Laguna Beach Wedding | Hotel Seven4One | Leyna + Collin

Laguna Beach Wedding

I am so excited to show off this GORGEOUS Laguna beach wedding at the coolest venue! Seven4One is incredibly unique and perfect for the bride who wants her closest friends with her on her big day, a beach view, and the most incredible food of all time! When Leyna reached out to me to talk about shooting her wedding here at Seven4One I was beyond excited! Leyna has always had amazing taste and has always been incredibly classy. We talked all about her vision for her day, and I absolutely LOVE how she made it all about her and Collin and what would fit them as a couple. They wanted their best friends, their family and a PARTY! And that is exactly what they got! Between the 80’s cover band (which was just about the coolest thing I have ever seen), the cocktail style dining, and the access to the gorgeous beat, this wedding was one for the books!

First Look

With this wedding taking place after the time change, Leyna decided to do a first look, as to not feel rushed when it came time for portraits and I was SO happy she did! Not only did they get to have a little time to themselves before their guests started arriving (although they were on display for all of PCH to see which was quite entertaining), it was the most perfect timing for romantic portraits of them as a married couple on the beach and the sunset did NOT disappoint! Laguna beach is ALWAYS gorgeous but I think Mother Nature was putting on a show that night!

Getting the PARTY Started

After portraits, the two were able to join cocktail hour with their guests and truly get to mingle with the ones they loved. I love how intimate the space is at Seven4One. It’s such an incredible Laguna Beach Wedding venue. Everyone was loving the food and open bar! They made their way on to the dance floor and the rest is history! Flashback Heart Attack kept the dance floor full the whole night and it was a BLAST! I usually tend to want to put my camera down when the DJ’s do their thing, but these guys had me dancing while shooting because I just couldn’t help myself! The day truly was perfect from start to finish and I am SO lucky to have incredible friends, brides and couples just like these two!
