If you’re getting married in Orange County, there’s nothing like the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel. Perched above Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point, this five-star resort offers some of the most dramatic Pacific Ocean views in Southern California and it’s one of my all-time favorite places to photograph weddings.


My approach blends photojournalistic storytelling with cinematic, timeless portraits that capture the real emotions of your day, the laughter, the quiet moments, the way you look at each other when no one else is watching.


Why the Ritz Stands Out

  • Unmatched cliffside views for ceremonies and portraits
  • Golden hour light that makes every shot cinematic
  • World-class service that lets you focus on each other, not logistics


The Veil + Ocean Breeze Effect

One of my signature shots here is the veil caught perfectly in the Pacific breeze as the sun dips into the horizon. It’s natural, unscripted, and impossible to fake the kind of moment that becomes a family heirloom.


Local Advantage

As a local photographer (and surfer), I know the light, tides, and angles better than most. This means your portraits will be one-of-a-kind, with no guesswork on the best spots or timing.


Limited-Time Bonus

When you book your wedding with me, you’ll also receive a complimentary engagement session — the perfect way to get comfortable in front of the camera and start telling your story before the big day.

📌 Only 5 of these sessions are left this month, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year to give each couple my full attention. If you’re planning your Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel wedding, contact me now to secure your date, lock in your bonus session, and create images that are cinematic, timeless, and full of real emotion.
