A Starry Fall Wedding at Calamigos Ranch

Fall Wedding at Calamigos Ranch, bride and groom portraits

Love under the stars

Hillary + Dirk’s fall wedding was one of my all time favorites. I mean I love all my clients, but for real these two are the real deal. They are some of the kindest, most loving people and so supportive. I met Hillary through two of my good friends and we had a great initial meeting. She was recently promoted to the VP of Communications at Pop TV so she’s had a lot of insight to give me for my business to grow and always sending referrals my way. For that I’m always so grateful!

Their fall wedding was truly a dream! From the customized dresses and tuxes, to the amazing flowers by Flower Girl Los Angeles, everything turned out so beautifully last November. I loved the mix of moody, darker hues with pops of soft blushes. It gave this fall wedding such a fresh feel! Her dress was to die for paired with her beautiful bouquet and flower crown. Hillary was a stunning bride! Because of the timing for a fall wedding, their ceremony took place just as the sun was setting, letting guests enjoy Malibu’s starry night. Calamigos Ranch never disappoints and every wedding I do there, I fall more in love with that location!

Enjoy the photos below! Cheers to love, good people and clients becoming friends! Wishing Hillary + Dirk years of love and happiness together!

Hi, I'm Kari.
Wedding Planner, Podcaster, & Creative Entrepreneur.

The founder and lead planner behind Feathered Arrow Studio. Over the past 11 years, I’ve designed and executed more than 175 weddings throughout Southern California, helping couples create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautiful.

My approach blends thoughtful design with genuine hospitality. I care deeply about how a wedding feels not just how it looks. I want every detail to be intentional and every guest to feel taken care of. Together we take your inspiration, your story, and your priorities and turn them into a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.

Not every couple needs full-service planning, which is why I also offer wedding consults and planning guides for those navigating the process on their own. I’m also the co-host of Just Another Biz Podcast, where we have honest conversations about the wedding industry with fellow creatives behind the scenes.
