Erin Cole and Ryan Owen’s love story has always been about authenticity—grounded in shared adventures, laughter, and an undeniable connection.

So when it came to their pre-wedding celebration, they chose a setting that felt equally true to their journey: the scenic cliffs of Southern California at Montage Laguna Beach.

With the Pacific Ocean stretching out beneath them and the sky painted in the warm hues of a coastal sunset, Erin and Ryan’s evening wasn’t about grand gestures but about the quiet, meaningful moments that have always defined their relationship..

 The soft rush of waves meeting the shore, the salty breeze in the air—it was the kind of atmosphere that invited reflection, celebration, and a touch of magic.

Montage Laguna Beach, with its relaxed elegance, was the perfect choice for a weekend that felt more like a gathering of friends than a formal affair.

Erin and Ryan’s story is built on trust, laughter, and a deep bond that everyone present could feel. Their journey to this day has been filled with countless adventures and heartfelt moments, and this weekend’s wedding was a celebration of just that.

The couple have never been ones for showiness, so their celebration was all about savoring the present with those closest to them.

Guests were welcomed with signature cocktails and gourmet bites, but the real highlight was the easy, joyful energy that filled the terrace as everyone mingled beneath the fading light.

As the evening unfolded, you could feel the love between Erin and Ryan—it wasn’t about big declarations but the comfortable, familiar way they fit together, like two people who have been through life’s ups and downs and come out even stronger. Their story, built on trust and shared adventures, was reflected in every part of the evening.

Erin and Ryan have curated each detail of their wedding to reflect not just their love story but the people and experiences that have shaped them into the couple they are today.
