Ocean Views and I Do’s: A Beautiful Wedding at Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, California
Hello, lovely readers! As you know, here at Paper Birch Collective, we are huge fans of the beach and nature's beauty, so this blog is extra special because it's full of love by the beach. Today, we’re excited to share the beautiful love story of Alex & Phyllis at one of our favorite SoCal wedding venues: the stunning Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, California. 🌊✨ Imagine saying “I do” with the sound of waves crashing in the background and the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. That’s exactly what we experienced while filming a beautiful wedding at this breathtaking location. Read more about it below and see the magic HERE.
The Beach Venue: Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach
Nestled right on spectacular coast of Orange County's Laguna Beach, Surf & Sand Resort offers a dreamy blend of luxury and natural beauty. With its magical panoramic ocean views, elegant ballrooms, and serene outdoor spaces, it’s no wonder this beach venue is a top choice for couples looking to tie the knot in Southern California. 🩵🌊
📍1555 S Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, California 92651
The Big Day: A Perfect Blend of Elegance and Fun
Our day started early, capturing the bride and groom as they prepared for their big moment with their best friends by their sides. Both the bride and groom gifted their bridesmaids and groomsmen with goodies as they got ready for this special celebration. It was a morning full of fun, love, and pure joy. Before the ceremony, the groom, Alex, waited patiently for his first look with his beautiful bride, Phyllis, but was pranked with his best man in a wedding dress. 😂 After that hilarious set up, the lovely couple enjoyed the sweetest and intimate first look. They showed off their matching messages on the bottoms of their shoes and had such a fun time capturing romantic moments before walking down the aisle. ✨

Wedding Ceremony by the Sea
The ceremony took place on the Catalina Terrace, with the ocean as a stunning backdrop. As the couple exchanged vows, you could hear the waves crashing below and the cool sea breeze blowing by. Not to mention, the weather was absolutely amazing. It was a truly picturesque moment, and we couldn’t have asked for better lighting. Having that "just married" feeling and your first kiss as newly weds on video is so special because you can forever watch and relive these once in a lifetime moments! 🎥

Wedding Reception: An Unforgettable Night
The reception was held in the Pelican Ballroom, which was beautifully decorated with coastal-inspired details. From the heartfelt speeches to the lively dance floor, every moment was filled with joy and celebration. We especially loved capturing the couple’s first dance, which was a beautiful blend of romance and fun. It was the perfect ending to the most dreamy beach wedding day.❤️
