Newport Beach Temple | Sydney + Nick | Wedding Day
by Pepper
I’m sorry, I know I said this would get up yesterday, but I have a REALLY good reason for it. That I will totally fill you in on later. But for now, we are going to share in Sydney and Nick’s wedding day! I know I’ve mentioned before how much I love Sydney fashion sense, but this wedding was just too much fun!
The day started at the LDS Newport Beach Temple. For those who are not familiar with LDS weddings, no photography or videography of any kind is allowed during the ceremony itself, so the picture taking begins once the bride and groom exit the building! I think the LDS Church might feel a little bad for all of us photographers who don’t get to come inside, so they spend a fortune on the exterior and landscaping to make up for it!
Sydney’s colors were navy and bright yellow, and she really had fun with that color palette! She wanted to keep the feel of her wedding laid-back, very California beach, so the groomsmen were instructed white shirts only, Nick got an awesome new suit instead of a tuxedo, and the bridesmaids were decked out in J Crew bridesmaids dresses which I am 100% sure they will absolutely have the opportunity to wear again!
Sydney and her daddy, Daryl, who wears his heart on his sleeve!
OMG I love love love LOVE Sydney’s hair!!!!! And this was funny, as we were walking around outside the temple, we ran into another bride and groom, and it turns out that the two couples know each other!!! I think the other bride was very pretty, but nothing compares to my Sydney!!!
Stay tuned, we go to the beach! And I’ll tell you the crazy story of what happened to my blog post yesterday…

Camilla, it is gorgeous, but have you seen the new Draper Utah Temple? It’s got a fancier name than that, but i can’t remember what it is, but it looks like a Museum of Modern Art and is stunning! I just shot a wedding there and am working on the blog post for it, btu when you see the pictures you’ll see why the Draper Utah temple is absolutely 100% my favorite-est temple to photograph weddings at! And while this isn’t popular to say, I love it even more than the Salt Lake Temple. As a photographer, it’s just perfect. Imagine if they decided to build a temple and drew inspiration from the NY MOMA or the Getty. Definitely a temple for the 21st century.
