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.

You keep saying you’ll book family photos when you feel more like yourself…

But the truth is—there’s always something. Life is busy. Your body changes. The timing never feels perfect.

And underneath that… it’s not really about the timing. It’s about not wanting to be happy in how you look.

But your kids don’t see any of that. They just see you. The way you hug them, laugh with them, show up for them every day.

If this has been on your heart, maybe this is your sign not to wait another year 🤍

When you work with me, you don’t just get a photographer—you get someone who plans, guides, and creates artwork you’ll love for years. If that’s what you’ve been searching for, let’s start.
For me, photography has never just been about images—it’s about people, relationships, and the stories we share. If that’s what you’d like in your portraits, let’s talk.
At the end of the day, portraits are about people—the ones you love most. If you’d like photos that reflect that love, I’d love to create them for you.
No two families are alike, and no two sessions should be either. That’s why I design each one with your unique story in mind. If you’d like that for your portraits, let’s plan something special.
Families often thank me for making the process so simple and stress-free. That’s exactly how it should feel. If you’d like that kind of experience, let’s chat.
Every stage of life deserves to be remembered—from newborn snuggles to senior year and beyond. If you’d like to capture your family’s journey, I’d love to work with you.
