Turnip Rose Wedding Photography | Dorothy + Henry

Dorothy and Henry are dear friends of mine since college. Thanks to the power of the internet, Henry was the officiant who married Jonathan and I, and Dorothy and I were each other’s bridesmaid. We’ve been Mammoth buddies for many years and that’s what brought us close. Gosh I miss those trips to Mammoth. We used to depart on Friday at 3am, arrive at Mammoth at 8am and snowboard all day. We usually then stay two nights there, but we once drove right back! I miss the days when we all had season passes and went every other week or so, but I also love all the new adventures we’ve all taken since. And we still make effort to go annually, so it all works out. All about balance, right?

So Dorothy & Henry got married a year ago, but Dorothy hadn’t gotten around to preserving her wedding dress. So before preserving her dress, Dorothy wanted to do another shoot in it. We took a trip back to the Turnip Rose where they got married a year ago, and then headed out to Newport Beach.

Because of all the very tragic Southern CA fires going on, I was worried about the air quality. The air in Newport Beach ended up looking good while we were at Turnip Rose, but as soon as it was sunset… well, you’ll see.

I love the foyer at Turnip Rose. I asked Henry & Dorothy to demonstrate their awesome ballroom dancing skills!

I love her blue shoes. Such a cute touch!

Then we headed out to the beach.

Although the sky looked clear, as soon as sun set, it was apparent how NOT clear it was… BUT, it did make for some really unique sunset pictures!

Congrats to you both on your first year of marriage!
