it’s been quiet around here, i know. we are all alive and well, we’ve just been in laguna beach for the last week having a babymoon of sorts. this was the perfect pick seeing as we went on our honeymoon there. laguna feels like a home away from home … like it’s a small bit of the planet that belongs to just us. it was just what we both needed to clear our heads and bring ourselves back to feeling a little more like us. below are photos from our trip when we found ourselves strolling out and about town.
on our first full day the air was just slightly too chilly to spend lounging on the beach, so we decided to drive to balboa island and spend the day exploring there instead. on the way (and slightly lost) we took a wrong turn and almost literally bumped into this theater. camden and i had both been so excited to see the grand budapest hotel since we first heard it was coming out and so it felt like fate when we saw the next show was starting in ten minutes. we changed our plans slightly and watched this movie in the theater it was meant to be seen in.
mornings in laguna are my absolute favorite and every morning we ate at our very favorite restaurant, zinc. a few times we even stopped there for lunch as well. this sandwich, chili, and salad combo was nothing short of amazing.
we stayed at the hotel laguna located right in the center of town and smack dab on the beach. for what we wanted and needed, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. you could see and hear the ocean from our window which i’m missing like crazy right now.
i’m currently working on editing our beach photos so stay tuned, more is to come soon!
Glad you had fun in our little neck of the woods! Check out active culture for some amazingly yummy health food and I love the hari krishna temple's free Sunday vegetarian lunches (if you are here that long).
There's something about your photography skills that's unique and so "inviting". They're always so warm, and dreamy, and I'm inspired every time I visit your blog.
I'm definitely staying tuned!

Your photography is very painterly. It looks like painted, you know? Not just because intentionally out of focused, it is because, as if time stopped in there.. just like a painting.
I wish I had known you guys were in town! I live near here and it would have been so great to see a "familiar" face. I'm a stranger but not a stranger. . . .
oh man these pictures! and that sandwhich! you have a way with the camera, everything is always so dreamy.
laguna is one of my favorite places to go to in the summer! Im lucky that its not to far from home. Lovely photos as always 🙂

We were there last week! Ate at BJs across the street and played with our daughter in that same playground. How awesome would it have been if we bumped into each other! I love your blog and look up to your photography. Glad you two enjoyed time alone before the baby arrives!
Laguna is our favorite home-away-from-home vacation spot, too! Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing! I've got to go see Grand Budapest, now 🙂
Sara. Your photography is beautiful. I get pulled into each photo. Very romantic.
Ohhhhh that movie theater looks like something out of a Wes Anderson film, I love it. Perfectly matches the palette of the Grand Budapest, right?
