These Laguna Beach golden hour bride and groom photos are made even better when you know the love story behind them. Selah & Griffin are your classic friends-turned-lovers story and Griffin proposed where we took these photos. Does it get any better than that?!

These two NorCal lovebirds met when Selah was a freshman in college. Griffin was the older brother of her roommate-turned-bff and even though they liked each other for a while, they stayed friends for a few years before they started dating. They love to play music and sing together, trying new restaurants, and hanging out with their golden retriever. I love their love and that they were adventurous and down to get sandy & wet during this beach photoshoot in Laguna Beach!

The fact that Griffin proposed at this beach in Laguna Beach made it an obvious location for their bride and groom photos. As a Southern California photographer, I take a lot of my clients to different beaches for their sessions. The views this beach provides and the variety of backdrop options makes it a favorite for me, too!

S+G’s Laguna Beach bride and groom photos weren’t taken on their actual wedding day.

This is a great option for all couples as it gives you the opportunity to spend more time with your loved ones on your wedding in Laguna Beach! It also relieves some of the pressure off of your big day by taking it off the to-do list. We made sure to keep the wedding vibes flowing even though it was after the fact by playing their wedding song and having them dance to it on the beach and soak in that moment.

I loved getting to capture this beautiful couple as they were non-stop giggling and just smitten with each other. I’ll never be over this perfect day!
