Wedding Photography at Seabird Hotel + Saint Malo Beach
Our coverage for Cassie and Anthony began at two private Saint Malo residences—where the bride and groom got ready separately with their wedding parties. We captured everything from robe photos to heirloom details, followed by a moving first look at the residence before guests arrived.
The ceremony backdrop was a floral dream: two towering pillars of white blooms and lush greenery framed the ocean just beyond the couple.
After the vows, we moved to the Seabird Hotel where the cocktail hour featured live mariachi, signature cocktails, and sweeping views. As golden hour set in, we snuck away with the couple for sunset portraits along the Oceanside pier—one of the best perks of a Seabird Hotel wedding!
In the ballroom, the vibe was a mix of refined elegance and party energy—white linens, navy napkins, candlelit centerpieces, and the couple’s custom “ELLIS” marquee letters lit up the dance floor.
