Green Gables Wedding Estate

Highlights of Green Gables Wedding Estate

Tucked away in the hills of San Marcos, this English garden inspired wedding venue is a treasure trove of interesting backdrops and romantic settings. This turn-of-the-century historic landmark estate is set in total seclusion, nestled among a towering forest that dates back well over 100 years.

A day at Green Gables typically begins in the bridal suite inside of the 1890’s schoolhouse. Here, the bride can apply her finishing touches, put on her gown, and relax for a moment before walking down the aisle. Enjoy this gallery of recent photos captured by our studio at Green Gables Wedding Estate.

If you continue to walk around the schoolhouse you will find a large shaded lawn that features a rope swing and enough room to photograph even the largest wedding party.

One of the more iconic locations at Green Gables is the 1951 Ford Truck. This vintage piece of Americana is a perfect backdrop for bridal parties and fun photos of the newlyweds.

Undercover Receptions | Tented Wedding Venues

By, November 05, 2017

Rain or shine, tents for wedding receptions have many benefits. Tents are a way of bringing your reception outdoors, while providing the comforts of an indoor space. Along with being surprisingly spacious, tents can be dressed up with stylish lighting and décor. If it does rain, sides can be easily attached, to keep everyone dry and partying well into the night.

Here in San Diego, there are a wide variety of tented options, with different aesthetics for every preference. Check out these photos from local venues that offer tented spaces:

Falling in Love All Over Again

By, March 18, 2016

In this Photo of The Week, taken at Green Gables Wedding Estate, the look on our groom Gavin’s face says it all. When he saw his bride Gheraldine for the first time that day, as she came down the aisle, he was completely captivated. It was like love at first sight.. all over again.

The image below is a prime example of the benefit of having multiple photographers. The first and second photographers work together in synchronicity, sometimes almost telepathically. In this instance, while all eyes were on the breathtaking bride, we were also able to capture her groom’s reaction simultaneously. It was a result of “true” teamwork :)

Groom sees bride for first time at Green Gables Wedding Estate and gets emotional
