Olivia + Hector | Romantic Calamigos Ranch Wedding
Olivia and Hector’s wedding at Calamigos Ranch was the perfect blend of timeless elegance, heartfelt emotion, and California magic. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the energy — calm, romantic, and overflowing with love. The couple wanted their film to feel nostalgic and dreamy, which made it the perfect day to mix digital and Super 8 film. There’s just something so special about that combination — crisp modern footage paired with the warmth and texture of vintage film. It truly brought their story to life in the most sentimental way.
A Romantic Setting at Calamigos Ranch
Nestled in the heart of Malibu, Calamigos Ranch is one of my favorite venues to film at. It’s surrounded by towering trees, golden sunlight, and that serene coastal breeze that makes every moment feel cinematic. Olivia and Hector chose a space that reflected their love story perfectly — romantic, natural, and full of beauty. From their emotional first look under the trees to their intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends, every frame was filled with heart.
Their wedding coordinator, @sophiakatarinaevents, curated every detail flawlessly, making sure the day flowed with ease and intention. It’s always such a gift to work with planners who value storytelling and help create moments that feel organic and real.
Thoughtful Details and Emotional Moments
Every single element of Olivia and Hector’s day reflected who they are as a couple — thoughtful, fun, and deeply connected. The florals by @honeybloomflorals added a soft, romantic touch to the venue, with warm neutrals and blush tones that paired beautifully with the natural surroundings.
Olivia looked absolutely stunning in her gown from @luv_bridal, with hair styled perfectly by @sarahfayebridal. I loved capturing the way Hector looked at her as she walked down the aisle — it was one of those moments that reminded me why I love filming weddings.
Their celebration was filled with joy and laughter. From the lively tunes by @extremedjservice, to the stunning live painting by @baileyartstudios, every part of the evening was intentional and full of heart. Guests enjoyed desserts from @randysdonuts, along with a gorgeous cake crafted by @larkcakeshop — the perfect sweet ending to a magical day.
The Magic of Super 8 Film
Olivia and Hector specifically asked for Super 8 film mixed into their wedding video, and I’m so glad they did. The grain, texture, and movement of film add something digital can’t replicate — it feels raw, real, and timeless. Watching their laughter, soft glances, and little in-between moments come to life through Super 8 brought such a nostalgic charm to their film. It gave their love story that cinematic, vintage feel they were dreaming of.
Filming days like this remind me why I love what I do. My goal is always to create something that feels true to each couple — a film that takes them back to the exact way the day felt. For Olivia and Hector, that meant warm light, natural laughter, and soft moments frozen in time.
