Did you watch Mitch & Cam’s wedding on Modern Family? I was excited to see one of my favorite wedding venues on the show – the beautifully rustic Calamigos Ranch in Malibu.

I loved photographing Bailey and Aleksey’s wedding at Calamigos last summer. They held their ceremony outside amid the tall oaks and redwoods. The parasols were a beautiful added touch.

I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the bride before she put on her dress.

Aleksey fixes his tie as he waits for his bride. I loved the outdoor chandeliers in the walkway.
