Oceano Hotel & Spa Wedding always feel like something out of a dream, and Erica and Dane’s celebration was no exception. This Half Moon Bay gem sits right by the ocean, surrounded by misty hills and the calming sound of waves. It’s one of those places that feels both luxurious and down-to-earth, which is exactly why we love photographing weddings here. The mix of ocean views, elegant ballrooms, and cozy coastal charm makes it perfect for couples who want that classic California feel. Every time we’re back at the Oceano Hotel & Spa, we’re reminded how stunning natural light looks against its seaside backdrop. It’s a location that truly makes wedding photography come alive.
Erica and Dane’s story started in 2021, during that strange post-COVID summer when everything felt new again. They met online, hit it off right away, and never looked back. When Erica got a new job offer in the Bay Area, Dane packed up his life in Minnesota and joined her on a cross-country adventure. They brought their pets, settled into California life, and built a home together filled with love, laughter, and a growing furry family. Music plays a huge role in their relationship, so it was woven into their wedding in creative ways like the use of LPs for their seating chart and table numbers. Their vision was a classic, formal, fall fairytale filled with warm tones of burgundy, gold, sage green, and touches of terracotta and mustard.
For us as photographers, Oceano Hotel & Spa weddings are a dream to capture. The natural light, the open outdoor ceremony spaces, and the soft, coastal breeze create a cinematic setting. Every detail feels like a postcard moment waiting to happen. As professional wedding photographers and videographers, we know how important it is to document not just how a day looks, but how it feels. That’s why we take time to notice the in-between moments the laughter, the small glances, the way the light changes throughout the day.
