Our two friends Michelle & Bendick recently got married and we couldn’t be happier for them!  They exchanged vows at the beautiful St. Mark’s Presbyterian in Newport Beach, and then the two rode into their reception in style…..as in a Bentley literally drove them into the banquet hall at the Marconi Automotive Museum!

As I was looking through the websites for the two venues, I discovered some interesting facts about them.  St. Mark’s Presbyterian was designed to be an eco-friendly church, incorporating elements like large windows to let in more natural light and planting native plants in an effort to help lower their impact on the environment.  The Marconi Automotive Museum started out as Dick Marconi’s private car collection.  He has a passion for helping children, so he eventually donated his car collection to the Marconi Foundation for Kids and created a non-profit car museum with his collection.  The Marconi Automotive Museum donates a large portion of their proceeds to local children’s charities, so if you have an event there, you’re actually supporting a great cause!

A great big thanks to Kenny Phan for shooting with me that day!
