Kick on your dancing shoes because Kelsey and Chet’s timeless wedding at Five Crowns Restaurant in Corona Del Mar was not your average black-tie affair—it was a symphony of love, laughter, and a splash of baby blue magic.

Intimate, Classic, and Timeless…

Sometimes you come across clients that you know feel like they’re plucked right out of a movie scene, and that was photographing Kelsey and Chet. From the slick and polished look of the groom to the endless elegance of the bride, this wedding was a dream to photograph. Plus, Five Crowns Restaurant in Corona Del Mar is ALWAYS a good time. Seriously, it’s so beautiful.

A Family Affair:

Their two daughters weren’t just flower girls; they were the dynamic duo of cuteness. Surrounded by friends, family, and enough love to power a small country, Kelsey and Chet’s life together was on full display.

The Venue:

Picture this: a charming escape in Corona Del Mar, where Five Crowns Restaurant became the stage for Kelsey and Chet’s epic love story. It’s not just a venue; it’s a love sanctuary sprinkled with classic charm and a dash of California cool.

The atmosphere was as intimate as a secret handshake, as classic as grandma’s apple pie, and as timeless as that dance move you swear you invented. The black and white decor, decked out with greenery that would make Mother Nature jealous, set the scene for this picture-perfect love-fest.

Live Painter:

Adding an extra stroke of genius to the day, a live painter captured the love in action. Think Picasso meets wedding vibes, as the artist transformed the ceremony into a masterpiece, painting the couple’s family and friends with the stroke of a brush. Move over, Mona Lisa; there’s a new masterpiece in town.

Something Blue:

Just when you thought Kelsey couldn’t outdo herself as a bride, she pulls a Houdini and changes into a baby blue dress during the reception. It was like Cinderella switching from her ball gown to her party dress, only with more pizzazz and a lot less pumpkin.

Touching Sendoff:

As the night bid adieu, there were tears, cheers, and maybe a few rogue dance moves. Kelsey and Chet departed not just as a couple but as the architects of a love story that echoed with authenticity, positive vibes, and enough joy to light up the night sky. It was an honor to photograph them at The Five Crowns Restaurant in Corona Del Mar.

So, here’s to Kelsey and Chet—the duo that proved weddings are not just about saying ‘I do’ but about celebrating the ‘we’ surrounded by laughter, love, and a whole lot of fabulous fun! May your journey together continue to be a wild ride filled with love, laughter, and, of course, a touch of whimsy. Cheers to forever, you two! 🎉
