Seven Sycamores Ranch Shoot

Seven Sycamores Ranch Shoot.

While most photographers get inspired by nature, fabric or florals, the inspiration behind this styled shoot in Ivenhoe, Ca., came entirely from the location – Historic Seven Sycamores Ranch. The property was purchased by the owner's parents in 1927 before being established in 1928, which is when seven sycamore trees - the venue’s namesake - were planted.

The invitation suite features the venue’s design, which highlights the family business – citrus farming. It’s complete with royal blue paper, blue lettering and a sketch of Hummingbird Cottage, the family home.

The delicate bouquet includes black and white anemones, roses and greenery. It’s tied with light blue ribbons for a subtle touch of color.

The bride looks confident in a gown with a plunging sheer neckline and flowing A-line skirt.

Her grand bouquet, full of white and blush blooms, pairs elegantly with her look.

The back detail of her gown can be seen thanks to her stylish low updo.

The groom dons a navy blue suit complete with a striped tie and brown shoes.

Standing on the property’s gravel drive framed by lush trees, this couple only has eyes for one another.

Under the shade, a long wooden table is paired with benches for a post-ceremony celebration. The natural table is dressed with a light blue runner anchored by several small centerpieces.

Each place setting features a unique pairing of light blue and gold plates, along with a gold napkin, gold flatware and a sprig of leafy greens.

The wedding bundt cake is a minimalist treat with its light dusting of powdered sugar and floral embellishments.

For one final shot, the bride and groom walk hand-in-hand along the venue’s infamous drive as they start their journey as husband and wife.

A venue’s unique history can add so much flavor and inspiration to your big day. If you’re looking for ideas and ways to make a standout celebration, look no further than your venue. For its walls, hills and flowers hold many secrets and stories just waiting to be told.
