I’m thrilled to share this wonderful wedding from Amanda K Photography today! The rustic details and soothing natural setting of the Malibu Nature Preserve are like a breath of fresh air. It was the perfect place for Ashley and Brad to tie the knot. Ashley grew up outside, hiking and collecting tadpoles, so they were delighted to find such an earthy outdoor venue near Los Angeles for their wedding day. I love Ashley’s all-green wedding bouquet, flowing Sarah Seven dress, and the bridesmaid’s sky blue skirts and floral blouses. Enjoy all the whimsy, natural beauty, and pure gorgeousness!

“I tried to foster an environment that was familiar and honest. So I used basic materials like paper, metal, wood, glass and cement as my base design elements for DIY projects. Found branches, pinecones and moss coupled with folksy patterned fabrics adorned the tables, adding texture and color,” says Ashley.
