If it’s Wednesday, then it’s time for me to introduce you to one of my Happy Places. I’m doing something a little different this time; instead of featuring a great place to eat or shop, I would like to spotlight one of our favorite venues in which to photograph an event, Saddlerock Ranch.

Whenever Larry or I get a phone call from a prospective bride and she tells us she’s getting married at Saddlerock, we get super excited. We’ve photographed this property many times over the years yet we never run out of photographic inspiration. I mean, this place has everything from bison and zebra to golden rolling hills and cool broken down tractors to photograph. Plus the light is lovely here pretty much all day long.

To me, this place is the quintessential Californian locale. It’s a little rugged, a bit quirky but still very elegant.
