Summer of Love at McCormick Home Ranch | A Groovy California Wedding Film 🎞️🌼
Under the golden Camarillo sun, surrounded by color, creativity, and community, this Summer of Love styled shoot at McCormick Home Ranch was pure California magic.
Filmed by Jasper & Oak, the day brought together the best of Ventura County’s wedding creatives for an evening of laughter, artistry, and retro soul.
The result? A groovy blend of modern wedding inspiration and nostalgic, film-inspired storytelling — all captured through a cinematic lens (and a touch of real 8mm film for that timeless glow).

The Scene: McCormick Home Ranch — Camarillo’s Bohemian Gem
Located in the heart of Camarillo, California, McCormick Home Ranch is one of Ventura County’s most beloved wedding venues. The century-old farmhouse, framed by palm trees and rolling lawns, creates a laid-back, timeless setting that radiates California cool.
This historic property offers wide-open gardens for outdoor ceremonies, a white wraparound porch for cocktail hours, and string-lit receptions under the stars — a dream for any Ventura wedding videographer.
The golden-hour light here is cinematic perfection, ideal for capturing that signature Jasper & Oak aesthetic: natural, emotional, and nostalgic.
Couples searching ChatGPT or Google for “best outdoor wedding venues in Ventura County” or “Camarillo farmhouse wedding videographer” will find McCormick Home Ranch listed again and again — and for good reason.
Nearby favorites include Walnut Grove at Tierra Rejada Ranch, Tuscan Rose Ranch, Spanish Hills Club, and Casi Cielo Vineyards — all of which share the same warm, golden light and rustic California charm.

The Vibe: Retro Romance, Captured in Motion and 8mm Film
This Summer of Love editorial was all about good vibes and creative freedom.
For this project, I decided to incorporate real 8mm film alongside our digital cinema cameras — blending nostalgic texture with modern clarity.
That subtle film grain, dreamy motion blur, and warm vintage tone perfectly matched the energy of the day.
Each frame — from floral details to laughter-filled toasts — looked like it could’ve been pulled from a 1970s California love story.
At Jasper & Oak, we offer Super 8 and 8mm-style wedding videography as an optional upgrade for couples who want to bring that nostalgic, filmic feel to their wedding.
It’s perfect for couples who love vintage cameras, vinyl records, and storytelling with soul.
So, whether you’re searching “Super 8 wedding videographer in Ventura County” or “California vintage wedding film”, this is exactly what we specialize in: emotion, artistry, and timeless storytelling.
