Kareem & Lana’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel was nothing short of extraordinary. Perched above the ocean, the ceremony unfolded against a dramatic coastline view—an unforgettable setting for a celebration as vibrant and heartfelt as theirs.

Lana was a vision in her sculptural Vera Wang gown, the epitome of timeless elegance. Surrounded by their families and a sea of loved ones, Kareem and Lana said their vows beneath a soft coastal breeze and a glowing sky, made even more breathtaking by a rich, jewel-toned palette woven throughout the day—from florals to décor.

Their grand entrance was truly electric. A spirited zaffeh march and live band led the couple into the room with palpable energy—joy radiating from every corner. The dance floor never rested, and the night unfolded with music, laughter, and moments full of meaning.

It was a wedding that honored tradition and celebrated modern love—bold, beautiful, and so full of heart.
