Mission Ranch Wedding Photography

Natasha and Justin met at the school they both work at. Their first conversation was a debate about pancakes versus waffles and one of their coworkers ended up playing cupid by giving Justin Natasha’s phone number. The rest is history. Their proposal is one of the most precious stories. It took place in their kitchen at home with their two cute pets Darcy and Dean. Justin got on his knee and said he could not wait another day without marrying her! Such an intimate and special moment for these two lovebirds.

Mission Ranch Wedding Venue

As a Carmel wedding photographer, I adored this dreamy Mission Ranch wedding venue. The scene was set so perfectly for Justin and Natasha’s big day. They started with their first look moment and let me tell you, it was a tear jerker. You could feel the magic when Justin turned around to see Natasha for the first time. And the ceremony was just as magical. Their family and friends gathered to see them exchange their vows and share their first kiss. Justin and Natasha walked down that aisle as the cutest newly weds and finished the evening celebrating with all their closest friends and family at the funnest reception.

What do you love most about your partner?

Justin has the biggest heart and takes an empathetic approach to the world. He will stop to help others, always has a kind word to say, and will do just about anything for animals. Natasha has a love that shines through like a bright star in the night sky that everyone can see.

I’m curious, what type of ring do you have? Give use all the pretty details!

The ring is a platinum ring with a round diamond that we picked out together in Santa Cruz. It is the perfect ring! It has a wedding band that fits snugly along the solitaire and both have tiny pave diamonds along the bands.
