Andrew & Martha
A first look tucked between the olive trees, a redwood-shaded ranch house behind them, and a wedding built entirely around the outdoors.
The way it felt.
Andrew got ready under the redwoods that morning, and their first look happened right there among the olive trees, Martha laughing before he'd even finished turning around.
The rest of the day stayed outdoors almost entirely, which is exactly what this property rewards. We kept the film close to the two of them and let the ranch's redwoods and open grounds carry the wider shots.
On Calamigos Ranch.
Calamigos Ranch sits in Malibu Canyon, a working ranch turned event property with redwood groves, olive trees, and a lake at its center. It is one of the most genuinely rustic venues we shoot in Los Angeles, real wood and real trees rather than a designed approximation of them, and the canyon holds cool, filtered light well into the afternoon even on a hot Malibu day.
