ExpoBridal - Bridal Gown Fashion Show

Everyone knows that I am introverted. Most people know that my preference is to be at home, snuggled up with our daughter, with a good book and probably some brownies baking in the oven. So it is a learning curve to get out of my shell and present Nick Corona Photography at a bridal show. So there I stand....Mrs. Introvert....surrounded by dozen of eager brides looking to find their perfect vendors. Luckily, ExpoBridal has some of the most fun bridal shows in Southern California! It makes it easier to let Mrs. Introvert take a rest, and force out Loud-Fun-Mrs. Nick Corona Photography!

We got to meet some more awesome vendors, and ExpoBridal has a stellar fashion show! It was great to get to meet some of the local photographers and plan some fun date nights while we are at WPPI in Vegas!

Nick was able to shoot their fashion show (while Mrs. Introvert sat quietly in the back), and they came out awesome!








Enjoy!

Oh to be Engaged!

Getting engaged is one of the most fun times of your life, up until the wedding day, of course. The romantic idea of being together forever, the precious image of holding hands at 80 years old as you cross the street, the beautiful wedding dream within grasp, are all floating around in your mind from the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep (and even while your asleep for that matter!!) It is only fitting to celebrate this fun, beautiful, loving -albeit sometimes chaotic - time in your life with some Engagement Pictures! Engagement sessions are geared towards capturing the romantic love shared between the two of you and the fun energy you bring to each other. They can be traditional or contemporary, but the main thing is they REFLECT you and your relationship!

We love engagement sessions because they give us a little one on one time with our brides and grooms, as well as give the bride and groom an opportunity to get familiar with our camera equipment. An even greater bonus is that the engagement photos can be used at your wedding as centerpieces, made into awesome sign-in books, played as a slideshow during your reception... the possibilities are endless!

Right now we are offering 1/2 off our engagement session when you book your engagement session and wedding package together - contact us for details!

Here are a few of our recent engagement sessions that we wanted to share with you!

Aiyana & Jason - Laguna Beach











Audrey & Jeremy - Balboa Beach











Missy & Jake - Downtown Riverside

Jessica Bartolome - Trash the Dress

Trashing your wedding dress is becoming more and more popular. Most of our brides are making a bold statement when they decide to trash their dress. They are saying, "I am married; I will NEVER need another wedding dress!" What an awesome way to show your husband you meant your commitment!

Some of our brides are looking for the edgier, unconventional, "no one else has this" photo... we are at your service! We LOVE the opportunity to take photos in one of the most expensive dresses you have probably ever bought and go to obscure locations just to give you that perfect picture that will "WOW!" your friends. That is what trashing the dress is all about!! Here is one of our latest trash the dress session.






















A little dirty, maybe a little grimy... but nothing a dry cleaner cannot get out!

"Summer Love" Bridal Show by Expobridal

Our bridal show this weekend was so much fun! The Summer Love bridal show, hosted by Expobridal was an affair to remember! Crazy vendors filled the ballroom at the Hilltop Hilton at Universal Studios and we had a blast getting to talk to hundreds of brides. Here at Nick Corona Photography we pride ourselves on every detail of our booth. From our catchy slide show to our life-size display prints, we captured the eyes and comments of brides and vendors alike. This is our second bridal show in a row where we have been deemed to have the best booth. Talk about exciting!

Below is a snippet video from a crazed booth fan. Pictures to follow shortly. What do you think, would it attract your attention?

Adrienne & Frank - Hotel Laguna

After a few years in wedding photography throughout all of Southern California, we have found a couple venues that we would recommend to our brides. From San Diego to Los Angeles we have scouted venues, finding the perfect scenic backdrops at Upland Hills Country Club, Green River Golf Course, Hidden Valley Golf Course, The Castaway, California Baptist University, Mission Inn, The Mitten Building, University of Redlands, Monteleone Meadows, and UCLA, just to name a few.

Wedding photography, in particular, can highlight all the fantastic architecture and scenery at the venue .Hotel Laguna is definitely one of them! Adrienne and Frank got married mid-July at Hotel Laguna on perhaps one of the hottest days of the year. Adrienne was a great sport, and despite melting most of the day, she gleamed from ear to ear as her eyes locked with Franky's when she walked down the aisle. Sparks flew as if it was July 4th, and we were glad to be there to capture their love for each other.
