If you live in Southern California, then you already know we have the best beaches anywhere. But how many of you get the opportunity to work at the beach on occasion? Not many. We are fortunate that many of our clients have their weddings along the coast at several Orange and Los Angeles County beaches and venues. One of the reasons we love shooting weddings at the beach is all the amazing settings you can come across. Three16 Photography loves beach wedding venues and photographing weddings along the beautiful coast of Orange County, Los Angeles and surrounding areas of Southern California.

Shooting wedding photos at the various beach venues allows us to take a wide variety of photos. With the many types of backdrops in your background and items that can be incorporated into your shots, the skies the limit as to the beauty of your photos. Some of the bigger highlights at the beach would include some really awesome rock formations, tide pools or even under the piers. Of course, these shots would depend on where your wedding venue is located.

Keep in mind, all venues have their pros and their cons, but if you opt for a beach wedding venue, whether they are literally on the beach or within walking distance, it should be fantastic! Here are just a few venues in Orange County that we have had the pleasure of photographing at. Surf and Sand Resort, Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort, The Ritz-Carlton Laguna, Huntington Bay Club, Dana Point Yacht Club, as well as at Salt Creek Beach.

In Los Angeles County, we recommend the Hotel Maya, The Queen Mary, The Portofino Hotel & Marina, The Reef Long Beach and a unique experience, that Gondola Gateway.
