Welcome to my blog!
My name is Jeffrey Neal and I am an Orange County Photographer!

This is where you can see all that I am doing in the world of photography!  On my blog you will find the latest images from all the shoots that I have, information for my clients and any other crazy ideas or projects that I have.  
This last Saturday I was at St.Edwards Catholic Church in Dana Point to shoot Ingrid and Tony's wedding.  They both live on the east coast as Tony is an f-18 pilot (he might be flying an f-15 now).  I have been so excited for there wedding and to see them again.  When we met for their consultation they were so cute together and so excited to be getting married in southern California.  I love when I get weddings at St.Edwards because there is so much natural light which makes it perfect to shoot in.  

Ingrid was such a great bride and totally relaxed the whole day.  It always makes my job easy when my clients are this good looking!

Stay tuned for part two!

Last Saturday I shot Julie and Williams super fun wedding!  The wedding was at the Irvine Hyatt and was so much fun.  I love when weddings are very personal and have a lot of thought put into them by the bride and the groom.  The story could go on and on.  Julie is a elementary school teacher and William works in sales and both are very successful!  When I met these two there love story was very contagious.  William actually proposed at her school involving all of her students and surprised the heck out of her.  The kids were wearing shirts that said "Ms. Blume got engaged and all I got was this stupid T-Shirt".  

If you have noticed I shot their engagement session last week at the Orange Circle and I was so stoked on how the images came out!  The wedding day was so much fun, Julie and William saw each other before the ceremony so we were able to go to the District to take a bunch of fun images.  I love when couples see each other before the ceremony and also agree to where I think they should take their photos.  We had so much fun cruising around the District and finding cool places to shoot at.  As I was shooting I was getting so excited and that made Julie and William very excited as well.  

I love when I do weddings with good vendors and Julie and William had spent a lot of time picking out good vendors.  I will put a list at the bottom so you can know who helped this wedding go as well and look as good as it did.


Also so very thankful to Laura my past bride for shooting with me on this wedding!  She did such an amazing job!

I was so stoked the other night when I was at dinner with my amazing clients Laura and Scott to get an email letting me know that an image of mine placed 3rd in an AGWPJA contest.  It is always a great felling when others like your work as much as you do.  Check it out!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting Megan and Andrew's beautiful wedding at Arroyo Trabuco in Orange County.  I have known Megan's family for a long time and was so excited when they hired me to shoot their daughters wedding.  I really got to know Megan and Andrew when we did their engagement session in Hollywood.  They are a super cool couple and totally in love with each other.  

Saturday was a beautiful day and the wedding day was super relaxed and thanks to Allison from Arroyo Trabuco.  I also the the pleasure of working with Peter Merry again who seriously does the best wedding reception's ever.  Check out his book if you haven't already.  Ok, enough talk here are the images.

Also huge thanks to Jenny Liu for assisting me!

This past Saturday I was at the Hyatt Huntington Beach shooting a beautiful wedding with a fellow wedding photographer and good guy Donny from from Heavenly Portraits.  I always love second shooting because there is no pressure and it reminds me of why of love wedding photography.  When I second shoot I always try out new techniques and play with light as much as I can.  As an added bonus being at the Huntington Beach Hyatt is always so gorgeous.  Here are a few from the day that I just love and you can see the rest at the bottom.
