Angie and Jordan's wedding at the enchanting Quail Ranch in Simi Valley was a vibrant celebration of love, family, and unique style. Held on the magical summer equinox, their special day was a true reflection of their personalities, leaning into an eclectic, vintage vibe with an abundance of warm hues, playful touches, and deeply tender moments.
The Bride’s Oasis
For Angie and her bridesmaids, the morning unfolded in the stunning, newly renovated Poolside Retreat. This exquisite space was an absolute dream for pre-wedding preparations. As soon as you stepped inside, you were greeted by the vibrant charm of Spanish tiles, a beautiful foundation for a day filled with color and joy.
The true highlight of the Poolside Retreat was the abundance of natural light streaming in through the magnificent French doors. This bright and airy atmosphere was perfect for capturing those precious getting-ready moments – from the intricate details of Angie's dress to the joyful laughter shared amongst friends. With a full bathroom and generous seating, there was ample space for everyone to relax, touch up, and soak in the excitement of the special day. It was truly the ideal sanctuary for Angie and her wedding party to prepare, surrounded by beauty and bathed in the soft glow of the California sun.
While the ladies were getting ready, the gentlemen of the wedding party had their own perfectly appointed space in the original Ranch Office. This isn't just any getting-ready room; it's a step back in time to the heart of Quail Ranch. With its rich, dark wood paneling, impressive hand-hewn beams, and an original flagstone fireplace, the room exudes a timeless, stately charm.
The guys could relax and make themselves at home on the comfortable leather sofa and chairs, perhaps enjoying a game of pool on the full-sized table – a perfect way to ease any pre-wedding jitters. French doors opened out into a private courtyard, offering a breath of fresh air and additional seating amidst lush greenery. This private oasis allowed for quiet moments or lively conversations, all in a setting that felt both refined and incredibly comfortable. It was the ideal spot for Jordan and his wedding party to prepare, share stories, and soak in the excitement before the big moment.
Quail Ranch itself, steeped in meaning for its owners, provided the perfect backdrop. The symbol of the Quail, representing strength, family, protection, and inspiration, felt especially fitting for Angie and Jordan's union. You could almost feel the spirit of endurance and love thriving throughout the grounds.
The Ceremony
As the sun began its descent, we stole Angie and Jordan away to a picturesque overlook at Quail Ranch. What unfolded was pure magic. The light was simply breathtaking – a creamy, golden hue that enveloped them in a warm embrace. It was the kind of light that cinematographers dream of, casting a romantic glow over the landscape.
In this idyllic setting, Angie and Jordan were playful and deeply romantic. There was a lightness to their interactions, a comfortable joy that radiated as they laughed and held each other close. Yet, within those moments of shared laughter, there were also instances of profound tenderness – a gentle gaze, a soft touch, a quiet whisper that spoke volumes about their love.
Watching them against the backdrop of the golden hills, there was an undeniable feeling of stepping into a scene from Pride and Prejudice. The soft light, their elegant attire, and the palpable affection between them created an atmosphere of timeless romance. These moments at the overlook weren't just photographs; they were captures of genuine love in its most beautiful and radiant form, etching a memory of pure, golden happiness into their wedding day.
The Romantics
The Reception
Every detail of the decor showcased Angie's meticulous vision. Tables were adorned with lush floral arrangements featuring the chosen warm palette, and unexpected touches like vibrant citrus fruits added a fresh, zesty flair. We loved capturing the candid beauty shots of these elements, knowing how much heart went into them.
Make it stand out.
The day was filled with genuine joy and laughter. The couple’s desire for "fun and silliness" shone through in countless moments, especially during their lively cocktail hour, where the sounds of a mariachi band filled the air, getting everyone in the festive spirit. But amidst the playful energy, there were also quiet, tender moments – a stolen glance, a gentle touch – that truly highlighted their profound connection.

Angie and Jordan's wedding was a testament to their love story – unique, vibrant, and full of heartfelt emotion. It was a day where every candid smile, every thoughtful detail, and every tender embrace contributed to a truly unforgettable experience. We wish Angie and Jordan a lifetime of continued joy, color, and enduring love, just like the quail that thrive at their beautiful wedding venue.
