Whimsical Calamigos Ranch Wedding | Kevin and Amy

We had the pleasure of photographing Kevin and Amy’s wedding at the rustic Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. There are many different locations to choose from at Calamigos, but the intimate Ranch House was the perfect choice for Amy’s vision to come to life. White lights, pink flowers with ribbons hung whimsically from the trees. With pink champagne, cotton candy party favors, an abundance of pink roses, peonies, hydranga’s fragrantly filling the air, it was beautiful. A delicious buffet dinner was accompanied by heartfelt toasts by their siblings. Guests flew in from all over the world as far away as Haiti! The party kicked off with plenty of dancing, a swanky cigar bar, and the always popular photobooth.  As you can see below Amy and Kevin’s wedding looked amazing.

I always tell my clients how important it is to have a good wedding planner to ensure the day goes smoothly and a big thanks to Deborah and Mindy from Bella Vita Events for always going the extra mile for their clients (and vendors). She’s one of the very best. My friend…the talented Brian Starkman from BGS Productions cinematically captured the day on video. Michael from West Hills Flower Shoppe provided what seemed like 50 shades of pink flowers. And Diana from Emily Rose Papers did the beautiful invitations and calligraphy for the table settings and other details throughout the reception.

Paradise Cove Engagement Session Photos|Mark and Anna

This was such a fun engagement session at the beach in Malibu. I had a great time photographing these two young lovebirds at Paradise Cove where Anna’s grandparents live. They were just so sweet and a little nervous before the shoot which is totally normal. Being nervous before an engagement session isn’t always a bad thing. It’s just a matter of turning that nervous energy into something wonderful through laughter and just having fun. I loved the energy between these guys and even though it was a cold and windy day at the beach, you’d never know it!

Cabo Azul Resort Destination Wedding Photos | Mike + Michelle

Fun Cabo Azul Wedding Photos:

I just returned from another amazing wedding at the luxurious Cabo Azul Resort in San Jose del Cabo. Cabo Azul has always been one of our most favorite resorts to photograph weddings at, but it’s even more so now, since they just named us the only approved U.S. based Wedding Photography Studio! We’re honored. A special thanks to Georgina who is the head wedding coordinator there at the resort.

What can I say about Mike and Michelle other than they are such a great couple, full of positive energy and good humor.  You could really feel the love they share for one another. They went out of their way to make me feel so welcome and part of their group.

It was an extra special time because Michelle is pregnant and  during the cake cutting they announced ,via the red colored icing, that they are expecting a baby girl soon. Baby Charlotte! It was a very sweet moment …no pun intended. One of the most memorable and energetic moments of the evening was seeing the Samba dancers, who arrived from Cuba, hit the dance floor and show the gringos how to shake them hips! And actually many of their friends and even Michelle and Mike’s moms really kept up well! I was impressed.

Another memory that I have yet to put out of my mind was watching Maranda’s leg getting thoroughly seduced with the freshly caught garter from the lucky catcher. It was like no other seduction I’ve seen before. He really stepped up and took charge of that opportunity and had everyone laughing their ass off.

Destination weddings for me are the combination of both things I love to shoot most. Weddings and Travel. It truly is the dream job and I’m always grateful for the opportunity to document my couple’s day.
