Reagan & Ken’s Wedding: Sherwood Country Club, Malibu

Reagan and Ken celebrated their marriage this past weekend with a double wedding.  On Friday, they had an intimate  family ceremony at Our Lady of Malibu.  Before their family dinner on the Malibu Pier, we had some time for a quick photoshoot at the beach.

It kinda reminds me of their engagement session from back in September.  Reagan wore her mother’s altered wedding dress; her favorite part of the new design was the deep V back.

On Saturday, they continued the celebration at Sherwood Country Club in Malibu for a more formal ceremony followed by reception.

As the ladies were getting ready, I took some detail shots.  The girls giggled at the “Doll-sized” corset.

Family formal shots were taken right at the ceremony site.  Some advice I give all my couples, is to write a list of family members they’d like in the family formal pictures, and then give that list to someone in the bridal party.  Reagan did and appointed her most organized bridesmaid.  I couldn’t believe it when we were done with ALL of the family formal pictures in about 10 minutes!!  Actually, I can believe it.  It really pays to be prepared.

With family formals done quickly, we had extra time to photograph the bridal party in different locations, including the front of the site.

The pathway leading to the picturesque waterfall is lined with thick rose trees on both sides.

I love Reagan’s veil.  I think it was taller than me with my arm lifted high!
