Kristel and Michael's Ojai Dream

FEATURED ON GREEN WEDDING SHOES

How many times can we pinch ourselves? This day brought a new definition to magical and we will forever have the best daydreams about it. The wedding took place at Red Tail Ranch, a venue with the most effortless California-cool vibe. We we're constantly ooo-ing and aaa-ing over the mountain view and lush landscape surrounding the property. To add to the beautiful setting, the energy between Kristel and Michael was such a joy to witness - their post-ceremony portrait session was full of laughs, smiles and gazes that had us starry-eyed. It was the sweetest reminder of how amazing love is. Now we could dedicate an entire paragraph to the vibrant florals & breathtaking decor but instead we'll let you keep scrolling so you can see for yourselves!

Jaclyn & Ross got hitched at Hummingbird Nest Ranch

Hummingbird Nest Ranch Wedding // Where to start! We got to know these two lovely souls when we photographed their engagement session in Downtown Los Angeles. It was a total blast so naturally we were looking forward to their wedding day at the beautiful Hummingbird Nest Ranch - It was an absolutely inspiring day from start to finish. Every detail was SO visually and emotionally beautiful and we got to work with a few of our favorite vendors - Kayla Vie, an amazing planner + Twig & Twine Florals. We filled up on love + good vibes and were exhausted (the good kind of tired!) by the dance party & heat. Needless to say, we dreamt AND slept well after. 

More photos from the stunning Hummingbird Nest Ranch below :)

Yari & Dario's Joshua Tree Elopement

 

Yes we are always up for an adventure but when Yari and Dario said that we'd be heading out to Joshua Tree National Park we were like two kids on Christmas eve night! Elopements hold a special place in our hearts - documenting a private, intimate ceremony between two individuals is truly one of the most magical things we've ever witnessed. With Yari and Dario, it was impossible not to tear up over their bond and the warmth that existed between them. They had picked out a completely surreal spot to exchange vows, it was pure sky and trees for days - it really felt like a little slice of heaven just for us. Alright, enough! But seriously.. such an amazing day! Scroll for more :)

Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse - Gina and Chad

 

That California sun did it again and what a dream it was. We are so excited to share Gina and Chad's beautiful, golden Los Olivos wedding with you!

It was a very intimate wedding whose attendees traveled from all over the country to see these two lovebirds get hitched. Gina & Chad call Florida home but found Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse as the perfect backdrop for their destination wedding in California.

Fun was had by all (the photos say it all..) and jeez, these people know how to dance! We hope you love the photos below as much as we do.

Anne and Richie get hitched at Union Station

We were SO excited when we found out that Anne and Richie had made plans to get hitched at Union Station in Downtown LA. With marble floors and light-filled rooms, the transportation hub is beautiful as-is but using it for a wedding? Best idea ever. Annie and Richie combined tradition with their quirky style and the whole night was so uniquely them. Take a look at their lovely wedding day below..

The Adventure of Holli & Jordan

 

Sweet fact about these two: They grew up as next door neighbors! Holli and Jordan opted out of a first look but they shared the most lovely silent moment on opposite sides of the fence that separated them as kids. Jordan hand-built all of the wood pieces + furniture you see in these photos which was a really cool sight to see. When two people love adventuring as much as these kids do - you know that they are going to put on a wedding for the books. And they sure did! Scroll down for some good, fun vibes :)

A Farm Wedding In Cayucos, CA - Christine & Ryan

If you've never visited the central coast of California, specifically Cayucos you are really missing out. Pack your bags and go now! Christine and Ryan got hitched at Cottontail Creek Ranch and their day was nothing but a dream. There was a beautiful sea mist lingering that made way for the loveliest blue sky just in time for the ceremony. We loved that these two chose to accentuate the natural colors of the landscape in their attire and decor, the only decorations being flora and LEMONS. Truly a perfect day.. See more below!

Destination Wedding In Washington D.C. - Courtney & Kyle

 

Courtney and Kyle brought us along for their classic destination wedding in Washington D.C.  The wedding took place at the ever-so-elegant National Museum of Women in the Arts - The grandeur atmosphere really set the tone for the night. We headed to the Washington Memorial to shoot their portraits - what a treat! These two are so playful together and we were so lucky to experience that at both their wedding and engagement session. Thanks for being a fun couple to be around!
