Kristen and Ryan’s wedding day was a romantic celebration set against the coastal charm of Laguna Beach, blending classic elegance with unforgettable moments. From a heartfelt church ceremony to an oceanview reception filled with joy and magic, their wedding was a dream brought to life.

The day began with an intimate ceremony at the charming St. Francis by the Sea Catholic Church, one of the smallest cathedrals in the world and a historic Laguna Beach gem. Surrounded by close friends and family, Kristen and Ryan exchanged vows in a setting that felt deeply personal, spiritual, and timeless.

Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed to the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa for an elevated cocktail hour. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the venue provided a stunning coastal backdrop, where guests enjoyed signature drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and lawn games—creating a relaxed yet refined transition into the evening’s celebration.

The reception lawn was transformed into a vision of white and gold elegance. A white-wrapped dance floor took center stage beneath a canopy of twinkle lights, setting a romantic tone as the sun dipped into the horizon. Tables were adorned with luxe floral arrangements, and cascading white orchids added a dramatic and graceful touch, enhancing the already breathtaking views.

As night fell, the celebration reached new heights with a one-of-a-kind fire dance performance by Kimberly Faith, leaving guests in awe. This unique entertainment moment added energy and spectacle, perfectly reflecting Kristen and Ryan’s desire to create an unforgettable experience for their loved ones.

Mood Photo & Video captured every tender moment and vibrant detail—from the emotional first look and vows to the laughter on the dance floor. Their storytelling approach beautifully preserved the essence of this coastal California wedding.

Kristen and Ryan’s wedding was more than just a celebration—it was a perfect fusion of intimacy, elegance, and unforgettable moments set along the shores of Southern California.
