One long table on the bluff above the Pacific at Terranea Resort

Venue Guide

Terranea Resort Wedding Photographer

Rancho Palos Verdes, California

A ceremony lawn on the edge of the continent. The Pacific behind every vow.

Hanna and Drew married on the bluff at Terranea with the whole ocean behind them, and their gallery shows what the property gives a photographer: a white floral arch against open water, a recessional that feels like it could float, and a long table set above the waves. The light on the point in the last hour of the day is the reason couples choose Terranea, and the reason I build the timeline around it.
