in Long Beach
Long Beach has one of the most varied wedding markets in Southern California. The city blends waterfront views of the Pacific, a historic downtown core, large-scale convention and hotel venues, and a thriving South Asian wedding community. Couples can host a ceremony overlooking the harbor in the morning and a 500-guest reception in a grand ballroom the same evening, all without leaving the city.
Lin and Jirsa Photography has photographed weddings at every major Long Beach venue. As one of Los Angeles' premier wedding photography studios, we know this city's light, logistics, and locations as well as any team in the region. Whether you are planning a waterfront wedding at Hotel Maya, a historic celebration at The Ebell Club, or a large multi-day South Asian wedding at the Hyatt Regency or Hilton, we bring the experience and preparation needed to deliver images that match the scale and feel of your day.
Long Beach Wedding Venues
We Photograph
The Ebell Club of Long Beach
- Historic 1920s landmark venue with original architectural details
- Elegant grand ballroom with stage and dance floor
- Mediterranean Revival design with ornate interior features
The Ebell Club is one of the most architecturally distinctive wedding venues in Long Beach. Built in the 1920s as a women's social club, the property retains its original Mediterranean Revival design, ornate ceilings, and grand staircase. The venue photographs particularly well in available light, with tall windows that flood the main ballroom during daytime ceremonies. For couples seeking a venue with built-in character and history, few Long Beach properties match the Ebell Club's presence on camera.

Hyatt Regency Long Beach
- Waterfront full-service hotel adjacent to the convention center
- Large ballroom capacity for several hundred guests
- Popular venue for South Asian and multicultural weddings
Positioned on the Long Beach waterfront next to the Convention Center, the Hyatt Regency is one of the anchor hotel wedding venues in the city. Its ballroom capacity and full-service hotel infrastructure make it a natural fit for multi-day South Asian wedding weekends, and we have photographed many Hindu, Sikh, and other multicultural celebrations here. The outdoor patios overlooking the marina provide excellent ceremony and portrait light in the late afternoon, especially during the warmer months.

Hotel Maya
- Waterfront resort with unobstructed Long Beach skyline views
- Outdoor ceremony spaces along the marina
- Tropical resort-style grounds with mature landscaping
Hotel Maya sits on a private peninsula directly across the harbor from downtown Long Beach, giving couples one of the most dramatic waterfront backdrops in the city. The unobstructed view of the Long Beach skyline is the defining feature of the venue, and it photographs beautifully during blue hour and into the evening reception. The resort's tropical landscaping and lawn ceremony spaces also provide plenty of options for portraits before and after the ceremony.

Long Beach Convention Center
- Large-scale event spaces for weddings of 500-plus guests
- Fully customizable blank-canvas ballrooms
- One of the region's premier venues for large South Asian weddings
The Long Beach Convention Center and adjoining Performing Arts Center offer some of the largest event spaces in the city. For couples planning weddings with 500-plus guests, including elaborate multi-day South Asian celebrations, the convention center provides the scale and flexibility that smaller venues cannot match. The blank-canvas nature of the ballrooms allows for dramatic lighting design and custom layouts that photograph well in wide reception shots.

Long Beach Hilton
- Full-service hotel near the waterfront and convention center
- Flexible ballroom configurations for varied guest counts
- Experienced with multicultural and South Asian wedding logistics
The Long Beach Hilton is a dependable full-service wedding venue positioned near the waterfront and downtown core. We have photographed a number of Pakistani, Persian, Indian, and other multicultural weddings here, and the hotel staff are experienced with the pacing and setup requirements these events demand. The ballroom interiors respond well to uplighting and draping, and the hotel infrastructure makes it straightforward to manage guest accommodations and pre-wedding events like welcome dinners and mehndi parties on site.

The Long Beach Waterfront & Shoreline Park
Shoreline Park and the adjacent Long Beach waterfront are two of our favorite engagement session locations in the city. The pathway along the marina offers unobstructed views of the downtown skyline, the Queen Mary, and the harbor, with a mix of open lawn, palm trees, and waterfront promenade to move through during the session. Late afternoon into golden hour gives soft warm light across the water, and the city lights provide a dramatic backdrop once the sun sets.
Downtown Long Beach & East Village Arts District
For couples who prefer an urban feel, the East Village Arts District and the historic blocks of downtown Long Beach offer textured backdrops of brick facades, murals, and classic architecture. The area has enough visual variety within walking distance to cover multiple looks in a single session, and weekday afternoons keep foot traffic minimal, which makes moving between spots easy.
