Real Weddings: Elizabeth + Matt

Elizabeth and Matt were married on a perfect June afternoon at the Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach.  They have known each other since the seventh grade and chose Big Canyon for their wedding location because Elizabeth’s parents have been members for fifteen years and they wanted to add to the many special memories they have had there.  I love the rich navy blue and bright yellow color palette and the beautiful photos from Barnet Photography!

After a cocktail hour on the lawn, guests moved in to the clubhouse for the reception, which featured gorgeous champagne and gold tables with orange and red accents, and lots of beautiful orchids.
