Ojai is an absolutely stunning town to get married in. How do I know? I grew up in Ojai, and after school at FIT in NYC, I returned this charming little town to start a beautiful life with my hubby.
The mountains, the trees, the perfect “Pink Moment” sunsets…all set the mood for almost supernaturally stunning weddings. They (whoever they are) say that Ojai is the Shangri La of the west. I must agree, it is pretty wonderful.
Anyway, here are a few pictures from a wedding that I planned for a long time friend and uber talented photographer, Jenna Marie. Her gorgeous rustic themed wedding took place at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa (a five star resort). Everything from the food to the flowers were a perfect reflection of Jenna and her husband Robert’s warm, down to earth personalities.

Ariel, everything about this wedding is elegant! The bouquets and details look amazing! And, I'm not sure, but are those little jars of honey? So pretty. As a fellow FIT former student, I am *so* glad to see examples of your work!
