Capturing the Bride and Groom at Carmel Valley Ranch

This celebration began with the bride’s preparations off-site — elegant, quiet moments of anticipation captured through details like the dress hung against soft light, the carefully placed shoes, and intimate getting-ready portraits. These images, combined with creative close-ups of the rings and a striking groom’s portrait before the ceremony, built the foundation of the day’s narrative.
