Sabrina & Mehrdad’s Persian & Pakistani Wedding at Calamigos Ranch

A Persian & Pakistani Wedding at Calamigos Ranch

Sabrina and Mehrdad’s wedding at Calamigos Ranch was a beautiful celebration of two families, two cultures, and one incredible day in Malibu.

Bringing together Persian and Pakistani traditions, their wedding was filled with meaningful details, family, emotion, and those little unscripted moments that make multicultural weddings so special to photograph.

Calamigos Ranch gave us the perfect setting for it all. Between the greenery, rustic architecture, romantic outdoor spaces, and changing Malibu light, we had an incredible amount of variety for both candid moments and timeless portraits without taking Sabrina and Mehrdad away from their celebration for too long.

Photographing a Persian & Pakistani Wedding

One of our favorite parts of photographing multicultural weddings is seeing how two families bring their traditions together in a way that feels completely their own.

For us, documenting a Persian and Pakistani wedding isn’t just about photographing the major events on the timeline. We’re watching the families, traditions, details, reactions, and little interactions happening around them—the moments that often become some of the most meaningful photographs in the final gallery.

Having photographed South Asian, Persian, Arab, and multicultural weddings throughout California, our team understands how quickly these celebrations can move and how important family and cultural traditions can be.

We take time before the wedding to understand what matters most to each couple and their families, so when those once-in-a-lifetime moments happen, we’re ready for them.

Wedding Photography at Calamigos Ranch

Calamigos Ranch is one of those Malibu wedding venues that gives us something different to work with around every corner. From the lush greenery and towering trees to the rustic architecture and romantic outdoor spaces, there are endless opportunities to create beautiful photographs without pulling our couples away from their celebration for too long.

For Sabrina and Mehrdad, we focused on a mix of candid storytelling and editorial portraits—capturing the big moments, family traditions, and all the little interactions happening in between.

Having photographed weddings throughout Malibu and Southern California, we’ve learned that great wedding photography isn’t about turning the day into one long photoshoot. It’s about knowing when to step in with direction and when to step back and let the moment happen naturally.

That’s exactly how we approached Sabrina and Mehrdad’s Calamigos Ranch wedding: giving them space to enjoy their day while making sure the people, emotions, cultural traditions, and beautiful Malibu setting were all part of their story.
