Venue Spotlight | Grand Tradition

By, January 22, 2016

For those seeking a destination-style wedding just outside of San Diego, one of our favorite spots is the all-inclusive Grand Tradition. We have photographed many weddings at Grand Tradition over the years, and have likely covered every corner :) Located in Fallbrook, CA, the property’s 30 acres of rolling green hills and tropical gardens has something for everyone, including two main venue options onsite. Here are examples of each:

Beverly Mansion

If your style is a bit more traditional and classical, our suggestion is the Beverly Mansion, a classic Victorian estate that overlooks the property’s idyllic heart-shaped lake. Ceremonies at the Beverly Mansion are held outdoors by the gazebo, where couples have the option of being brought out by horse and carriage. It definitely has a storybook feel!

After exchanging vows, guests can dance the night away under massive Swarovski crystal chandeliers. And to end the evening, nothing beats a fun and impressive sparkler grand exit, which is sure to leave your guests in awe :)

Arbor Terrace

For those seeking a more laid-back, paradise vibe to their day, we recommend the property’s Arbor Terrace and Pavilion. Inspired by the aesthetics of Hana, Hawaii, the Terrace is set against a gorgeous waterfall backdrop, and is adorned with paths covered in beautiful flowers. The Pavilion, where receptions are held, offers features such as the Hospitality Fountain, which is great for photos. There is also a cozy outdoor fireplace, which is a nice comfortable spot to enjoy a relaxing moment with guests.

USD Campus Engagement Photo Shoot

The Campus at the University of San Diego is classic and timeless, with sweeping panoramic views. Recently, USD was named as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States. The 16th-century Spanish Renaissance style buildings feel stately without being imposing, and there are lush green areas throughout the grounds. Other notable features include brick accents, oversized stairwells, and tranquil gardens. Being on the USD campus makes you feel like you’re somewhere important, which makes it a great engagement photo shoot location. Even if you don’t have emotional ties to the University as a student or alum, you’ll be impressed by the picturesque backdrops.

Below are examples of recent engagement photos we captured on the USD campus. To set up an engagement shoot with us, please feel free to contact us.
