Chris and Heather’s Ojai mountain wedding has it all.  Stunning scenery, perfect weather, fabulous decor, and to top all of that off, unbelievable photography by Mark Brooke.

The couple chose the tranquil tuscan villa and gardens of Belle Loreve for their venue.

The wedding ceremony took place in the upper garden with the backdrop of the Ojai mountains. 

Joni at Hearts Bloom in Santa Barbara created an aisle strewn with white petals and used purple orchid branches to add a vibrant splash of color to the mountain scenery.

Mark’s portraiture work never ceases to inspire!

Held under two open air tents, the reception featured a combination of long brown wood tables and round tables decorated with modern purple and green branch and orchid centerpieces.  Sonia of XOXO Bride coordinated the details to perfection.

Chandeliers overhead added an elegant touch to the rustic setting.

A mix of low and lush and tall branch centerpieces were used, giving the tents such an organic feel!

Tables without linens are my favorite - especially if they are beautiful dark wood dining tables.

A white lounge area provided an area for guests to relax…

… while inside the tent the crowd was dancing to music played by Santa Barbara DJs.

A purple and white orchid-topped cake by the bakery at Belle Loreve was the perfect sweet treat.
