Downtown Laguna Beach Engagement Portraits

For those of you who aren't sure you want purely beach engagement photos, check out the cool combination of spots we used for Lori and Hugh's Laguna Beach engagement session. We started at Peppertree Lane in downtown Laguna Beach, and got an awesome variety of backgrounds while strolling around other parts of downtown Laguna. After a quick wardrobe change, we were ready to get wet and wild at the beach below Heisler Park, also in Laguna Beach. This combo of locations was Lori's idea, and I've been offering it to my clients for family portraits and engagement sessions ever since, thanks Lori! If you're gonna go through the effort of getting all cute and made up for engagement photos, you might as well make the most of it! Lori and Hugh will become Mr. & Mrs. Alexander in the summer of 2010 at Occasions at Laguna Village in Laguna Beach.

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!
