Lauren and Nick – Orcutt Ranch Horticulture Center Wedding

Lauren and Nick had a fall wedding last November at the Orcutt Ranch Horticulture Center. This park in Los Angeles has 24 acres of gardens, a citrus orchard, and wandering garden paths. There are gorgeous heritage oak trees, which made for a stunning backdrop for the bride and groom portraits.

The Orcutt Ranch Horticulture Center is the perfect spot for a couple who want a whimsical garden wedding, with plenty of greenery, and room for guests. On the grounds sits a Spanish inspired historic building, with colorful glazed tile panels that depict scenes of American Indian, Mexican, and Spanish cultures. The Spanish tile roof adds an extra flair the already beautiful space.

Instead of a traditional wedding, Lauren and Nick opted for a simple affair, with just a reception to celebrate. Lauren wore a beautiful satin and lace gown, with pearl button details down the back. The top had lace long sleeves, and a collar. It was elegant and classic, but worked perfect for the garden setting. Nick wore a classic gray suit with a skinny black tie. The couple’s flowers were a nod to the botanical setting, with lots of greenery and soft ivories. My favorite part was Laurens emerald ring! Her ring is so stunning, and very unique.

Their reception took place right in the garden, by the white gazebo. Café lights lit up the dance floor and tables as the evening became late, and guests danced the night away (and so did Lauren and Nick!) Thank you Lauren and Nick, for letting me photograph your beautiful wedding day!
