This Five Crowns wedding in Corona Del Mar has definitely become one of our favorites to date. We shoot a lot of weddings there, and every one is stunning, but Jordan and Jeff’s day was especially fun! They’re an incredibly kind and down-to-earth couple, and they brought that energy to their wedding day, making for such a beautiful experience for everyone.
An Intimate Five Crowns Wedding
Jordan and Jeff have been together for over eight years, and they share such a sweet bond. Jeff grew up in Huntington Beach, so getting married in Orange County had lots of meaning to them. They also knew they wanted their wedding day to be intimate and relaxed, with the focus being on their love and an intentional celebration with their closest family and friends.
Five Crowns restaurant in Corona Del Mar was the perfect venue for this. Modeled after a country inn in England, it features an English garden, beautiful period antiques, and several cozy fireplaces that add warmth and character throughout the space.
This venue shows how intimate weddings can still feel just as elevated and celebratory, especially when every moment is thoughtfully photographed through candid emotion, refined details, and timeless imagery.
A Five Crowns Wedding Day in Corona Del Mar
Jordan and Jeff began their day getting ready with their friends at separate Airbnbs just down the street from the restaurant. We captured some of Jordan’s getting-ready moments, and the Airbnb she chose was ideal for photos. It was beautifully styled, filled with natural light, and spacious enough for everyone, which made it easy to keep images clean and uncluttered. If you’re choosing a getting-ready space for your wedding, these are great details to look for.
From there, Jordan met Jeff at the bluff down the street from Five Crowns for a first look. This is always one of our favorite moments of a wedding day – the energy and connection between the two of you is so special and romantic.
Jordan and Jeff chose to host both their ceremony and reception right at the restaurant. Five Crowns has a beautiful ceremony site tucked in its garden area, giving the ceremony an especially intimate feel. Their ceremony was so heartfelt, with Jeff’s two brothers and Jordan’s brother joining them at the altar.
Five Crowns offers several reception spaces, and Jordan and Jeff opted for the indoor-outdoor flow of the combined greenhouse, patio, and garden space. Their planner, Emily Beddall of Events by Emily, did an amazing job designing the space to feel elegant and luxurious– yet cozy and intimate. This was exactly the vibe that Jordan and Jeff wanted for their November wedding, and it came together beautifully!

The rest of the evening was an absolute blast. Dinner was incredible, and their dance floor was a hit the whole night! Their DJ was amazing and kept the party going all evening. We were honored to be there to capture it all!
