Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

Surfin’ the Sand | Nina & Ren

December 28, 2011

It was quite an insane weekend when Kelly and Dean’s wedding at La Venta Inn at Palos Verdes, Kristina and Grant’s wedding at US Grant Hotel in San Diego, and Nina and Ren’s wedding in beautiful Surf and Sand Resort located in Laguna Beach (Orange County)! With those three weddings we were given the opportunity to photograph, we were exposed to so many different cultures and color! Nina and Ren’s wedding at Surf and Sand was a prefect way of ending our wedding photography weekend with a huge bang! Of the three weddings, Nina and Ren’s traditional Indian wedding was, of course, the most colorful.

Nina and her gals started their day early with breakfast, junk food, and plenty of hairspray! I would say that is a perfect combo for any girl at the wedding! While the ladies goofed off and practiced a dance they performed for the reception, we photographed their wedding details and their amazing smiles.

Nina’s wedding bouquet had a photograph of her mother who touched her life. That was a really sentimental detail for Nina’s big day.

Nina and Ren had their “first look” prior to the wedding ceremony. It was a private showcase that consisted of just the wedding party and us photographers. =)

With the extra time we had before the wedding ceremony, we ran around Surf and Sand Resort for some cool wedding photos! We made use of the driveways and the bellhop carts for the following wedding pictures.

Here comes the bride! It is always an awesome moment to watch and photograph different cultures celebrate their wedding.

Ren was a real joker, even at his wedding! In an Indian wedding, the groom marks a red spot on the bride, but he rubbed the red dye all over her nose like Rudolph the red nose reindeer. =D

After the wedding ceremony, we ran around Laguna Beach to wrap up their wedding photos.

After their wedding pictures were done, we had just enough time to get these two ready for their grand entrance. Nina and Ren danced the night away with the rest of their wedding guests. Congratulations on your big day, Nina and Ren! Your wedding at Surf and Sand in Laguna Beach was definitely one to remember.

Blue Cake | Brittney & Jeff

September 29, 2008

Howdy,

On Saturday, Steve Hoffmann and I photographed Britney and Jeff’s wedding! Being sweethearts since high school, the two of them finally tied the knot in Laguna Beach at Occasions.

Occasions at Laguna Village
577 S Coast Hwy
Laguna Beach, CA 92651
(949) 376-4536

Occasions at Laguna Village (Orange County) is an awesome location that overlooks the ocean. I recommend it to any bride who wants a beach wedding 😀

While Steve handled Britney’s preparation session, I was with Jeff and the guys. They got ready at

Inn at Laguna Beach
11 North Coast Highway
Laguna Beach, California 92651

Inn at Laguna Beach also overlooks the ocean, so it’s a totally rad place to hang out before the wedding. Jeff had a team meeting before his departure to marry the girl of his dreams! 1-2-3-HOORAH!

With some time to spare, the guys decided to horse around with Jeff’s nephew har har (I bet he was not laughing though).

Despite the beautiful wedding, we did not get any blue sky or sun! The fog rolled in thick and heavy.

While trekking down the streets to the beach (above), I stopped them midway in an alleyway to take some more saucy pictures tee hee. I told them not to worry because we will get the “safety shots” for the parents and kids to see.

Here is the safety 0:- )

Britney and Jeff’s first dance as husband and wife. I had a large strobe setup on the right side lending that awesome light.

Occasions at Laguna Village | Dorothy and Yuichi

June 19, 2008

Hi hi,

On May 25, 2008, I photographed a wedding at Occasions at Laguna Village in Laguna Beach (Orange County) with Steve Hoffmann. The lovely couple – Dorothy and Yuichi – started their day at Hyatt Regency Newport Beach. Afterwards, we trekked down to Occasions at at Laguna Village where they had both their wedding ceremony and wedding reception, which was awesome because it meant less traveling.

Occasions at Laguna Village hosted a buffet style dinner for the guests. That evening’s dinner was baked salmon with asparagus, tortellini in a rich cheesy sauce, and spinach salad with poppyseed dressing. This delectable ambrosia was so good!
