Wayfarers Chapel Rancho Palos Verdes / Wedding Photographer / Lisa + Dan

     On a lovely October day, I had the privilege of photographing Lisa and Dan's intimate wedding at the beautiful Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes. Here's a little background on how these two met: Dan was on leave from his Army base in Cyprus, and Lisa was based near his home town with the Royal Air Force. They met at a gathering with mutual friends, they hit it off right away, and the rest was history. Together they enjoyed going to the movies, eating out, traveling, and overall they love the company of each other.

      What Dan see in Lisa is a kind individual, sweet, a loving person. She makes him want to be a better man in every ways and if the baby they are expecting is anything like Lisa, Dan will be a very happy man! Lisa truly admired Dan, he is intelligent and she learned something from him every day... not to mention that they laugh so much together. Now that Lisa and Dan are married, they are looking forward to living in the same place and going new adventures together. Another exciting news that Lisa and Dan would like to share to the world is that they are expecting their first baby in March 2017. Double CONGRATULATIONS Lisa and Dan!!! We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness. Thank you for allowing me to capture your special and memorable day. Please enjoy some great photos through the Janice Owen Photography experience. Cheers!

The Villa Westminster / Wedding Photographer / Alice + Randy

     On a beautiful warm sunny day in Costa Mesa, I had the pleasure and honor of assisting my good friend and mentor Carissa Woo as her second photographer. The lovely married couple is Alice and Randy. They’ve been together since high school, for over 15 years! We started out at the Ayres Hotel in Manhattan Beach and ended up at The Villa in Westminster. We even took some photos at the Segerstrom Center For The Arts. There were a lot of pretty pink pastels, which went nicely with the groomsmen’s grey outfits. It was a beautiful wedding with the couple's families and friends. Overall, this gorgeous wedding was bursting with colors, fun, and especially lots of love. Congrats to the lovely couple Alice and Randy! Please enjoy some great photos through the Janice Owen Photography lens. Thank you.

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!
