Wedding Videography at Montage Laguna Beach
Montage Laguna Beach occupies thirty acres of oceanfront bluff at 30801 South Coast Highway, on the southern edge of Laguna Beach. The resort holds 262 guest rooms in Craftsman architecture, and its event spaces run from the 7,500 square foot Grand Ballroom, which seats up to 800, to the 3,200 square foot Gallery Ballroom at 300. The Pacific Lawn seats 400 with unobstructed panoramic ocean views. Very few California venues can hold a celebration at that scale while keeping open water in every frame.
The bluff is what makes this property extraordinary on film. Ceremony coverage on the lawn puts nothing between the couple and the horizon, no rooflines, no parking, no neighboring structures, which means a wide shot reads as pure coast. The Craftsman interiors then do the opposite work: dark timber, deep tone, warm lamplight. That swing from bright open coastal light to close amber ballroom gives an edit its natural pacing across a single day without ever leaving the property.
Laguna faces southwest, so the sun sets straight into the water ahead of the ceremony lawn, and golden hour here is front lit rather than angled. The marine layer can sit heavy until late morning through May and June, then burn off into exceptional afternoon clarity. Film House Weddings is based in Orange County, twenty minutes up the coast. We would be honored to film your wedding at Montage Laguna Beach.

What is included in a wedding film package?
We build a custom package for every couple based on your vision and your wedding day. Typically, every client receives a 5 to 7 minute cinematic wedding film and a reel. Our team works directly with your planner and photographer to ensure seamless coverage from getting ready through the last dance.

Absolutely. Coordination with your vendor team is a core part of our process. We work directly with your planner and photographer before and during the wedding day to make sure everyone is in sync and no moment is missed.

Yes. Drone coverage is available as an add-on, coordinated with local airspace rules and any venue restrictions.
How long until we receive our wedding film?
Delivery timelines are discussed during the proposal stage and depend on the season and edit scope. Expedited delivery is available if you need your film sooner. Let us know during the booking conversation and we will build a timeline that works for you. Final films are delivered digitally via a private link.
Do you provide raw footage?
Raw footage is available on request as an add-on. Most couples do not request it, since our edited cinematic film, reel, and optional full ceremony and speeches edit capture everything that matters. If raw footage is important to you, let us know during the proposal conversation and we will include it in your custom package.
Will you provide a second shooter?
Our standard package is filmed by a two-person team. Additional shooters are available as an add-on.
