An Ojai Private Estate Wedding: The Marino Celebration

The Marino wedding paired an intimate estate ceremony with refined garden portraits and a sunset creative session on the Malibu coast.

The Marino celebration began at a private estate in Ojai, where a small guest list and garden setting kept the ceremony personal. A clean ivory and blush palette carried through the flowers, attire, and family portraits.

The couple later created a second portrait chapter on the coast, trading the quiet garden for sandstone cliffs and a glowing sunset.

Garden Portraits and Vows

Hedges, stone walls, and shaded paths gave the couple a refined setting for first-look and family portraits.

From Ojai to the Coast

The later portrait session used the open beach, warm sandstone, and the last direct light of the day for a more cinematic finish.
