Saddlerock Ranch Wedding in Malibu

January 29, 2023

Nat and Joe made it official at their Saddlerock Ranch wedding in Malibu. These two are the definition of chill vibes, and my kind of people. Their main goal for their wedding was for their friends and family to have the night of their lives. During cocktail hour they set up yard games and churros. The reception was full of all your favorite 90’s hiphop (which if you know me, makes me very happy).

When I first got to Saddlerock Ranch, the girls were getting ready and I could feel Nat’s nerves. The second her and Joe had their first look and were together it became a party with the whole crew and vibes were high.

The details – Saddlerock Ranch Wedding in Malibu

Their mix of bold fonts and pops of color in their wedding decor made for an epic backdrop in the Malibu hills. They had expressed to me that they really didn’t want to spend a ton of time taking photos, but more time at their party with their people. I LOVE this attitude. My goal is always to get you back to your party. You spend so much time and money planning this one moment, and all of your people are only in one place, this one time. I want you to truly be able to be present and enjoy it. She told me she doesn’t love being the center of attention and really just wanted to celebrate and enjoy the party with everyone. I can totally relate, and I love that they kept the day chill, with emphasis on having fun.

During dinner Nat asked me if I could take a photo of their reception from their head table perspective. She wanted to remember that moment, as they saw it. To this day I now do this at every wedding. I have you to thank for that Nat!

I couldn’t have had a better experience working with these two at their Saddlerock Ranch Wedding in Malibu. Love you guys!!!
