Radonich Ranch Wedding Photography Vintage Venues

I saw the smiles in her eyes and felt his love (for her) every time they shared a kiss!! They became lost in the moment and I became lost in them. Lauren and Harris couldn’t be any cuter even if they tried. Every image oozes with adorableness and I’m so honored to be apart of such a beautiful celebration!! In May, Gavin and I traveled up north to Los Gatos, CA to capture their destination wedding at the beautiful Radonich Ranch. We love doing destination wedding photography because it not only allows us to explore the hidden spots of another city but it another excuse for us to combine work with play. =D So read on to learn about our day of Radonich Ranch wedding photography at Vintage Venues!

A long time ago, at a magical place called Margaritaville, an LA sorority girl and a Santa Barbara beach boy fell in love!! No really, it happened like that! They met at the Jimmy Buffet concert in Irvine CA in 2002, during sophomore year of college. It was definitely love at first sight, and even their young wild ways and the distance between USC and UC Santa Barabra couldnt keep them apart! And over the last 10 years, Lauren and Harris developed a love for adventure, and an even deeper love for each other. I’m so happy they found each other because these two are definitely meant to be. They’re the kind of couple that you can’t help but smile (and laugh with), no matter what mood you’re in!!

Wedding Preparation at Hotel Los Gatos

Hotel Los Gatos is 12 miles away from Radonich Ranch, so not only is it a beautiful location for our wedding preparation but it’s also close to the wedding venue.

When I saw her lace wedding dress, I knew it was going to look gorgeous on her!!

Her Jimmy Choo shoes were elegant (as is), but the shoe clips (which her mother wore on her wedding day) added so much more…

I love it when couples choose to do a first look!!

What’s a Los Gatos’ wedding if there were no “cat” in the picture. =)

Radonich Ranch Wedding Ceremony

For the ceremony, they had Harris’ nephew officiate and he did an amazing job (as a first timer and as a 19 year old). I was very impressed!

Harris was so eager to marry Lauren that he said “i do” before the officiant even finishes the sentence. It was sooooo cute. Watch the video and you’ll know what I mean.
