A little something blue at the Ranch goes a long way. For A + J, they nailed the sweet and settle look for this spring time wedding. With a simple paper garland on our Pepper Tree and mini Chinese lanterns strung throughout the Wash House, the ceremony space had a light and fun feel to it. A classic Navy look with a pop of Seamist made it equally charming for the reception, along with their sweetheart table that showcased sequins and a creative origami backdrop!

A plus side to getting married at the Ranch in the Spring are those unforgettable photo ops with our Peacocks! Paige Nelson Photography definitely hit the jackpot for A + J’s photos with our friends of the Ranch. Take a look!

Get ready for a drop dead gorgeous Ranch wedding that you’re about to see from Allie Lindsey Photography! There was just way too much prettiness for K + J’s big day that we needed to blog this. Everything from their ceremony and reception down to the captured spots, made rustic elegance an understatement – and let’s not forget their delicious donut bar display! We were so thankful to have witnessed their love, and to have shared their special day with them!

First Looks at the Ranch | Leo Carrillo Ranch

Having a wedding at the Ranch comes with many perks, mainly the grounds itself! The original architecture gives it that rustic and Spanish charm, along with the beautiful landscape that surrounds the venue. With over 20 acres of land, our couples take advantage of all areas that the Ranch has to offer when it comes to the perfect backdrop for their photos.

When it comes to the First Look, this is one of the most special moments for the bride and groom, and having the right location means everything. Take a look from past weddings at the different spots that photographers have used to create that picture perfect First Look!

Our courtyard is one of the most popular locations for the First Look. The luscious bougainvillea  makes a statement for any photo op!

The front of the Hacienda gives the photo that romantic and Spanish feel to the First Look.

A first look with pathways, greenery and tons of cacti calls for that rustic indulgence!

And we have those photographers who love Dee Dee’s House for an intimate and secluded first look.

Fall beauty played a part at the Ranch for LM + D’s big day! Everything was flawlessly styled from the bridal party dressed in all black, to the burgundy tones and the blush water goblets that gave the perfect accent touch at the reception. Petal Envy created simple, yet awe-inspiring floral pieces – including that bouquet!  DJ Bill Calhoun always impresses us with his engaging charisma and beats on the dance floor. Overall, this 11-11 wedding was a wish come true for this couple!

Thank you to Marisa McBride Photography for her talent and artwork on these photos.

We couldn’t have asked for a better couple on our last wedding of the season! Their fall colors fit perfectly with their rustic theme; From farm tables, terrarium centerpieces and a mariachi band,  A + A’s day was definitely one for the books.

Red Trolley Studio excelled in capturing every part of this wedding, especially those sunset photos! We also thank each and every person who played a part to make their wedding dreams into a reality!

We love weddings that bring simple and effortless to a whole new level. The Ranch itself is already spectacular with the rawness of rustic elements, so giving it a touch of soft color schemes connects perfectly like what A + S did to their big day. Their ceremony was kept to just reciting their vows under our Pepper Tree, nothing but the natural beauty of our ceremony space, and the reception was equipped with white and greenery.

A’s bridesmaids fashioned different tones of pinks, paired with bouquets of flowing eucalyptus and white roses. With the beautiful bride, she made simple and white mesmerizing from start to end!

Thank you to Amy Lynn Photography for these amazing shots, and everyone who made their day special!
