Tivoli Terrace Wedding Inspiration

Venue Spotlight: Tivoli Terrace – Laguna Beach

Tivoli Terrace weddings have a special place in our hearts at Gilmore Studios. Back in 2003, when we started our business, we booked our first Tivoli Terrace Wedding. We hit it off with the manager at the time and asked if we could make a sample album for the venue. He accepted, and we immediately started to receive leads from brides who saw it! We ended up booking so many weddings that year- that they made us a preferred photographer for both Tivoli Terrace and Tivoli too! We have been photographing Tivoli Weddings ever since.

From the venue

The romantic garden setting of Tivoli Terrace is the perfect location for your wedding and reception. We are nestled in the hillside of beautiful Laguna Beach, the heart of the Southern California Rivera.

Our property has two distinctly unique levels. The bride to be makes a dramatic entrance into the upper terrace chapel by walking up a grand staircase. Up in the trees you and your guests are surrounded by twinkle lights, antique wood doors, flowering plants, lush greenery, fountains and a beautiful arbor for your ceremony. Downstairs in our intimate reception area you will be greeted by candlelight, stained glass, our giant California Sycamore tree and an antique gazebo to display your wedding cake.

Depending on the time of year your guests might enjoy our gorgeous tent draped with lush fabric and lights, or an open air courtyard that shows off our blooming bougainvillea and the nature that surrounds you. Winter, spring, summer or fall, Tivoli Terrace is the ideal romantic location for your timeless wedding and reception.

Simple Sophistication

The timeline works for the couple. Not the other way around.

He was nervous before the first look. Not because anything was wrong. Because something that mattered enormously was about to happen.

So we took a minute. Sat in his room. Took a breath. Let him gather himself.

This is where 24 years and a psychology degree actually show up. Not in the posing. In knowing when to slow everything down so the couple can feel what is happening to them.

We walked down. She turned around.

The rest of the day was the smoothest wedding I can remember.

This is what I want for every couple I photograph. Not just beautiful images. A day that actually felt like theirs.

“Their words, not mine… and that’s why I love what I do.” 🤍

Because newborn sessions are about so much more than just taking pretty photos.

They happen during one of the most exhausting, emotional, beautiful seasons of life.

The days are blurry.
You’re running on little sleep.
And somehow your baby changes overnight. 😭

That’s why hearing parents say they felt comfortable, cared for, and genuinely able to enjoy the experience means everything to me.

Because yes, the photos matter.

But making parents feel taken care of during such a fleeting season?
That matters just as much. ✨

If you could freeze one stage of your baby’s life forever… what would it be?
A little something I cooked up 

24 years of weddings later and apparently I still haven’t gotten this photography thing out of my system 

Honestly?
Wedding photography is basically part chaos, part storytelling, and part catching moments couples didn’t even realize were happening.

And somehow those always end up being the photos people love the most. 🤍

Brides…What’s the ONE photo you already know you want from your wedding day? OR the one photo you treasure from your wedding?
The NCL mother-daughter moments were EVERYTHING at the Rainbow Luncheon.

Watching these girls walk beside their moms with so much confidence, grace, and personality was honestly emotional to photograph. 

Because behind every confident daughter is usually a mom who spent years showing up quietly in the background the whole way.

And somehow events like this make you realize just how fast it all goes. 

To all the NCL moms:
you can truly see your love reflected in these girls. 🤍✨

Tag an NCL mom or daughter who’s been through this or has their moment coming soon.
They wanted additional photos at the beach, so we planned a separate session where they could slow down, be present and just enjoy being together without the structure of the wedding day timeline.#trashthedress #weddingday
