SoCal Venue Spotlight: Calamigos Ranch
As I drove through the Santa Monica mountains for the first time, my heart fluttered in anticipation for the day. Camille & Clay would be married that September day at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, CA, one of SoCal's most enchanting wedding venues. Shaded by the perfect greenery and decorated with trickling waterfalls & twinkling fairy lights, I felt like I had stepped out of Los Angeles county and entered into an oasis that was perfect for a storybook, outdoor wedding.
