November 10, 2018 by Nicole Caldwell

When Caleb met Ashley, he said “Your like Popcorn” “When I saw you for the first time, time stood still” referencing the Tim Burton Film Bigfish. The wedding at 7 degrees. Second Photographer Kip Roof. To make this Gif, I had the camera set up on the tripod and controlled the shutter via remote.

Just Married Vignette

October 15, 2018 by Nicole Caldwell

Thank you, Patil & Peter, for having me cruise with you to the reception in the Rolls Royce.  Agreeing to keep the top down without a care in the world, not worried about hair, and just being together, a truly magical moment at sunset on the CA freeway.

Two Wedding Dresses, Two Film Types

March 25, 2018 by Nicole Caldwell

In the studio with Angela for her formal bridal portrait, and because she wore two wedding dresses, we photographed her with two different film types:  8 x 10 polaroid and 4×5 black and white.   At her wedding, she wore traditional white, and a traditional, Cheongsam with dragon & phoenix design. New 55 film produces both a positive print, and a negative for scanning and printing.   We then shot 8 x 10 large format with with this camera:

Monarch Beach Resort Wedding

January 26, 2018 by Nicole Caldwell

The wedding of Courtney and Jacob at the Monarch Beach ( formerly St. Regis) Resort.
This was the final shot of the night, which ended up being my favorite of the entire event. I love nostalgia, and this one feels like a 50’s early 60’s photograph. A fun filled moment for the couple, well into their wedding reception.

Casa Romantica, San Clemente Wedding, Romantic Indeed.

December 17, 2017 by Nicole Caldwell

Erica and Matt were married at the beautiful Casa Romatica, located in San Clemente.  Some early morning showers brought some amazing clouds- as October always does.  The couple decided to forgo a bridal party ( wise choice)  Erica wanted her “bride tribe” to have no obligations, but to come and enjoy the party. AaaaaaMAZING pics! We couldn’t be happier with the way these came out! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! – Erica and Matt Casa Romantica Iva […]

Old County Courthouse wedding Part II

July 22, 2017 by Nicole Caldwell

If you are going to do a courthouse wedding, I highly recommend The Old Courthouse in Santa Ana.  They have a few rooms to tie the knot, and for more $ you can book the top floor, as seen in Legal Blonde and That Thing You Do.

Courthouse Wedding Part 1

June 25, 2017 by Nicole Caldwell

I have always wanted to photograph at the Historic Old Courthouse, and was thrilled when Monica and Peter contacted the studio to photograph their wedding.   This is the film image we shot on 4×5 new 55 film, which produces both a positive and negative. The detail is phenomenal.     The sinar p2 is more of a studio camera, and Kip Roof let me borrow his beautiful 4×5 for this shot ( and he set it up too.)   […]

Sherman Gardens Wedding | Corona Del Mar

February 24, 2017 by Nicole Caldwell

Angela and Chris were married at the beautiful Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona Del Mar.  The sunset was shortly after the ceremony, so Angela and Chris did a first look to take advantage of all the photo ops in the gardens, also enabling us to shoot the key family photos before the ceremony, which makes the day less rushed.  You take months and months of planning your wedding, why would you want to cram all your photos in to 45 […]

Brit marries American! |Seven Degrees Wedding Photographer | Nicole Caldwell

November 30, 2016 by Nicole Caldwell

Lacy and Wil planned their ceremony and reception at the modern 7 degrees wedding venue located in Laguna Beach.  They were smart and wanted to do a first look, so we could take advantage of all the cool photo backdrops that 7 degrees provides, the bamboo garden, the hallway, and the elevator staircase. The couple chose not to have a bridal party, and for their friends to come and enjoy the event with no obligations. White draped material adorned the ceremony site, […]
