Tuscan Rose Ranch has become one of my favorite venues in Southern California. Tucked into the hills of Santa Paula, it’s a quiet, greenery-filled escape with some of the best natural light I’ve seen. The green tones throughout the property are something I always notice. (Photographers, if you know you know). It’s that perfect shade that edits beautifully every time.
We started the day with soft sunlight filtering through the trees. Because the venue is surrounded by mountains, the sun dips early, which gave us an early golden hour for portraits and diffused light during reception.
Tristini and Bryce chose to keep everything outdoors, which I always love. Their reception took place under twinkle lights with a mix of round and rectangular tables scattered across the lawn. Guests gathered in the open air as the sky shifted into dusk, and everything felt natural and unforced.
Tuscan Rose Ranch has a calm, effortless feel that comes through in the photos. The way the light moves across the property, the softness of the trees, the tones of the greenery, it all works together. This wedding was a perfect example of how much the setting can enhance the entire experience.
