Mia and Logan were happily married in Redondo Beach, a gorgeous Southern California coastal city. Located in the South Bay region of the Greater Los Angeles area, this vibrant beach city is famous for its history, marina, horseshoe-shaped pier, and the most beautiful sunsets. The beautiful couple held their beachside wedding ceremony and reception at The Portofino Hotel & Marina. The entire day was perfect, from the heartfelt vows overlooking the Pacific Ocean to dancing the night away in the elegant waterfront ballroom. It was an honor to be part of the couple's special day and we loved capturing all the love and joy of this unforgettable day.
