Brandon and Hannah's Picturesque Garden Wedding || Quail Haven Farm, San Diego. CA

October 25, 2017 by Christine Tustin in 2017 Weddings, Fall Wedding, San Diego, wedding

Did I just witness a fairytale wedding?

Let me paint you this picture...It’s a warm, sunny Friday afternoon. I arrive at my destination, Quail Haven Farm. As I drive up this long windy driveway, I notice trees and flowers and turn to corner to see this wonderful barn with the friendliest horses popping their heads out to greet. Across from the barn is this adorable cottage with a team of sweet, helpful women getting ready for the days festivities and a beautiful bride-to-be relaxed as she gets her hair and makeup done. I walk around the venue and find myself in a maze of paths surrounded by flowers that lead to all kinds of little picturesque spots. I walk to the ceremony location and as I stand there in the grass I stop to hear the chirps of birds and the trickling of a pond. Butterflies fly past my face racing to the flowers...

I’m telling you, this day was dreamy. The landscape of the venue was just so perfect and it’s not even spring when the flowers really come out in full bloom. Yep, I’m pretty sure it was a fairytale. 


Hannah and Brandon spent their day surrounded by their friends, family, and finally each other when Hannah walked down the aisle with her dad.

 One of Hannah’s sisters made all the dessert including the cake. Is it weird that I’m still dreaming about those cookies?! 

There were three things you couldn’t do to Hannah and Brandon on this day no matter how hard you tried:
1. You couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces
2. You couldn’t pull them off the dance floor
3. You couldn’t get them to keep their hands off each other

All that for good reason. It was magical. It was an epic party. It was exactly how you should celebrate a marriage
