Laguna Beach Wedding Photographer
There's a reason Laguna Beach is one of the most sought-after wedding destinations in California. Dramatic sea cliffs, hidden coves, golden sunsets, and world-class venues create a backdrop that's impossible to replicate. I photograph weddings throughout Laguna with the editorial eye and emotional depth that these extraordinary celebrations deserve.

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, the Montage is Laguna's most iconic luxury venue. Ocean-view ceremonies, elegant ballrooms, and manicured grounds provide endless photography opportunities from sunrise to sunset.
Surf & Sand Resort
Oceanfront ceremonies with waves crashing just feet away. Surf & Sand offers an intimate, romantic setting where the Pacific Ocean is the backdrop for every moment of your celebration.

Beach & Cliffside Ceremonies
For couples who want nature as their venue. Victoria Beach with its iconic pirate tower, Crescent Bay's panoramic views, Treasure Island's secluded bluffs, and Thousand Steps' hidden beach — Laguna's coastline is the most romantic wedding venue of all.
Why Laguna Beach for Your Wedding
Laguna Beach has a magic that's hard to put into words. The artist colony heritage gives the town a creative, independent spirit. The coastline — seven miles of coves, cliffs, and tide pools — provides an ever-changing natural backdrop. And the light here is extraordinary, especially during golden hour when the Pacific turns to liquid gold and the cliffs glow warm amber.
As a photographer based just 15 minutes away in Irvine, I shoot in Laguna regularly and know its moods — the way morning fog burns off to reveal crystal-clear coastline, the best sunset viewpoints for couple portraits, and the hidden spots that feel private even in peak season.
