Theresa + Jayson | Wedding at Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch in Carmel By-The-Sea, California

A Unique Blend Of Rustic Charm, Natural Beauty, Historic Appeal, And Stunning Ocean Views

Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch is one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Carmel-by-the-Sea. People specifically get so excited about the sheep on property that often can be seen in the backdrop of their ceremony! Originally a historic dairy farm, the ranch has been beautifully restored to offer modern amenities while retaining its classic charm. The venue boasts stunning ocean views, rolling hills, and serene gardens. Whether you're envisioning a cozy barn ceremony or tying the knot with the sound of waves in the background, Mission Ranch has everything you need for a truly unforgettable day.

For weddings, Mission Ranch provides a variety of event spaces, both indoor and outdoor. The barn, with its high wooden ceilings and warm, rustic feel, is ideal for intimate ceremonies or receptions. For those who prefer to celebrate outdoors, the venue offers expansive lawns that overlook the ocean, providing a breathtaking natural backdrop for vows. The lush gardens and tranquil atmosphere give couples plenty of opportunities for stunning photos, making it a photographer’s dream. As a photographer, I can’t get enough of this incredible property.

The venue's location is just a short distance from Carmel’s beautiful beaches and quaint town, making it easy for guests to explore the area and enjoy all that Carmel-By-The-Sea has to offer. The light, the landscape, and the surrounding area makes it easy to get breathtaking shots all day long. From sunrise to sunset, you’ll have so many opportunities to create lasting memories with gorgeous photos to match!

The Cutest Meet Cute

Theresa and Jayson's meeting could only be described as fate. Jayson was in his hometown and Theresa had just flown into San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) returning from a trip. They were both on dating apps. As she was waiting for her bags at baggage claim, she opened her app and thought she'd just kill time because what were the chances she'd actually meet someone who didn't even live in her town? Well...

They did.

And they fell madly in love.

And let me tell you these two are 100% soulmates. I've gone back and forth on whether or not I believe in soulmates but seeing these two together, it made me a believer.

They each have a daughter, who happen to be the same age. They love their family, friends, work, dancing, laughing, spreading joy, and most importantly, showing love to those around them.

I'm so late at getting this wedding on the blog 🙈 and they now have a beautiful baby boy! I'll hopefully get those up here soon but at the rate I'm going you might see those in 2027 so let's manifest this together 🧘‍♀️
