As a photographer with Jim Kennedy Photographers, I had the joy of capturing Kaleigh and Reese’s unforgettable wedding at the stunning Waterfront Hilton Resort in Huntington Beach. Their day was filled with vibrant color, modern details, and so much love.

Kaleigh and Reese shared a heartfelt first look right in front of the hotel, framed by the elegant architecture and ocean breeze. It was such a beautiful way to start their celebration, and it set the tone for the joy that carried through the rest of the day.

Their wedding design was bold and playful, with a bright coastal-inspired color palette of yellows, oranges, and pinks. From the cheerful floral arrangements to the modern white-and-yellow checked dance floor, every detail was filled with personality. Guests danced the night away to a live band, and the energy in the room was simply electric.

Photographing Kaleigh and Reese’s celebration was such a privilege. Their love, their laughter, and their vibrant vision came together perfectly—and capturing it all against the Huntington Beach backdrop was nothing short of magical.
