A Richard Nixon Library Wedding in Yorba Linda

On March 30, 2025, Alexis and Joey married at the Richard Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, and their little dog Kona was part of the day from the first photo to the last. In white, champagne and black, the day moved from a first look on the lawn to portraits by the presidential helicopter and in the Oval Office replica, a garden ceremony under a white floral arch and a reception in the East Room replica, with a first dance on a cloud of fog, a money dance and a full dance floor. Here is their Richard Nixon Library wedding, photographed by One and Only Production.

The Details and Alexis Gets Ready

An illustrated invitation of the Nixon Library, calligraphy envelopes and white florals set the tone. Alexis wore a lace gown with a long train, and Kona found a spot to rest right on it.

Joey and the Wedding Party

Joey wore a white tuxedo jacket and met his groomsmen by the flags at the library entrance. The wedding party, in champagne and black, gathered outside the White House replica.

First Look and Kona

Alexis came up the garden steps through the bougainvillea for their first look on the lawn, and then Kona joined them in a tiny bow tie.

Portraits at the Presidential Helicopter and Oval Office

The Nixon Library gave us places you will not find anywhere else: the presidential helicopter on the grounds and a replica of the Oval Office.

Ceremony Details

White roses lined the aisle, a white floral arch framed the ceremony, and the reflecting pool and flags were just steps away.

Garden Ceremony

The wedding party walked down the aisle under the gazebo before Alexis came down the floral aisle to Joey. They exchanged vows under the white floral arch and walked back up the aisle as husband and wife.

The Gardens and the East Room

After the ceremony we walked the reflecting pool and gardens, then Alexis and Joey saw the East Room replica, set with crystal chandeliers and white orchids, before anyone else.
