Jed & Azalea’s Hangar 21 South Wedding in Fullerton

An open-air ceremony, a helicopter arrival, and cinematic portraits made this Hangar 21 South wedding unmistakably Jed and Azalea’s.

Jed and Azalea’s wedding at Hangar 21 South moved between two very different moods: bright, open-air celebration and the dramatic lines of the Fullerton airfield after dark. The hangar’s industrial setting gave the day a strong sense of place, while vivid flowers, patterned shirts, and purple leis brought color and personality into every chapter.

They celebrated on June 17, 2023, at Hangar 21 South in Fullerton, Orange County.

Getting ready: details against an industrial backdrop

The early photographs begin with Azalea’s dress, rings, and floral details, then turn to a portrait in the preparation space. Concrete texture and quiet, neutral surroundings allow the bouquet and floral crown to carry the color. Jed’s preparations add a playful counterpoint, with patterned shirts and candid moments among his attendants. These images establish the visual rhythm of the day before guests gather for the ceremony.

An outdoor ceremony at Hangar 21 South

The ceremony took place outdoors beneath a clear sky. A wooden floral arch framed Jed and Azalea, while guests filled the open-air setting. Wide photographs show the ceremony environment; closer frames keep attention on expressions, hands, and the small moments between them. The contrast between the simple architectural backdrop and colorful floral design is part of what makes this Fullerton wedding visually memorable.

A helicopter arrival and reception in motion

After the ceremony, the helicopter arrival changed the pace of the story. The couple stepped onto the tarmac together, with the blue aircraft, strong afternoon light, and long shadows creating a setting unlike a conventional wedding portrait location. The images move from the scale of the airfield to more intimate frames of Jed and Azalea, preserving both the excitement and the people at its center.

Inside the hangar, the reception brought the same bright palette into a larger industrial space. Tables, flowers, guests, and movement give context to the celebration. Photographing the room before it fills and again while guests gather makes the setting part of the story rather than a neutral backdrop.

Portraits after dark

Later, the airfield became the setting for a final series of night portraits. The dark background and deliberately lit couple create a cinematic close to a gallery that began in open daylight.

Hangar 21 South offers an unusual range within one wedding day: preparation rooms, an outdoor ceremony space, a large hangar, and an aviation backdrop. Jed and Azalea’s gallery shows how those settings can form one connected story without losing the personal details that make the wedding theirs.
