Orange County, California Photography: Weddings, Engagements & Family Memories

Our team at Lauren Cherie Photography is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but Orange County, California, feels like our second home. We love its ocean air, beautiful coastline, and sunsets, and we’re always grateful for another opportunity to return.

We travel to Orange County, California, five to six times a year. Our love for the area keeps bringing us back, especially when we get to meet wonderful people and create photographs they’ll treasure.

We’re excited to be building our clientele in Orange County, California, one couple and family at a time. Our hope is that someday we’ll have our own photography shop near Laguna Beach, California. For now, every visit and every client who welcomes us into their story brings that dream a little closer.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, celebrating your engagement, or taking a family vacation, we would love to photograph this chapter of your life in Orange County, California, including Laguna Beach and the beautiful Treasure Island beach area.

Laguna Beach & Treasure Island Have Our Hearts

There’s something special about spending time beside the ocean. Laguna Beach and Treasure Island are two of our favorite places to enjoy the coast and find inspiration.

The scenery creates a beautiful setting, but the people in front of our cameras give each photograph its meaning. Your laughter, your connection, and the way you hold the people you love turn a beautiful beach photograph into something deeply personal.

We love taking those moments and creating art you can bring home.

We’ll Help You Pose and Bring Out Natural Smiles

You don’t have to know what to do in front of the camera. We’ll show you how to pose, guide you through movement, and help you feel comfortable throughout your session.

We really enjoy working with people, and we love bringing out natural smiles through conversation, laughter, and a relaxed experience.

Our goal is to capture your personality—the spirit and soul that make you who you are. We want your photographs to feel full of life, love, and connection.

Linsey + Donald | A La Fonda Intimate New Year’s Eve Wedding | Santa Fe, NM

Intimate Winter Wedding Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico

How cool is it that Linsey + Donald chose to get married and start their next chapter together on New Year’s Eve? I am so honored that this sweet, not to mention stunning, couple chose me to photograph their small, intimate wedding at La Fonda on the Plaza in historic Santa Fe, New Mexico. Holiday wedding dates can sometimes be tricky, but with the current climate of the world and intimacy of the guest list, I think it was the perfect way to kick off 2021! New year, new love, new beginnings :)

If you haven’t been to La Fonda on the Plaza, which is the only hotel on the plaza in Santa Fe, NM, it is a must see and stay. The amazing architecture and authentic Southwestern decor stud the entire hotel, but also have a modern flair. It is a perfect wedding location right outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico for those that want elegance mixed with a touch of New Mexican culture! Whether you are a local or visitor, you are in for a treat. Santa Fe offers so much history, culture, art, food, and gorgeous views.

It was so much fun to hang out with the bridal party and watch them get ready. Something Ginger did their magic and created the most gorgeous look with hair and make-up on the bride and her girls! I adored Linsey’s classic low bun + natural makeup look that accentuated her natural beauty. She was simply glowing!

The bride’s off the shoulder wedding gown from The Bridal Room seemed to have been made just for her. The delicate lace overlay detail was perfectly paired with a stunning winter white fur wrap. Her bridesmaids also had that special fur detail to accentuate their winter-y velvet bridesmaids gowns. What a beautiful and stylish combo. Loved it so much!

And let’s not forget how dapper the groom Donald looked! A classic black tuxedo suit will never go out of style in my opinion. One of my favorite things about winter weddings is you can add those extra sophisticated touches, fabrics like velvet, fur, and “extras” like jewels, deeper colors, and even make-up choices that perfectly fit in with the wintery vibes the season offers. It is your chance to be bold!

Don’t hesitate to plan your wedding on around a holiday. It creates a lasting memory for all guests, narrows down your theme options and guest list, lowers the likelihood that another couple will have the same date, and it will make your anniversary that much more special every year.

Check out a small portion of some of the other weddings we have done here. Interested in a certain theme but don’t see it on our website? We probably have more pictures to share from our portfolio. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
