Calamigos Ranch Engagement Photos | Cristina and Sean

3/18/2019

Cristina and Sean are having their wedding this October at Calamigos Ranch, so they opted to shoot engagement photos their too, to create a cohesive gallery photography. I love that idea! On a beautiful afternoon in March, we got to explore all over the dreamy grounds of Calamigos Ranch, from the ferris wheel to the carousel, from grassy meadows to chandelier-clad oak groves. What an incredible place and what a fun-loving couple! I'm so excited for your wedding this fall.

Calamigos Ranch Engagement Photos | Malibu Engagement Photography | Jenny & Parke

Jenny and Parke are a pair of globe-trotting lovebirds who seem to have friends and loved ones all over the world. Rather than just one wedding day, they've opted for a whole season of wedding celebrations and gatherings in California, Colorado, Connecticut, and England! This engagement party at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California, was their kick off celebration, complete with wine tasting, paddle boats, and ping pong on the lawn.

Jenny and Parke requested a quick engagement portrait session in the midst of the party, and Calamigos Ranch is the perfect location for that.

Elizabeth & Jake Wedding Photos | Calamigos Ranch, Malibu, CA | 05.16.15

6/7/2015

I first met Elizabeth when she was a bridesmaid in Jen & Cyrus' wedding last August. I was immediately struck by the close-knit bond the women shared with one another. They were—and are—truly friends for life. A few months later, the same crew of bridesmaids assembled again, this time for Elizabeth to marry Jake, the love of her life, on the evening of May 16th, 2015, at Calamigos Ranch.

With a history in event planning and many close friends offering their talents and services, Elizabeth made sure no detail was left unnoticed. One friend poured her vision and creativity into the many flower arrangements. Another friend brought his artistic vision to create the sense of space, even lighting scented candles that matched the mood of the occasion. The mother of the bride delicately hand wrote all the name cards. The veil was trimmed with lace from her mother's own wedding dress. Cactus Cooler (Jake's favorite!) refreshed guests during cocktail hour and a tree filled with butterflies (reminders of Elizabeth's father, who passed away earlier last year) greeted guests as they transitioned to the reception.

Jake and Elizabeth, thank you for your joy and love for one another! I am so excited for your life together as you show your friends and the world what real, Christlike love in marriage looks like!
