Tresa and Nate did an incredible job putting together their elegant Condor’s Nest Ranch Wedding.   It can be hard to find a rustic barn wedding venue in San Diego, but the Condor’s Nest Ranch has it all.  They have a beautiful little red barn, a menagerie of friendly animals, a vintage trailer, old work trucks and a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.  The property is like a photographers play ground.

One of the great things about the Condor’s Nest Ranch is that each bride and groom gets use of the grounds for the entire weekend of their wedding.  The house has several bedrooms and can accommodate an entire wedding party. The morning of Tresa and Nate’s wedding Poppytree Floral arrived with arm loads of beautiful yellow and white flowers to decorate the round and long wedding tables.  Tresa and her bridesmaids took over the house to get ready and have their make up done while Nate and the groomsmen hung out in the ranch house.  When it came time Tresa and Nate chose the little red barn for their first look. Nate stood at one end facing away while Tresa walked down the white barn stalls.

It was the perfect warm afternoon for an outdoor ceremony.  The Condor’s Nest Ranch has a beautiful old tree off the side of the house that Tresa and Nate stood under for their ceremony.  It provided them with shade and a gentle rustling of it’s leaves.  The guests grabbed white parasols as they sat down and blue bubbles at the bride and groom when the ceremony was over.

Their reception was a blast everyone ate delicious barbecue and there was even a corn roaster.  The children played round after round of bocce and everyone danced the night away.
