Coastal Celebration: Laiken & Ben’s Sea-Esta Beach House Wedding

A Beach Wedding Dream Come True

Laiken and Ben’s wedding at the Sea-Esta Beach House was the definition of a relaxed, coastal celebration. Nestled in the Outer Banks, this oceanfront property offered the perfect backdrop for their intimate ceremony and laid-back reception. The couple exchanged vows on the sand, with the surf gently crashing behind them and a light breeze adding movement to Laiken’s flowing veil.

Relaxed Moments and Stunning Views

The couple made full use of the property’s charm—from the open balconies to the soft dunes leading to the shore. Their portraits featured barefoot walks along the beach, sweet stolen glances, and wide views of the Atlantic behind them. The wedding gallery reflects the calm energy of the day and the close bond between this couple and their loved ones.

A Sunset Reception to Remember

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Laiken and Ben’s reception began under string lights and soft twilight. Guests enjoyed drinks, laughter, and music as the celebration flowed naturally into the night. With the stars above and the ocean nearby, this wedding captured everything we love about destination weddings—personal, joyful, and anchored in love.

From the easy-going ceremony to the breezy portraits, this wedding was a true reflection of Laiken and Ben’s personalities and their deep connection.
