Calamigos Ranch Whimsical Wedding

Weddings

May 14, 2020

Jareena and Chris’ whimiscal fairytale wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California, was one of the most emotional and beautiful weddings I’ve ever been to. Not to mention the ENERGY – absolutely electrifying, EVERYONE was so fully in it to celebrate the couple and so happy and present. 

The venue, Calamigos Ranch, is absolutely stunning – all the fairy lights hanging from the trees makes for the dreamiest ceremony!

Jareena and Chris are two of the most kind-hearted, generous, thoughtful people I’ve met. Jareena’s like a real life Leslie Knope – positive and radiant, and spends all her hours thinking about how she can make other people happy. An absolute dream angel bride if you ask me!

To this day, I think about this day often and my lovely couple. I’m so grateful they trusted me to document their incredibly beautiful Calamigos Ranch wedding, and I can’t wait to see them again soon!

// thank you JuneBug Weddings for featuring their wedding!
