"Romantic Garden Wedding Inspiration at Rancho De Amor | Redlands Outdoor Venue
A Romantic Spring Styled Shoot at Rancho De Amor
Featuring Mariela Campbell Photography, The Nature of Things, Rancho De Amor, and Beloved Couture Bridal
Earlier this month, we enjoyed collaborating with some of our favorite creatives for a dreamy, romantic garden-inspired bridal shoot at Rancho De Amor, one of our preferred wedding venues in Redlands, California. This sweet little shoot was all about simplicity, intentional beauty, and celebrating the magic of springtime in full bloom. We made the venue's wisteria our focal point.
With just one bride, a handful of delicate details, and the stunning natural backdrop that Rancho De Amor offers, we focused on telling a story that resonates with so many of our couples—elegance, ease, and heartfelt moments in nature.
Garden Romance with a Touch of Spring Magic
The look was fresh, timeless, and full of that soft spring light we all love. Picture a bride in a flowy, ethereal gown from Beloved Couture Bridal, a beautiful bridal boutique also based in Redlands, known for offering meaningful bridal experiences while supporting families affected by cancer. Standing among olive trees and wild blooms, our bride looked right at home in the peaceful surroundings of the ranch.
The focus wasn't on extravagance but on warmth, authenticity, and letting the venue and season speak for themselves.
A Preferred Creative Team
This shoot was a true collaboration between Mariela Campbell Photography and The Nature of Things, both proud preferred vendors at Rancho De Amor. Working together always feels seamless, creating a shared creative vision that elevates each event.
I styled and provided the tabletop rentals for this shoot. This intimate, curated tablescape reflects how we love approaching micro weddings and elopements with thoughtful, intentional beauty that never tries too hard. These pieces are part of our Mariela Campbell Photography Tabletop Collection, available for couples looking for something elevated yet relaxed.
Rancho De Amor
Rancho De Amor is one of those hidden gems that feels like a home away from home. Nestled in the heart of Redlands, California, this all-outdoor venue offers inclusive packages perfect for couples dreaming of an open-air celebration. Think of rolling hills, beautiful gardens, and wide-open skies. From the ceremony space under the trees to the cocktail hour areas and reception under the A Frame, this venue gives you a grounded and magical experience.
The ranch also prides itself on being a one-stop shop for intimate weddings, with a preferred vendor list (including us!) that makes planning feel personal, streamlined, and stress-free.
