This is Melissa and Michael and their wedding was an October event held at the Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. CA.
To see more of my wedding photography coverage from this event (over 100 more pictures actually) in an animated video please check out this wedding video from photography stills at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, CA.
This first image shown was a quickly done photograph taken just minutes after the ceremony on one of the several wooden bridges you find at the Calamigos Ranch.
Of course we began the photography much earlier in the day with ready shots of both the bride and the groom.
My wedding photography coverage always includes a fusion (or mixture) of photojournalism, editorial and posed. And whenever I mention the word “posed”, I feel I must add that we can do as little or as much as you like. And although this couple had a lot of requests for posed work of both their rather large wedding party and their families, they were such a fun couple that when it was all said and done, I still had many more candid, photojournalistic images than posed.
The image below on the right, might be on of my favorites of the day. It is the bride’s father and brother as they see her for the first time in her gown. It just goes to show its not only the women who can get a little choked up…
The first look…
A small sampling of portrait work…
Their wedding ceremony was at the very picturesque Garden Patio which features waterfalls at each end and at night the trees and redwood arbor illuminate with strings of lights.

Their reception was in the Calamigos Ranch Main Dining Room which is just a few steps away. One of the room’s most memorable features is the romantic “waterfall”, a curtain of water that descends like a light rain just outside the glass widows of the south wall. To see more room shots from Calamigos Ranch and also the Calamigos Equestrian please go to my wedding reception room shots post.
This was a fun couple and it was a very high energy night with most of the guests on the dance floor for most of the night.
My congratulations to Melissa and Michael. My your life together be blessed with good health and good fortune.
