Oh Claire + Henry… if joy had a personality, it would look exactly like these two. Warm, kind, wonderfully affable—and honestly hilarious in the best, most effortless way. Their energy together absolutely gives golden retriever.

Their wedding day carried that same sunshine. Beautiful, thoughtful, relaxed, and full of joy with two truly lovely humans celebrating in a way that felt entirely, perfectly them. What a day. We loved the little details of their day and how they complimented the ranch so beautifully (those napkins!).

And their vendor team? A dream to work with:

As we head into Thanksgiving and start to wind down our 2025 season, we’re feeling all kinds of grateful out here on the ranch. This year brought us some of the kindest couples, families who welcomed us right into their circle, and a dream team of friendors who showed up with heart, hustle, and genuine teamwork every. single. weekend.

And of course- Mother Nature herself. She gave us golden hours that stopped us in our tracks, breezes that made for the best summer nights, and just enough wildflowers to make every celebration feel a little extra special.

To everyone who trusted us with their day: thank you. You’re the reason this place feels the way it does.

Here’s to a restful close to the season, a full heart, and all the beauty still to come. Happy Thanksgiving from the ranch. 🧡

Michaela + Caleb… where do we even start? These two made the rainiest day feel like warm sunshine. Truly. They showed up so ready to celebrate this new chapter together that a little rain didn’t stand a chance at dimming their joy.

And wouldn’t you know it- Mother Nature noticed. She paused the downpour just long enough for these gorgeous images and the sweetest garden ceremony.

Working with this couple was such a joy, and we hope they don’t become strangers. Come back to the ranch anytime- you’re part of the family now.

A huge thank-you to the incredible team of (ALL!) Preferred Vendors who brought magic to a very wet, very wonderful day. We say it time and time again, but who you pick for your Vendor team matters- especially when challenges arise 💗

Thinking back to Morgan + Anthony’s day earlier this fall with these photos- what an amazing day captured! The weather truly showed off for them, and those golden hour meadow shots in the mustard? Some of the dreamiest we’ve ever seen. We’re just so glad they had such a perfect day to share with their favorite people.

Their wedding had a quiet kind of magic with the warm fall light, the relaxed vibe, the way everyone seemed to settle right into the moment with them. It was simple, heartfelt, and beautifully done!

From the champagne tower to the sweetest little burros trotting through the celebration, every detail felt intentional and full of love.

We were grateful to be part of it all, alongside this lovely team:

Our meadow is gorgeous in just about every season, but she absolutely sings in the fall. Mustard and wild grasses stretch as far as the eye can see, glowing under that long golden-hour light we’re known for. And that coastal ridge? She shows off every single time.

Here’s a little collection of our favorite meadow moments from this fall- soft, sweeping, and downright dreamy.

Now booking for 2027 and beyond. If this view is calling your name, come on out. We’d love to show you around.

Say it with us and manifest it together: “Rain, rain, stay away! We’ve gotta have clear golden skies for Michaela + Caleb’s day!” If the universe is taking special requests, we’re putting in an order for clear skies, soft sunshine, and that perfect little glow that makes the ranch feel like it’s straight out of a storybook.

But the part we love most? With all the uncertainty swirling around the forecast, Michaela + Caleb have the absolute best outlook. They’re calm, grounded, and simply happy to be here. They know their day will be amazing no matter what—because at the end of it all, they’ll be together. That kind of energy could brighten up even the cloudiest morning.

Their weekend has been planned with so much intention and heart, and we cannot wait to welcome their favorite people and watch this celebration unfold exactly the way it’s meant to.

And let’s talk about this dream team making the magic happen:

It was a lovely, down-home celebration for Whitney + Payton under the last summer skies on the ranch! Every detail was filled with love and intention—from the thoughtful touches by the bride to the helping hands of their families and the talented vendor team who brought it all to life.

We couldn’t get enough of the color story on this day—bright, joyful hues across the florals, the bridesmaids, and even the guests made it such a radiant, happy celebration for this sweet couple. What a beautiful day to remember!

Happy Anniversary to Jessica + Matt!

This sweet and special couple made such an impression on us that we had to share two of our favorite shots from their beautiful wedding day.

The first photo perfectly captures their dynamic — Jessica brings vivacious warmth and light wherever she goes, while Matt is her steady, grounding calm. Together, they radiate such beautiful balance — and spending time in their energy was an absolute joy.

As they celebrate one year of marriage, we wish them continued balance, laughter, and partnership as they move through life together. That harmony is a true strength.

And the second photo? Simply stunning. No other words needed.

We were so lucky to work with this incredible team to bring their day to life:

What a joy this past weekend was! One of the best parts of what we do is getting to work with such wonderful people- and we’ve been so lucky that every couple who’s chosen the ranch has been just that. Ashley + Nik are no exception. These two are kind, brilliant, and beautiful inside and out, surrounded by the loveliest family and friends.

They also got one of those perfect ranch weather days; plenty of sunshine, a gentle breeze, and a golden hour that was, well, truly golden. Then right on cue, a little marine layer rolled in like a back-up dancer, and their meadow portraits turned out absolutely dreamy.

We were also so fortunate to work alongside an incredible team that made their day flawless. A well selected vendor team makes the dream:

What a lovely fall day for Victoria + Nick! We just adored this sweet couple, who envisioned and created a day that was intimate, intentional, and completely their own. From their wedding sneakers (both Vans — his old school classics and hers custom with bridal bling) to the heartfelt personal touches sprinkled throughout, everything about this celebration felt authentically them. These two truly seem like two halves of one whole.

We loved getting to know you both and officially welcoming you into the Tar Creek Ranch family.

And we couldn’t have done it without this incredible team of friendors:
