Melissa and Andrew's wedding brought a classic formal style to the edge of Newport Harbor. Balboa Bay Club offered bright waterfront views, clean architectural lines, and a marina filled with yachts for portraits throughout the day.

The celebration balanced relaxed coastal light with an elegant indoor reception, giving the full gallery a distinctly Southern California character.
