Fast forward seven years to Amy and Brian. Amy and Brian had originally dreamed of getting married in an old Victorian House in Virginia, where Amy is from. After considering all the planning and accommodations necessary to plan a destination wedding, Amy and Brian decided to wed in California, but needed a venue that had the charm of historic Virginia. You guessed it! Camarillo Ranch House had all the charm they needed, and a Big Red Barn too!
As a wedding photographer, I’ve never had the opportunity to shoot a wedding at the Camarillo Ranch House. So when Amy contacted me and let me know she was getting married there, I almost jumped out of my chair. I was so excited when I emailed her, that Mike said I probably scared her off and I should write emails to potential clients with fewer exclamation points. I like exclamation points! And fortunately Amy wasn’t scared off by them.
Amy and Brian – thank you so much for inviting me to document your incredible wedding day at a place that is so near and dear to me, and I hope that the Camarillo Ranch House is now as special and meaningful to you two.

The beautiful flowers were provided by Tiana of The Exotic Green Garden.

I normally don’t post ring shots, but I loved this display of spools of thread!

Amy has the longest hair! The two times I met her before the wedding she had it up so I had no idea how long it was!




The left is the view OUT of the bridal room, the view on the right is the view INTO the bridal room and Amy and her mom spying on the guests right before the ceremony!

I commented on Brian’s Superman ring during our initial client consultation. He’s a big fan. He even walked down the aisle to the Superman theme song! I LOVE personal touches like that! There’s no right or wrong when planning your wedding, the more you make it about YOU the more your guests will love and remember it all!


There’s a waterfall off to the side of the ceremony site.


I was loving how the wind was catching her veil and hair.


The Big Red Barn! The Camarillo Ranch House just recently upgraded the barn. It wasn’t useable when I was married there. It’s outfitted with two plasma TVs too!



Superman. A running theme.![]()

The candy bar! Dessert/Candy bars are so popular right now…guests LOVE them! The cake was provided by the amazing Jana of Jana’s Creative Cakes. She also did the cake at Erika’s wedding!
