Camarillo Ranch Wedding : Grace + Matt

Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of my two wonderful friends, Grace and Matt! They said their I Do’s at the beautiful, historic Camarillo Ranch House in Camarillo, California, with the ceremony taking place outdoors on the lawn and the party continuing on all night in the barn.

There was so much attention to detail that went in to planning Grace and Matt’s big day, all of which came together so perfectly! One of my favorite parts of this wedding was that Matt’s father, Frank, built most of the pieces – the alter, the wooden doors that Grace walked through at the bottom of the aisle, the centerpieces, the signs, and more. There were games during cocktail hour that even featured some of the photos from our engagement session, including Cornhole and a huge Connect Four – such a cool idea! The barn reception was one of the most enchanting I’ve seen, with stunning drapery, twinkly lights and big M + G marquee letters above the head table. The party was such a huge hit, that even Bailey the LA Kings mascot stopped by to join in on the fun!

This wedding was not only a blast for me to photograph, but it was particularly special for me because my girlfriend Katy happened to be Grace’s Maid of Honor. It was definitely a family affair and I am so honored that I got to take part in such a beautiful day! Live Laugh Avila! I can’t wait to photograph my next Camarillo Ranch Wedding!
