A Carmel Valley wedding is magical. The glowy light, stunning oak trees, sounds of the Carmel River, and the absolutely perfect weather. To capture a Gardener Ranch wedding nestled in the Carmel Valley hills, this 24-acre venue is a favorite! With its guest accommodations on site, weddings become an entire weekend event. The property offers a rustic charm in a beautiful natural setting, with spacious lawns and indoor spaces perfect for wedding ceremonies and receptions. You’ll never want to leave!

We arrived to Bailey and Evan’s wedding to the sounds of celebration. The ladies tucked away in the bridal suite, the clicking of champagne glasses and laughter. The guys playing cards and enjoying adult beverages, while getting fresh shaves and trims. We immediatly knew this was going to be a memorable day!

The day started with dress reviel with the bridemaids, a very sintamenal father-daughter first look, but the moment Evan laid eyes on his beautiful bride, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. The emotion was unreal and all you could feel is the connection these two had for one another and we couldn’t wait to capture it!

A beautiful ceremony as the sun set behind the hills, portraits thoughout the goregous gardens, a cocktail hour surrounding the pool, and a lavish reception. This Gardener Ranch wedding was perfection!
