Rustic Elegance in Malibu at Calamigos Ranch

Elegance infused with the perfect amount of outdoors, this Calamigos Ranch wedding is one for the books. Overflowing with beautiful blooms from McCann Florals and perfectly edited by Mindy & Co. Events, every image snapped up by Alders Photography makes my heart sing, and I'm pretty sure they will make your heart sing too. 

From Alders Photography....Where both the bride and groom got ready with their bride’s maids and groom’s men. I especially loved Lauren’s amazing makeup & hair, and her stunning gown. Tyler’s striped tie and suspenders for all the men was a really great unique touch. After a quick ride over to Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, the wedding festivities began. The couple chose to see each other before the ceremony, and that gave us plenty of time for photos around the property. McCann Florist did an amazing job as always with their floral design. I loved the combination of the grey and black and white attire with the stunning colors of the bouquets and boutonnieres. I really loved the little touch the couple gave with bringing a metal tin tray to photograph the boutonnieres on!

The couple chose to be alone when they saw each other for the first time and it was such a sweet moment. Soon their wedding party joined them and we were off for photos. Then the ceremony took place at just the tight time for the perfect light. Lauren was just the sweetest during the nuptials, her emotions overwhelming her. Between tears of joy were smiles and laughter as well. It was so wonderful to document!

The reception was just gorgeous. This area at Calamigos might be my favorite for the reception. I really love being able to get above the tables to gain a unique perspective! Touching speeches from the groom’s brothers and the bride’s friends and mother kicked off a really fun night. Mindy Roderick of Mindy Events ensured that the day ran flawlessly!
