I went to Santa Ana, CA this morning to get a permit to spread my dear Dad’s ashes at sea. And, the permit office is next to our 1st courthouse here in Orange County, CA. And, I have a bit of family history to share that went down here in this courthouse. A long time ago(1940s), my great great aunt Beulah Louise Overell & her fiancé George “Bud” Gollum were accused of murdering her parents, who were quite well off, by blowing them up on their yacht in Newport Harbor. They were tried together in this courthouse in 1947. The jury acquitted Beulah and George as their defense proved to the jury that her parents were already dead before the blast 💥. Needless to say, this was a harrowing time for my family. My father was a young boy but my Grandmother remembered it well as it was her first cousin on trial. It was considered the case of the century until the 1990s & the OJ trial in Los Angeles. Much has been written about Beulah & Bud. I have no idea what happened to him but I understand that he had done something like this before (convince a young naive girl to obtain her inheritance “early”)under an assumed name. Beulah had a tragic life. She married her jailer from the OC Jail, divorced and married again. She passed on fairly young in Las Vegas. Not all family history is rosy but sometimes it is part of the larger history of a place, a community. #oldorangecountycourthouse #oldsantaanacourthouse #occahistory #orangecountycalifornia #familyhistory #trialofthecentury #orangecountycalifornia (at Old Orange County Courthouse (Santa Ana, California)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_gvG8nlII/?utm_medium=tumblr

On this edition of #friendorfriday, we wanted to give a shout out to Johnny from @foofaders and Joey from @thegreyorange.events . Both are exceptional DJ's that we have worked with together on numerous #weddings. They know how to mix music that's wedding appropriate and that get people on to the dance floor. In addition to Djing, Joey is also does event/wedding production that includes up-lighting and drapery. Just the other day, Joey and I got to witness Johnny and his love make it official at the Old Orange County Court House. We've seen these two together at a handful of weddings over the years from photographing a bunch of their friends who have #tiedtheknot and they finally made the plunge. Johnny and Joey are the perfect example of #weddingvendors turned friends that equals #friendors. Congrats to the #newlyweds and happy Friday! #oldorangecountycourthouse #ocwedding #friyay #foofaders #thegreyorange #bluesoulphoto (at Orange County Historical Court House)
