Venue Guide

San Ysidro Ranch Wedding Photographer

Montecito, California

Stone cottages under the Montecito mountains. A rose garden built for vows. The lavender field at golden hour.

When Sofia and Marc married at San Ysidro Ranch, the celebration ran three days: a welcome party under the brick pergola, a ceremony on a petal-covered aisle in the rose garden, and one long table on the lawn. The Ranch rewards a photographer who moves quietly. The gardens, the clawfoot tubs in the cottages, the olive allee and the lavender field each get their moment in your gallery, and the mountain light behind the ceremony site is unlike anywhere else in California.

Questions Couples Ask

The rose garden ceremony site with the mountains behind it, the lavender field in the last hour of light, the olive allee, and the cottages themselves. The clawfoot tub photograph from Sofia's cottage became one of the most loved frames in her gallery.
