Outdoor Wedding at Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens

In the heart of Fallbrook, Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens wedding venue is the perfect stage for a day straight out of a fairytale. Surrounded by lush greenery, waterfalls, and winding pathways, it’s one of those Southern California wedding venues that feels like its own little world. And for Julia and Ryan, it was pure magic from start to finish.

Julia and I bonded over our love for houseplants. When she told me about her wedding venue in San Diego, I knew it was the perfect location for her.

Julia and the girls wore matching pajamas for getting ready photos. Then she changed into her timeless mermaid-styled gown to surprise her bridesmaids. Her bouquet was filled with soft blush florals and delicate greenery that perfectly complemented the romantic garden setting.

Non-Traditional First Look with Bridesmaids and Father

Julia and Ryan did not have a first look. One of the sweetest moments of the day came during her first look with her bridemaids and her dad. It was a quiet, emotional exchange that had everyone (yes, even us behind the camera) misty-eyed.
