A Camarillo Ranch House Wedding in Camarillo

Ariel and Alex met at a graduate school networking event and reconnected years later. They married on July 24, 2022 at Camarillo Ranch House in Camarillo, a Victorian house surrounded by gardens, a gazebo and a big red barn. Ariel's bridesmaids wore coral, Alex wore navy with his groomsmen in black, and the florals were peach, orange and white. The day moved from a first look on the porch to heartfelt vows at the gazebo, a reception on the lawn, a choreographed first dance and games under the string lights. Here is their Camarillo Ranch wedding, photographed by One and Only Production.

The Details

Ariel's floral lace gown hung in the window of the ranch house, alongside Alex's navy suit, tan shoes, their rings in a red box and an invitation styled with orange and peach blooms.

Ariel Gets Ready at Camarillo Ranch House

Ariel got ready in a Victorian bridal room inside Camarillo Ranch House, with a blue tufted settee, lace curtains and plenty of window light. Her bridesmaids wore coral robes, and her bouquet of peach and white blooms trailed a long orange ribbon.

Portraits Around the Ranch

Camarillo Ranch gave us a little of everything: the Victorian porch and steps, a formal garden with a fountain, the gazebo and the big red barn. We finished with the house lit up after dark.
