in Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach is one of the most sought-after destinations for Orange County wedding photography. The combination of a world-famous coastline, luxury oceanfront resorts, and unique boutique venues gives couples a range of settings that few cities along the Orange County coast can match. Whether you are planning a ceremony on a hotel terrace with the Pacific in the background, or an intimate gathering at a garden venue tucked away from the beach, Huntington Beach delivers.
Lin and Jirsa Photography has photographed weddings at every major Huntington Beach venue. We know how to work with the coastal light, manage the open-sky exposure challenges that come with ocean-view ceremonies, and find the quiet corners of busy resort properties that make for the best portraits. Our goal on every wedding day is to disappear into the background and come back with images that feel completely true to the day.
Huntington Beach Wedding Venues
We Photograph
Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa
- Oceanfront luxury resort with direct Pacific Ocean views
- Multiple indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception spaces
- One of the most photographed wedding venues on the OC coast
The Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach is the marquee luxury wedding venue on the Orange County coastline. The resort's outdoor terraces and ceremony lawns sit directly above the beach, providing an unobstructed ocean horizon that frames ceremonies beautifully. Sunset timing is everything at this property, and we plan every Hyatt Huntington Beach wedding around the light. The interior ballrooms are grand and well-maintained, with finishes that photograph cleanly regardless of decor style.

Paséa Hotel & Spa
- Modern boutique resort steps from the sand on Pacific Coast Highway
- Rooftop ceremony space with panoramic ocean and city views
- Intimate capacity ideal for refined, smaller-scale celebrations
Paséa Hotel is one of the most visually distinct wedding venues on the Huntington Beach waterfront. Its contemporary architecture, rooftop event spaces, and clean design aesthetic give photographers a lot to work with. The rooftop terrace is particularly spectacular for ceremonies and golden hour portraits, with the Pacific behind you and the Huntington Beach pier visible in the distance. We photographed a beautiful Sikh micro-wedding here, and the venue handled the intimate ceremony with genuine care and flexibility.

The Waterfront Beach Resort, A Hilton Hotel
- Beachfront full-service resort with ocean view event spaces
- Flexible ballroom capacity for weddings of 100 to 400 guests
- On-site accommodations for couples and out-of-town guests
The Waterfront Beach Resort is one of the most established full-service wedding venues on the Huntington Beach strip. Its ballroom spaces are flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of guest counts, and the outdoor areas provide ocean views and beach access for ceremony and portrait opportunities. The property has well-experienced event staff who are familiar with a wide range of wedding styles, which makes the logistics side of the day run smoothly.

Venue by Three Petals
- Garden-style estate venue with lush floral surroundings
- Indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception options
- Boutique capacity with a personal, non-hotel atmosphere
Venue by Three Petals is a refreshing contrast to the large resort properties that dominate the Huntington Beach wedding market. This garden estate venue has an organic, floral-rich aesthetic that lends itself naturally to romantic, editorial-style wedding photography. The variety of outdoor spaces means there are multiple distinct looks to work with across a single wedding day, from ceremony gardens to courtyard reception areas with warm ambient lighting.

Huntington Beach Pier & Shoreline
The Huntington Beach Pier is one of the most iconic backdrops in Southern California, and it makes for a natural, recognizable setting for couples who want their engagement photos to feel rooted in the place they call home. Early morning sessions before the beach crowds arrive give you the pier and shoreline almost to yourselves. Golden hour in the late afternoon turns the water and sand warm amber and the pier silhouettes beautifully against the sunset sky.
Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
Just north of the main beach strip, the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve offers a completely different Huntington Beach engagement backdrop. The open wetlands, tidal channels, and long flat horizon create a landscape that feels wide and cinematic. During certain seasons, the late afternoon light across the reserve is extraordinary, going orange and warm across the water. For couples who want something more atmospheric and natural than a beach boardwalk session, Bolsa Chica is one of the best kept secrets in coastal Orange County photography.
Why Choose a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer
from Lin and Jirsa
Lin and Jirsa Photography has photographed weddings in Huntington Beach and along the Orange County coastline since 2008. Coastal wedding photography comes with specific technical challenges: bright open-sky backlight, reflective water surfaces, and the wide dynamic range between ocean horizon and shaded interior spaces. Our team knows how to manage these conditions to deliver consistently beautiful images regardless of the time of day or weather.
We work with couples across the full range of wedding styles, from intimate beachside micro-weddings to large resort celebrations at the Hyatt Regency or Hilton Waterfront. Every package includes a dedicated lead photographer, a thorough pre-wedding consultation, and online delivery of fully edited, high-resolution images with personal printing rights.

FAQ
How much does a Huntington Beach wedding photographer cost?
Wedding photography in Huntington Beach typically ranges from $3,000 to $9,000 or more depending on the studio, coverage hours, and deliverables. Luxury oceanfront venues like the Hyatt Regency and Paséa often involve longer days and more complex logistics, which can affect pricing. Lin and Jirsa Photography packages start at $3,950 and include a dedicated lead photographer, full-day coverage, and an online gallery of fully edited high-resolution images. We are happy to provide a detailed quote for your specific date and venue.
What is the best time of year for a Huntington Beach wedding?
Late spring through early fall (May through October) is the most popular season for Huntington Beach weddings, with warm weather and long evenings. However, June can bring morning coastal fog (June Gloom) that occasionally lingers into the afternoon. September and October are often the most reliably clear months for outdoor ceremonies, with warm temperatures and beautiful golden hour light. Winter weddings at oceanfront venues are also stunning, with dramatic skies and far fewer crowds on the beach.
Have you photographed weddings at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach or Paséa Hotel?
Yes, extensively. The Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa is one of our most frequently photographed venues on the Orange County coast. We have also photographed weddings at Paséa Hotel and Spa, the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort, and Venue by Three Petals. Our venue pages include real wedding photos and photographer notes from each location.
How far in advance should I book a Huntington Beach wedding photographer?
We recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance, particularly for Saturday dates between May and October. Oceanfront venues in Huntington Beach book out quickly, and the most sought-after photographers fill their calendars at a similar pace. That said, always reach out to check availability for closer dates as we occasionally have openings.
Do you photograph beach ceremonies and elopements in Huntington Beach?
Yes. In addition to full resort weddings, we photograph beach ceremonies, elopements, and micro-weddings along the Huntington Beach shoreline. We are familiar with the city's permit requirements for beach ceremonies and can help you understand the logistics during our consultation. Micro-wedding packages are available for smaller celebrations.
Do you travel to other cities beyond Huntington Beach?
Yes. We photograph weddings throughout Orange County with no travel fees, including Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Irvine, Anaheim, Dana Point, and Santa Ana. We also cover Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, and destination weddings worldwide.
