Classy Persian Wedding at Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel

Wedding in Orange County

Atousa and Amir

There are very few places in the west coast as beautiful as Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel. With its sweeping ocean views, it is truly a magical place to be.

One of the benefits of getting married in the springtime is that the weather is usually wonderful. For this special wedding, the breeze from the ocean and the soft sunlight, was as perfect as can be.

It’s always a sweet and very intimate time the morning of your wedding day. Our bride and groom got ready in separate suites, until it was time for their first look.

Our glowing bride wore a gorgeous lace gown, which fit like it was made just for her.

When saw the wedding ceremony setup with the sofreh designed by Samira, we were blown away.

When they saw each other for the first time, they both lit up with joy.

The beauty of this venue is that it’s great for intimate weddings, along with very large weddings as well. Just about anything feels and looks incredible at Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel.

With the sweeping views of crystal blue waters, this must be one of the most beautiful beaches you’ll ever see on this side of the world.

Persian weddings are full of so much history, dating back centuries. For example the mirror used in the sofreh is important aspect as it represents the light and brightness for this beautiful couple’s future ahead.

There symbolic pieces at each sofreh, are to represent the newlyweds new life together and in their marriage. Most persian weddings have similar traditions going back centuries, so when a bride and groom incorporates them in their wedding day, it is so beautiful to capture.

Some of the most important aspects of the sofreh represent the most blessed things in life: sweetness, commitment, abundance, family, health and so much more.

The important tradition with the customary cloth, is usually based down from generation to generation. How sweet is that?

Once their ceremony concludes, their new life as one, has begun!

This intimate wedding was just so much fun, the couple had a wonderful time celebrating with their closest friends and family.

When the party came to an end, the sun was minutes from setting.

That is when we quickly took the couple straight to the beach and starting capturing some candid moments.

Together, they are so sweet and natural. It is always great to capture an effortless love.

There is nothing like ending a day with a sunset shoot, it does not always happen during busier wedding days, but when it does - we sure feel the magic!
