The Wedding: Tradition Meets ELEGANCE at Calamigos
This Jewish wedding was a feast for the eyes and soul. Picture this:
- A custom chuppah bursting with colorful blooms
- A heartfelt ketubah signing with family all around
- Glass-breaking joy, followed by a dance floor that stayed packed
From the moment the couple said “I do” to the last hora spin, the day felt intentional, emotional, and high-vibe. The floral design leaned into bold palettes — oranges, fuchsia, and pops of blue, perfectly complementing Calamigos’s natural setting.

RECEPTION AT BIRCHWOOD IN CALAMIGOS
One of the most underrated parts of any wedding weekend? The rehearsal dinner. This couple used the opportunity to celebrate their inner circle, host heartfelt speeches, and kick off the weekend in an intimate, meaningful way.
Set under sycamores with ambient candlelight, this pre-wedding dinner looked straight out of a magazine. Guests were greeted with custom cocktails and shared plates — a total Malibu moment.
As a wedding photographer who’s seen it all — the new energy at Calamigos is chef’s kiss. A few reasons I’m loving it lately:
- The golden hour light is unbeatable
- Vendor-friendly policies make my job easier (and your day smoother)
- You get that LA luxury vibe without losing the magic of the outdoors
