Wedding at the Camarillo Ranch foundation House

The wedding of Danny and Diana was full of wonderful traditions, laughter and tons of happy tears. Almost a year ago I got a phone call from a very sweet lady whose voice sounded very happy and she was on a mission. She wanted me to be the photographer for her wedding. Later I learned that she found me and contacted me from Alabama, where Danny and Diana were living at the time. The date of her wedding came as fast as the wind. That Saturday, as I arrived at Diana’s house here in Camarillo, I felt like I was at home!! Diana looked so beautiful in her gown! When we left the house to meet Danny at St. Mary Magdalen Chapel, where the wedding took place, I saw Danny looking so crisp and perfect waiting to see the girl of his dreams walking down the aisle with her daddy next to her. I felt goosebumps at that moment that will stay with me forever. After the ceremony ended, all of the family members stayed for photos with the new husband and wife. Since we had plenty of time, we had so much fun photographing just Diana and Danny at the Ranch House in Camarillo, where the reception took place. We almost spent 2 hours! If you have been photographed by me, you will understand; “one more…right here”. I even have a nickname, thanks to Joe Curley: Mrs. “one more shot”!! ;) The reception was perfect!! Beverly, of Leave It To Me events, did a stunning masterpiece. She took care of the smallest details that Diana had always dreamed of. The party was very successful and everyone rocked till midnight!! I had a blast! I really do at all of my weddings; I enjoy them as much as the guests do. ;)
Thank you Diana and Danny for giving me the opportunity to be a witness, through my lens, of an important day..Gracias! Thank you, Rene, for working hard and helping me with this event. Beverly, you are the best!!

Wedding at the Camarillo Ranch House

The wedding of Dave and Christy was a wedding that we waited a while for; it took place on the gorgeous grounds of the
Camarillo Ranch House.
I met Christy a few years back in a kick boxing class. That was fun! We have been friends ever since then. I was so honored when she asked me to be her wedding photographer. I felt so happy and excited to be there when she walked down the aisle to meet her future husband, Dave. The day of her wedding, Christy and the girls were getting ready at the Westlake Inn Hotel in Westlake Village. I love the grounds of this hotel for photos. We used them before the girls left in their limousine for the Ranch House.
The wedding was a total hit! The Red Barn, at the Ranch House, had never been used before for a wedding. We got to be the first ones to use it after its restoration. What a pleasure! The ceremony took place at the Ranch House, too; the location was perfect. Christy’s wedding day was just as she had imagined it would be. The staff at the Camarillo Ranch House did their best to accommodate any request that we had. Thank you guys! At this wedding, I got to enjoy the company of many lady friends that I have not seen for a while, such as, Andrea and Tricia. Thank you ladies for all of your help and for making me feel so welcome!!

Special thanks to Angelica and David for helping me with Christy’s wedding; you are the best!!
