Carpinteria Ranch Wedding from Marianne Wilson Photography

No matter what way you look at it, this California ranch wedding was just destined to be darling. When you take a couple who isn’t afraid to make a wedding day their own, throw in some tailgating games, a milk and cookies bar, and a few paper pinwheels for good measure, the result is what I like to call “unpretentious pretty.” Marianne Wilson Photography captured all the sweet and silly moments that made this wedding so special. And you, my dears, can see it all with a trip to the full gallery right here.



From Marianne Wilson Photography… This wedding was truly a wedding that was fun and about a celebration. Christine and Brandon wanted to make their wedding as relaxed and ‘them’ as possible. They had a close friend officiate, Instead of any unity candle or wine ceremony they did a unity “cupcake” ceremony. Where they shared a cupcake. They enjoyed tailgating games and shared their love for cupcakes, cookies and milk with a milk and cookies bar. Their whimsical wedding was set at the beautiful Wiggy ranch which was a perfect natural setting that they adorned with pin wheels and paper decoration.
