Intimate Private Estate Wedding in Malibu, California
The Southern California coast offers pristine ocean vistas with dramatic seaside bluffs unlike anywhere else in the world. This is where Sarah and Matt decided to host their wedding.
After a year of rescheduling, Sarah and Matt decided to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their family in a private estate in Malibu, California perched on a picturesque bluff overlooking the Pacific with access to a stunning private beach just steps below. After a private first look, the Bride and Groom’s family gathered on a private terrace overlooking the ocean for the ceremony. We were able to get some fabulous sunset portraits at the beach just below the estate. For the grand entrance, the groom’s father and sister performed a rendition of “Danny’s Song” for the first dance, an emotional highlight of a poignant and personal wedding day. Afterwards, the family sat together for a gourmet dinner, hosted by a private chef, all while toasting the night away with champagne.
Enjoy the images below of Sarah and Matt’s intimate Malibu wedding below. We also had the pleasure of photographing Sarah and Matt’s engagement session in Manhattan Beach, California earlier this Summer. Take a look at those beautiful photos here.
