Northern California Garden wedding

Group of friends enjoy Cocktail hour overlooking vinyard

If you’re looking for a unique, beautiful wedding venue in the hills of Northern California- Look no further. Carmel Valley Ranch is a stunning resort in Carmel California. Nestled in the hills this vineyard and LAVENDER farm makes for a beautiful upscale garden wedding.

This couple had a beautiful garden ceremony and then the guests headed to the most beautiful cocktail hour. The view was expansive, overlooking rolling hills. During their Romantic portraits we wandered the vineyard and even got to pet a llama. It was such a serendipodous moment as it just walked by during our photo session! (but you can hire the llama for your pictures if you choose.)

The reception was lively and full of joy. Speeches had friends and family laughing until they cried.

I had Flown into San Francisco a few days prior and got to live a bucket list item of mine- Wandering the redwoods. The old growth forest left me in awe before i even got to this whimsical, wonderful wedding.

Northern California is such a magical place for a photoshoot becuase in the evening the fog creeps in, in a really awe inspiring way.
