Laguna Beach Engagement Session

I vividly remember the first time I met Anni: my sophomore year at a Delta Gamma rush party. I was so drawn to her personality and wit; I just knew we would end up being friends. Any girl who has the guts to sport a hot pink cast on her injured leg is cool in my book.

Anni met Chris almost immediately after moving from Minnesota to Newport Beach to attend Chapman University. Six years later she accepted his proposal for marriage, and they will be tying the knot in April 2010 at Pacific Edge in Laguna Beach.

Pacific Edge is an awesome Laguna Beach wedding venue that’s perfect for weddings of 130 guests or less. Check out this Pacific Edge wedding I photographed in May 2009. Anni and Chris’ ceremony and reception will take place on the deck, and they’ve even hired an 80’s band for the reception! Their Laguna Beach engagement photos were taken at the beach below Heisler Park in Laguna Beach. Enjoy the engagement portraits of this good looking couple!

Seven Degrees Wedding Photography Laguna Beach

Seven Degrees combines ultra-dramatic lighting and unique pieces of art to create a chic, modern wedding venue in Laguna Beach. What I love most about Seven Degrees is that it's somewhat of a "blank canvas" in that you can bring your vision of your wedding to life. You can see in the images below that Seven Degrees' custom lighting gives so much emotion to the overall feel of the reception room. My #1 favorite photo spot has to be the bride's dressing room, which offers giant glass doors and sleek, modern furniture in place of the typical flowers and frills. Closely following in second place is the cool, blue mosaic wall that perfectly reflects the artsy Laguna Beach lifestyle. I actually looked into holding my wedding here, because I love how different it is than any other Laguna Beach wedding venue. Enjoy the pics of Raazi & Shaunna's wedding!
