A Beautiful Laguna Hills Civic Center Wedding With Private Vows at Laguna Beach


Southern California offers so many beautiful locations for intimate weddings, and Laguna Hills Civic Center is a perfect choice for couples looking for a simple yet elegant courthouse ceremony.


One of my recent couples chose to exchange vows here, followed by a romantic private vow exchange and photoshoot at Laguna Beach. The result? A breathtakingly beautiful day filled with love, stunning backdrops and heartfelt moments.


The Wedding Day Experience


The couple started their special day at the Laguna Hills Civic Center, where they had a short and sweet civil ceremony accompanied by their nearest and dearest.


The Civic Center provides a peaceful setting, with a charming courtyard that makes a great spot for family photos after the ceremony.


Once their marriage was made official, we headed to Laguna Beach, where they exchanged private vows on the sand with the ocean waves as their soundtrack.


Although it was a misty, winter afternoon, it made for a beautiful, dreamy backdrop.
