Marcia initially reached out to have their Engagement photos done for their Wedding invitation. They didn’t need anything elaborate, just a few photos that are nice enough to put on the Wedding website. So going to Palos Verdes was an easy decision for us and there we went!
Just a month later, upon reviewing their Engagement photos and experience working with Stephanie, the couple had let us know they would love to have us again to document their Wedding day! It is actually quite a smart move to first get an Engagement session done before making the final decision on whether you and your Fiancรฉ would like the photographer and their work enough to hire them for your special day. We absolutely don’t mind it, and in fact encourages it so you both don’t get stuck on a deposit on a photographer you don’t love working with. If you have the same idea in mind, message us to find out how the process works!

Getting Ready at Airbnb Home in Malibu (12pm)
21711 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu 90265
On a February Saturday in Southern California, the sun was playing hide and seek with us. We started at the first location where the Bride, Marcia, got ready with the girls in an Ocean front Airbnb rental right off of PCH in Malibu.ย
Ceremony at Our Lady of Malibu Catholic Church (2pm)
3625 Winter Canyon Rd, Malibu, CA 90265
Live violin and piano music began to flow through the front door of the church, welcoming guests as they arrived. Wedding bells rang, the Bride arrived. She marched in with her youngest son, and walked down the isle to meet her husband, Brenden.
Just Married Portrait at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu (5pm)
327 Latigo Canyon Rd, Malibu, CA 90265
A couple hours later, with rested minds and refreshments, we arrived at beautiful Calamigos Ranch in Malibu to celebrate with extended family and friends. As the guests arrive and enjoyed themselves at the cocktail hour, we caught the last bit of sunlight at Golden Hour for some sweet heart portraits.ย
Reception at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu (6pm)
Birch Wood Room
With 3 Little Birds Event Planning, and coordination with the venue, the details tied in together beautifully at the Birch Wood Room. The room had an indoor and outdoor setting, which was perfect for the February weather. The string lights over the birchwood trees over white table linen and table settings on a hardwood deck, created a fairytale like atmosphere for the evening.
The evening party came with a sweet surprise organized by the bride to her groom, a live performance by Brenden’s favorite band, War. Alongside lively dueling pianos performance by Felix and Pianos, the dance floor turned into a private concert. It was filled with endless jazz, dances and just pure joy to end the evening.ย
