Laguna Beach Engagement Pictures// Vanessa + Luis

Vanessa + Luis are such a darling couple. I knew the minute we spoke on the phone that we would have the best time photographing her Laguna Beach engagement photos and soon to be destination wedding in Mexico!

Vanessa and Luis wanted beach photos but they did not want the same ole’ boring photos on the beach. I knew the perfect Laguna Beach destination to take their engagement pictures.

We got down to Laguna a the perfect time, just in time for golden hour. I loved that Vanessa and Luis were up to having some photo during the shoot. Stay tuned for when we post their beautiful destination wedding in Mexico!

Check these Laguna beach engagement photos out.

Soka University, Tivoli Terrace Wedding

Brittney + Joe

Brittney and Joe’s Tivoli Terrace wedding in Laguna Beach was charming and sweet. This darling couple took their family and wedding party over to Soka University for the couple’s first look, family and wedding party pictures prior to their evening ceremony at Tivoli Terrace. The day was ideal with a picture perfect overcast sky which we appreciated as it had been raining all week so we cherished the good weather. Soka University is gorgeous. The location made for incredible wedding photos. Then we headed over to the quaint hidden gem of Tivoli Terrace in Laguna Beach. It is a lovely venue for a wedding and reception.
Brittney and Joe have the sweetest baby girl who is the center of their world and they vowed to love her and one another for the rest of their life. It was lovely to be part of this couple’s wedding celebration. Brittnay is an incredible baker and she made the cutest mini cupcakes which made up the seating chart. The whole wedding had sweets galore which all of the kiddos loved. My awesome second shooter Morgan and I truly enjoyed photographing this wedding and we wish this couple all the love in the world.
Here is a sneak peak into the day.
