Bohemian Backyard Wedding in Ojai // Scotty & Eveline

This wedding was filled with lots of dogs, DIY touches, warm tones, and golden light. Eveline & Scotty bought their first home together this time last year and decided after they closed that they would forego a ‘wedding venue’ and turn their backyard into the perfect oasis for them to get married. They spent the next 9 months getting their landscaping and LOTS of DIY projects ready for their big day. Every part of Eveline & Scotty’s wedding had meaning. They got ready at home and at a friends house down the street, Scotty and all his groomsman wore Carhartt and Levi’s, there was a surf competition playing in the background on a laptop with local beer and whiskey being passed around. The girls choose their own mix-matched dresses that complimented Eveline’s stunning Grace Loves Lace gown perfectly; they looked like a bunch of goddesses. Eveline had friends do her hair and makeup and florals were done by the amazing Caitlyn of Fleur de Rye, who Scotty went to high school with. We shot all photos at spots around Ojai that Eveline & Scotty frequent regularly with their two pups, Abbott and Jake. It is quite a feat to tackle every detail of a wedding day on your own but Eveline & Scotty did it. I’m so happy they stayed true to what was most important to them and that we were there to capture it all!
