Kimberly and Zack on Green Wedding Shoes

We came across this gem today.  Kimberly and Zack’s rustic, boho chic wedding at the ranch was featured on Green Wedding Shoes!  Green Wedding Shoes (GWS)  is a great resource dedicated to helping couples plan the DIY wedding of their dreams.  They feature real weddings as well as tips and creative ideas for DIY weddings.  GWS can also recommend great artists for all different types of projects!

Kimberly and Zack got married last year at the ranch, and their wedding was the epitome of mix and match gone right! Their bridesmaids and groomsmen tastefully picked out their own dresses and suits and they looked fabulous! Kimberly choose amazing wild flower bouquets and centerpieces which were absolutely stunning. We loved all the personal touches they added and how they mixed the shabby chic vibe of the ranch with elegant accents and place settings. It was quite a lovely event, and we are so happy they were featured on GWS!

Marissa + Matt – Engagement Session – Derek Chad Photography

A lot of times we focus on weddings, however Leo Carrillo Ranch is also a great place for engagement pictures! Our beautiful ranch  sits in the heart of a 27 acre canyon which boasts amazing plant life consisting of an array of flowers including birds of paradise, succulents, gorgeous agave, and an abundance of trees.  Couples can explore our historic ranch and soak in all the history while looking for the perfect spot to capture their love. We have no doubt that you will find that perfect place! If you are are lucky you might even see some of our friendly peacocks which reside on the ranch.

Jacklyn + Ryan – France Photographers – Leo Carrillo Ranch

Jacklyn and Ryan got married at Leo Carrillo Ranch exactly 4 weeks ago.  In the midst of this fickle San Diego summer, they lucked out with a perfectly sunny day. We are lucky that Rachel from France Photographers suggested our “hidden gem” of a venue to this wonderful couple. Jacklyn and Ryan are a very laid back couple and Leo Carrillo ranch fit their needs and personalities perfectly. They fell in Love with the Ranch and we fell in love with them! France Photography did a wonderful job of really capturing the love and happiness of this adorable couple.  Congrats to these newly weds!
