7 Seven 7 Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

Sarah + Mark – 7 Seven 7 Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

It’s so good to be back to Seven 7 Seven! Both of the old Tivoli venues have been remodeled and are now under new management so things were quiet for awhile. The same owners also purchased Hotel Laguna as well. (come back in a week or so for that one) All of the sudden we had 4 weddings in a row at these properties, so we are so happy to be back in the mix!

Monarch Beach Resort + San Clemente Estate

The day started at the Monarch Beach Resort. We met up with the ladies and took getting ready/detail pics. Since brides aren’t allowed to use the grounds if they aren’t getting married there, Sarah had an even better location! We headed over to the most amazing estate overlooking San Clemente! It was a long time family friend’s home and they let her use the property for the first look and formal photos. It took everyone’s breath away! Afterwards, everyone hopped in the limo and cruised to Seven 7 Seven Laguna Beach.

Seven 7 Seven Ceremony + Reception

The newly remodeled wedding venue has a new look and it’s very colorful! Works for some weddings but Sarah’s vision was more of a clean and classy vibe! The girls at 777 had it covered. The entire front entrance was covered in pure white pipe and drape! It was exactly what Sarah had in mind. The traditional Jewish ceremony was beautiful and the weather was exactly what we ordered 🙂 They danced the night away while guests took photos at the vintage paper moon photo booth. This is not your average photo booth! Be sure to check out their creative twist at Paper Moon Shoppe.

Personality Portraits booking now….Most of my clients have no idea what the final image is going to look like when I’m taking it.

I’m asking siblings to stand here.
Look there.
Move closer.
Laugh at each other. 

And sometimes it probably makes absolutely no sense in the moment.

But that’s the beauty of trusting the process.

Because what I’m really looking for isn’t perfect smiles.

It’s connection.

The way siblings look at each other.
The little laughs.
The personalities that make your family yours.

Those are the photos that end up meaning the most years later. 

If you love photos that capture your child's personality, comment PERSONALITY and I'll send you all the details about our Personality Portrait Sessions 🤍
Photos might seem like a big investment today.

But one day you’ll be looking at a portrait of your child and realize you would give anything to go back to that exact stage for just five minutes. 

The missing teeth.
The freckles.
The mischievous smile.
The way they looked before life started changing so quickly.

That’s why I love Personality Portraits.

They’re not about matching outfits, perfect locations, or milestones.

They’re about preserving who your child is right now.

Because one day these portraits won’t just be photos on a wall.

They’ll be reminders of a childhood that went by way too fast. 🤍

And that’s when they become priceless.

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2026 at Carden Hall! You guys are going to do amazing things! 💕
My camera roll is full… maybe I should delete some photos.” 👀

…oh wait nevermind. 

Because somehow every wedding gives me another set of moments I physically cannot delete.

The veil fixes.
The nervous smiles before the ceremony.
The way couples look at each other when they think nobody’s paying attention. 🤍

And honestly?
Those little in-between moments usually end up meaning the most later.

That’s why I overshoot every single wedding ✨

Brides… are you more excited for the posed photos or the candid moments?
