This Palos Verdes wedding paired the garden setting around Wayfarers Chapel with the coastal scale of Trump National Golf Club.

A classic palette of blush, white, gray, and navy kept the photographs timeless while the oceanfront landscape brought drama into the portraits.

Wedding Details and a Garden First Look

The day began with understated jewelry, soft floral details, and preparation portraits. The couple met outside among the gardens, creating a quiet first look before the ceremony.

A Palos Verdes Ceremony

The bride entered the chapel on her father's arm before joining the groom at the front of the intimate sanctuary. Afterward, the gardens provided soft natural light for wedding party and family photographs.

Coastal Portraits and Reception

The coastline around Trump National gave the couple open sky and room for dramatic veil portraits. Inside, the celebration continued with a formal cake cutting and an evening reception overlooking the Pacific.
