Ellen and Troy’s Gardener Ranch wedding photography was the dreamiest highlight reel of this beautiful day! It was full of sentimental family heirlooms from mom’s veil to the rings, and a locket that will be on Grandad’s bouquet. I loved photographing all around the property and seeing Ellen and Troy with their friends and family. Read on for this sweet day!

I loved the shades of blue in Ellen and Troy’s Gardener Ranch wedding photography! From the bridesmaids to Grandad’s suit jacket, blue is clearly a popular color and it POPS! It’s simultaneously really classic and whimsical all at once. Shades of blue are always a solid color palette choice for Gardener Ranch wedding photography and definitely beach weddings too!

Gardener Ranch Wedding

Ellen’s brother did a reading for their ceremony which was a really sweet touch in the day. I loved how their friends and family came together- nothing but bright smiles all around! Especially this sweet moment with Ellen and her grandad. These are my absolute favorite to witness and capture. Makes my heart melt every time!

It meant the world to me knowing Ellen and Troy had complete trust in me as their Carmel Valley photographer to capture their Gardener Ranch wedding. That even if it rains, it rains, and that they were open to having some fun rainy shots if that ended up being what happens. Of course, it didn’t actually rain. But it’s not often couples are so open to a bit of unexpected weather! Rain or shine, this special day was stunning!
