Olivia and Blaec’s wedding at L’Auberge Del Mar was a stunning celebration of coastal luxury. Perched above the ocean in the heart of Del Mar Village, this iconic venue offers the perfect setting for couples seeking refined yet relaxed elegance. As a photographer specializing in L’Auberge Del Mar luxury wedding photography, I’m always inspired by the venue’s blend of boutique charm, ocean views, and lush garden spaces.

The bride wore a breathtaking Monique Lhuillier gown, paired with Jimmy Choo heels, exuding sophistication and refined style. Olivia’s look was effortlessly modern, and the gown’s romantic silhouette moved beautifully with every ocean breeze. Blaec wore a classic black tuxedo, perfectly complementing the neutral and elegant wedding color palette.

The ceremony took place on the Pacific Terrace, with panoramic ocean views and lush florals by Jennifer Cole Florals creating a soft, romantic ambiance. Every detail of this day was thoughtfully curated by Sweet Blossom Weddings, from the custom stationery and candlelit luxury wedding reception design to the intimate seating arrangements under twinkling lights.

We took full advantage of the golden hour as the sun was setting along the cliffs of Del Mar, with the waves crashing in the background. These editorial-style images are a signature part of my approach to luxury wedding photography in Southern California—timeless, intentional, and full of emotion.

The reception was an elevated coastal dream, especially for a luxury wedding photographer in Del Mar. With warm wood textures, soft ivory and blush blooms, and a candlelit tablescape, the design reflected a modern take on California romance. Guests dined al fresco under a tent with beautiful draping, toasting the couple in a celebration filled with love, laughter, and elegance.

If you’re dreaming of a high-end coastal celebration, L’Auberge Del Mar offers one of the most beautiful settings in Southern California. Whether you’re planning a full weekend of events or a romantic seaside ceremony, L’Auberge Del Mar luxury wedding photography ensures that every elegant detail is captured with artistry and intention.
