By now, the lot of you have seen this photo:

That was taken on April 27, 2002 at the Hyatt Regency, Newport Beach. It is one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL places to have a wedding, or just get away for a romantic weekend. If you clicked on the link to the official site up yonder, you might think it’s some boring business-y place with no pizzazz. They’ve really got to get their photographers on the job.

That’s why I took some of my own shots, 10 years, one day since that picture up top was taken.

This place has a day spa, gym, tennis, volley ball, three large, heated pools, restaurant, ping pong, shuffleboard, bars, hang out spots with outdoor “living rooms,” gorgeous gardens, plus it’s close to the grand-daddy of shopping, Fashion Island.
