Laguna Beach Wedding Venue: Seven Degrees, Laguna Beach, http://seven-degrees.com/

Seven Degrees in Laguna beach California is a full-service, modern, and beautiful venue nestled into the canyons of Laguna Beach. It’s just down the street from some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world, making it an amazing location for a wedding. It’s a full service venue and they take care of everything from lighting, to decor, to food and drinks! I love this modern venue, every wedding I have shot here runs like clockwork and the design is beautiful for photography!

Love Story:

Lauren and Brian met when Brian moved to San Diego in January of 2008. Lauren was attending San Diego State University and Brian was looking for a change of setting and some new friends. Mutual friends made the introduction and Lauren and Brian had an instant attraction. Being a silly boy, Brian missed all of the clues Lauren was leaving for him, particularly needing a ride to Spanish class even though she had her own car! Years had passed and Lauren and Brian’s relationship grew quiet. Lauren went on to study abroad in Italy while Brian worked on school. Brian and Lauren re-connected in January of 2013 after a motorcycle accident spurred Lauren to reach out and see how Brian was doing. The two met later that night at Miller’s Field and since then, they have been inseparable.

Most family photos don’t get used.

Not because they weren't good—
but because they were never turned into something beautiful and tangible.

They stay on phones.
Or get printed in a way that doesn’t feel quite right.

That’s why I guide my clients through creating something beautiful for their home—so their photos don’t just exist, they’re part of everyday life.

Be honest—have you ever printed your photos and felt a little disappointed with how they turned out?
Your portraits should be artwork that makes your house feel even more like home. If you’d like that kind of art on your walls, let’s plan it together.
What sets my sessions apart is the planning—we take care of the details so your only job is to enjoy. If that’s the experience you’d like, I’d love to hear from you.
Some families tell me they’ve been meaning to do portraits for years. If that’s you, this is your sign. Let’s create something meaningful together.
As a full-service photographer, my job doesn’t end at the camera—I help you bring your portraits to life in your home. If that sounds like what you’ve been missing, let’s talk.
MODELS NEEDED 🤍

I’m building out my new studio portfolio and looking for a few select models this April ✨

If you’re:
• Expecting (3rd trimester)
• Or have a baby 6–12 months (sitting, not yet walking)

I’d love to hear from you!

These are complimentary sessions designed to create soft, natural, elevated portraits in my new light-filled Carlsbad studio (or on location if you prefer).

To apply:
Email me at heather@vallentynephotography.com with a quick snapshot of your family + whether you prefer studio, location, or either.

I’ll send over details + next steps 💌

Please email only (no DMs) so I can keep everything organized 🤍
