Breakers West: Yuan + Jonathan Wedding

On April 25th 2010 love was in the air when two beautiful people became married on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon! Yuan and Jonathan’s love story is sweet as it is beautiful. Yuan got ready at the exquisite Jupiter Spa and Resort. As soon as she was in her lovely dress,  I did not waist a single second to start photographing her through out the hotel. I have to admit, she  had some of the best bridesmaids ever. They were always attentive  to anything the bride needed. Yuan looked like a gorgeous swan as she stood on top of some rocks with her dress flowing gracefully with the wind. I had her and the girls dance as she played around with the veil. Soon there after, Alex enjoyed capturing Jonathan play a few rounds of poker with his groomsmen at the Breakers West. It’s always fun taking pictures of the grooms getting ready. It’s a side of the story many seem to forget. Yuan and Jonathan proclaimed their love and commitment towards each other at this stunning country club. Everything about this wedding was elegant from the beautiful flowers, the sweet notes played by a harpist to the pristine reception hall. After a lovely ceremony, I took Yuan and Jonathan over to the Breakers West’s immaculate golf course; I was having so much fun with the couple we took so many beautiful images.  I noticed, that during Yuan’s getting ready she would only listen to music artist, Michael Buble. So later, as a surprise for Yuan and Jonathan, during dinner, we put together a same day slide show with her wedding highlights choreographed to Feeling Good, this happened to be one of her most memorable moments ever. At the end of the night, with a full moon lit, there was a smile painted on every face as they cheered for Yuan and Jonathan departing in a very classy white 1952 Bentley! Alex and I had so much fun being part of this special day we wish you a happy, exciting and lovely journey together!

Here you notice the lovely bridesmaids helping Yuan with her wedding gown.

Yuan lovessss fashion and she knows, we as photographers admire the fashion industry as much as she does. Here we asked her to sit on a dresser and to lean up on the mirror. This picture is simply breathtaking.

This particular bride loves the beach and the ocean breeze. After a quick session through the hotel, we went out back and did some fun shots with Yuan and her bridesmaids.

Yuan isn’t just arriving in a fancy stretch limo, but she is also wearing the cutest Betsy Johnson wedding shoes ever!

Here you see Jonathan with the boys almost ready for his big day, a little card game before wouldn’t hurt.

When you can capture the emotion of a person and know exactly what they are thinking. I just love moments like those.

Yuan and Jon took a little ride on a golf cart to a nearby turf where they rested as we photographed them.

Yuan and Jon shared their first dance as Husband and wife. How romantic.

To finish off the night all the family and friends gathered around to wish Yuan and Jon a farewell.

  • Stephen Dori Shin - June 14, 2010 - 8:08 AM

    It was a beautiful day and Hazel and her team captured it perfectly! They really got the personalities of both the bride and groom and I can’t say enough about how professional they were. Every detail was noticed and captured with a fantastic eye for composition, light and Drama.
    One of the best moments was Hazel showing a short finished imovie/slideshow perfectly in sync with the music during the reception so that the guests could see the bride and grooms prep time and what led up to the wedding but also so that the bride and groom could see their amazing ceremony and appreciate how beautiful it is while it is still happening.
    I would highly recommend Hazel and her team 150%. These photos will be a treasure for years to come… and you can quote me “Absolutely the way you dream your wedding photos will turn out to be”
