I love this couple and their wedding, and love even more that they were featured on Bridal Musings!

What made Emily and Matt's wedding day special at Quail Ranch in Simi Valley, Ca was their dream to have the perfect unperfect wedding that reflected their love and unconventional relationship. Emily dreamed of an unpolished look, fulfilling it with mismatched rose and cream bridesmaid dresses and free-form cascading bouquets. The two of them also dreamed of an outdoor wedding!

The name cards for each table were hand carved by a family member in Australia, and the historic ranch venue provided a rustic and unfettered platform for the mixed greenery and candle decor. The evening ended with not wedding cake, but donuts and french fries, to tie their love of the unorthodox together. But what really made this outdoor wedding special, was their wedding vows to each other said at the ceremony. The normally reserved couple wrote their own vows, mentioning their missing cat who played a part in their proposal from their ceremony, but also gushing tears over how this moment had finally come.

I had gotten to meet Emily and Matt much earlier that year, and it was such a blast finally photographing their Quail Ranch, Southern California wedding. Their engagement session at Vasquez Rocks is easily one of my favorite ever, so creating magic together again was definitely an incredible event.
