Dana Point, as well as nearby Laguna Beach, are two of favorite “beach city” locations in South Orange County that we love to photograph in. There’s always something to do in these coastal cities. You can stop and eat some amazing food, shop at the many boutiques or do what we do best, photograph a wedding. A Heritage Park Wedding in Dana Point makes for a truly beautiful wedding location that can be captured by Three16 Photography to last a lifetime.

Heritage Park may not have the familiarity with it as the Ritz-Carlton or Salt Creek Beach, but this small park is a true hidden gem. An arbor is set up to serve as your altar on the plush green grass with the Dana Point Harbor and Pacific Ocean in the background. Picture Perfect!

The outdoor wedding ceremony at Heritage Park can accommodate up to 200 of your closest friends and family. But with all the beauty of this location does come with some drawbacks. A city permit is required, there are no restrooms available, parking is limited and only the wedding ceremony can take place here. Your reception will have to be at another location. If you can overcome these items, then the location makes for a beautiful spot. And with all the different backdrops, your photos are sure to be stunning.

Other locations near Heritage Park that make for great photography sessions include Harbor Point Conservation Park (1 mile), the Ocean Institute and Doheny State Beach are both about a mile and a half away.
