Leo Carrillo Ranch Wedding with David & Alessandra

Dress detail during getting ready from Leo Carrillo Ranch Wedding ceremony in Carlsbad

It was a memorable day when David and Alessandra tied the knots at their Leo Carrillo Ranch wedding. And, as always, I was very thankful for being a part of their day.

I arrived early at the Staybridge Suites, in Carlsbad, for some of the girls getting ready for photos. They were having a great time chatting about random things and pouring champagne. As they realized they were almost out of time, Alessandra’s maid of honor finished her makeup, and we all headed to Leo Carrillo Ranch.

At the bridal suite, Alessandra and her bridesmaids were back to the task of getting ready. They finally finished ironing the dresses and were all set for this beautiful Leo Carrillo Ranch wedding that was about to happen.

It was a gorgeous ceremony under the tree in the courtyard. Alessandra and David said their vows and exchanged rings in the presence of their closest friends and family. Most of all, They were visibly happy to walk out of the aisle as a married couple.

After some traditional formal portraits of the family and bridal party, we did a relaxed stroll around the property for some couples’ portraits. At every Leo Carrillo wedding, this is always my favorite part. We created some beautiful memories as we reached all the spots we had previously planned to and felt very successful. We produced some great wedding portraits!

It was time to take the couple back to their guests. After the grand entrance, they went straight to their first dance as a married couple. It was another intimate moment that I was lucky to document.

The evening proceeded to be a fun affair. The bride and groom finished their tasks at this Leo Carrillo Ranch wedding. It was time to party and interact with their guests. A mix of Spanish and English music helped the guests stay on the dance floor most of the time.

It was another great Leo Carrillo Ranch wedding, and I would like to thank the couple for having me on such a special day of their lives.
