California Ranch Wedding by Carlie Statsky Photography

December 21st. 2010 by A. Blaire | Filed Under | 24 comments

Take a nice deep breath in, because this California ranch wedding is a wonderful breath of fresh air. The images from Carlie Statsky Photography are delightfully refreshing and bring to life the relaxing vibe the adorable couple obviously wanted to be an important part of their day. A rustic but elegant occasion on a ranch overlooking Carmel Valley, you could almost feel the warm breeze on your face if you closed your eyes, but who would want to do that? It would be a crime to miss all the beautiful images in the gallery.

From the talented Carlie Statsky…Jenny and Jef are one of those truly radiant couples, and then they chose a venue as stunning as Holman Ranch in Carmel, so there was a whole lot of beauty for me to capture that day. Jenny and Jef are Carmel locals and they fell in love with this property the moment they saw it. Holman Ranch creates this amazing atmosphere that’s intimate yet expansive and rustic yet elegant, and that is exactly the feeling that Jenny and Jef wanted to create for their guests that day. You really do feel like you’re a world away up on that warm hill overlooking the Carmel Valley. The entire day felt so relaxed, as I arrived to find Jenny wandering the gardens to find fresh flowers for her hair while the guys were out for a morning surf. The ceremony felt equally casual and personalized as they had their dear friend as their officiant, a song performed by another friend, their rings passed from guest to guest so that each person could bless them in their own way, and vows that they each wrote themselves. After cocktail hour guests were served incredible farm fresh food by Paradise Catering and seated at family style tables. I love that dessert was a variety of local pies from Gizdich Ranch instead of a formal cake. The party then moved out to the barn area for dancing, hanging out by the fire pits, playing horse shoes and joining in on the fun of Jenny’s homemade photo booth. That night as I was zoomed down a wooded path on the back of a golf cart to leave Holman Ranch, I couldn’t help feeling elated and inspired by the enchantment of the whole day.

    I'm getting married at Holman Ranch in June - are the people you hired for hair and makeup local? Jenny, what was your favorite thing about your wedding? It looks like it was a beautiful and fun event.
