Calamigos Ranch, Malibu, Los Angeles, California

Outdoor weddings at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu are always a blast.  The Calamigos Ranch has such an enchanting rustic charm which fit Rebekah and Adam perfectly.  This couldn’t be a more perfect wedding venue for the two!  Their down-to-earth nature and their love of the outdoors embodies everything about the Calamigos Ranch’s style. It was an excellent and fitting choice to celebrate their love for each other.

A couple days before their wedding, the los angeles weather decided to play a trick on us and it oddly enough started raining pretty hard.  We were all a bit concerned that the storm might persist into the wedding day.  However, despite that the forecasts predicted a rainy Saturday, these two were troopers through it all.  They kept fingers crossed and miraculously the day was perfect.  Good weather held up and the wedding was beautiful.  The Calamigos Ranch looked gorgeous and Rebekah and Adam glowed like the two young people they are in love.  I had a ton of fun shooting their wedding, here’s a look at a few photos from their wedding day at the Calamigos Ranch in Malibu.

Two of the cutest ringbearers ever!  Way cool outfits and high fives all the way around!Nothing more romantic than getting married under a tall oak tree.

Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey, Los Angeles

The MDR Ritz-Carlton is a stunning place to have a wedding.  Within the Ritz there is a gorgeous rose garden that has the most beautiful altar to get married in.  Additionally, the Ritz is right on the Marina del Rey harbor so it has some gorgeous views.  It’s always a lot of fun to shoot at the Marina del Rey Ritz-Carlton.

This wedding goes down as one of my most fun weddings to shoot!  It was an action-packed day filled with nuptials, ridiculously good food, awesomely choreographed dances and a killer 80′s cover band.  Way too much fun!  Here is a glimpse into this amazing wedding I shot at the Marina del Rey Ritz Carlton.

A stunning Vera Wang dress.  The details within this dress were amazing!  Along with this gorgeous dress were the perfect Christian Louboutin shoes!  Last but not least, was a drop-dead beautiful bride to complete the package.Soft and romantic bride and groom wedding portrait photographs at the MDR Ritz-Carlton.  The bride loved classic modern and these photographs just ooooze their contemporary style.I’m always a sucker for the emotion of a wedding day.  Look how happy and excited these two are!  I love this photograph as it tells so much and paints such a vivid story.  It always makes me happy to see couples in love like this.  What a beautiful wedding.The Marina del Rey Ritz-Carlton rose garden is gorgeous.  The altar is a mix of traditional and roman design.The bride and groom love to do beach waterfront sports and one of their favorite places to vacation is Hawaii.  They incorporated this beach theme flawlessly throughout their wedding.  All the decor was done with a clean and contemporary eye.  From the guest-sign in table to the reception, everything was absolutely beautiful.This wedding cake was to die for!  It was meticulously covered with carefully positioned edible flowers and fondant coral patterns.  Way too cool.The bride and groom started off with a romantic first dance and then halfway through they switched pace to a super fun dance.  It was one of the coolest first dances I’ve seen.The highlight of the night was when the dance floor kicked off and the bride and groom revealed the special surprise: an 80′s cover band!  They had hired Fast Times to kick off the jams and boy did they!!  Everyone of the band was dressed up as their favorite 80′s musician.  Not only did they look the part but they killed it music wise.  I got the lucky pleasure of working while listening to all my favorite 80′s songs.  It was a stellar night.Mickey Spillone lives!!  Anyone order a pizza?!!Air guitars and inflatable microphones.  This wedding rocked out…literally!To close the night, the bride and groom thought of just about everything and even had a midnight snack.  Kobe beef sliders!  Yum!

By far this was one of the coolest weddings I’ve ever photographed.  It was a total honor to be a part of their special day.  The MDR Ritz is such a beautiful location for weddings and the 80′s cover band totally rocked the night!  It’s days like this that make me love my job as a Los Angeles wedding photographer.
