Wedding

Eagle's Nest Clubhouse @ The Navy Golf Course Cypress / Wedding Photographer / Jackie + Randy

     On a beautiful summer day in September, we had the privilege of photographing Jackie and Randy's spectacular wedding day at the Eagle's Nest Clubhouse at the Navy Golf Course in Cypress.  A little background on how Jackie and Randy met: So what brought this East Coast boy and West Coast girl together? Love, of course. As fate would have it, these two future lovebirds first met one another at a ceremony where they gathered to celebrate the union of Michelle & Andy Cortez. Just before the ceremony began, Jackie searched for open seats where she and her sister could watch the couple take their vows. Serendipitously, there were a few empty seats right next to where Randy was seated in the audience. “Andy with an R,” as Randy identified himself, reached his hand out to meet “Ackie with a J,” as Jackie retorted. Needless to say, the two instantly clicked, spending the rest of the evening together sharing stories while eagerly trying to get to know each other. From there, the rest was history!

     Even when Jackie moved nearly 200 miles away for law school, the geographical distance between them only drew their bond even closer together. Jackie unabashedly admits that it takes a “very special man,” to date her. Fearlessly independent and career driven, Jackie recognizes the value of having a supportive partner like Randy in her life. In fact, it was during her most exhausting, taxing California Bar exam preparations that Jackie recognized how indispensable Randy’s love and support was in her life. Both settling into their careers now, the two live together in Long Beach and enjoy refining their cooking skills together. As for hobbies, both Jackie and Randy like to explore, bike ride, work out, watch Netflix and do fun adventures. Things that Jackie and Randy like about each other are Randy like his wife's smile and personality. Jackie love that fact that her husband is patient and listens well. But most importantly he has such a kind soul. Now that these two are happily married, they envision their future with lots of traveling, fun times, with two kids, one day and a tree house. 

       Jackie and Randy, they are simply perfect for each other. It was such a fantastic and fun opportunity to witness the love and joy of these two beautiful individuals. Big congratulations to Jackie and Randy!!! We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness. Thank you for allowing us to capture your special and memorable day. Please enjoy some great photos through the Janice Owen Photography experience. Cheers!

Beverly Hills Courthouse / Wedding Photographer / Dana + Mike

     On a beautiful summer day in August, we had the privilege of photographing Dana & Mike's intimate wedding day ceremony at the Beverly Hills Courthouse.  A little background on how Mike and Dana met: they both went to University of the Pacific. They had different majors and completely different classes, but as fate would have it they ended up in the same Freshman seminar class, "Hippies, Beatniks, and Cool." Even though Dana and Mike were in the same class, they didn't actually meet each other until the end of the year when they were assigned to the same finals project group. Dana didn't know anyone else in the group, but Mike was nice enough to reach out to Dana through Facebook. They seemed to just really click and Dana remembers the first time they talked to each other on the phone, it was like they were long lost friends! From there, the rest was history!

      Dana and Mike's hobbies couldn't be anymore different! Mike loves outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, and backpacking while Dana enjoys spending her time doing things like puzzling (jigsaw puzzles), binge watching movies & shows on Netflix, and playing games like Tetris or Candy Crush. Things that Dana and Mike like about each other are that their personalities generally just balance each other out, and also have their shared love of dogs!

      For the "right-now" plans after marriage, Dana and Mike's focus is to pay off their debt (such as a new house & student loans).  In the future, they hope to take road-trips around the U.S., maybe travel abroad, and just spend less time at work and more time with each other! Dana and Mike are also looking forward to giving their parents more grand puppies.

      Wedding ceremonies at the Beverly Hills Courthouse are wonderfully intimate and personal, and this one was witnessed by a few close family members and friends of Dana and Mike. Overall, it was a fantastic and fun opportunity to witness the love and joy of these two beautiful individuals. Big congratulations to Dana and Mike!!! We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness. Thank you for allowing us to capture your special and memorable day. Please enjoy some great photos through the Janice Owen Photography experience. Cheers!
