives me goosebumps!

Nothing says, “Just married” like a surrey with fringe on top!

    I love all of your photos from this wedding- each one of them seems so perfect… The bride and groom and attendants and scenery and the porsche- all of it makes it look like it’s straight out of some wedding magazine- it’s almost like a parody on the perfect wedding. My favorites are definitely of the bridal party in front of the restaurant and whatnot- such an awesome juxtaposition!
