Two words for this beautiful Gardener Ranch wedding…elegant & simple. Guests & family came from far & wide to witness the nuptials. Once again I took the opportunity to shoot some medium format color film prior to the ceremony. Film shots are labeled & the film used was Fuji 400H medium format. From the venue, “Enjoy the rustic charm of Gardener Ranch at its fullest with our Rustic Retreat Package. Enjoy three days and two nights with exclusive use of the property. Spend the morning by the pool with your friends and family. Afterwards entertain yourself outdoors with some of the activities offered at the Ranch or walk to Carmel Valley Village, home to several unique shops; with 17 wine tasting rooms, a handful of five-star restaurants, and more. Bask in the sunshine and let your worries slip away at Gardener Ranch with a weekend to celebrate with family and friends.” And that pretty much sums up the fabulous weekend for this happy couple!!!!
A beautiful bride photographed with todays top-of-the-line digital camera. I actually love this look I get. This photographic look did originate with traditional analog film photography. Below roughly the same shot with medium format film.
Fuji 400H Pro Film Medium Format. It may be tough to compare to the digital shot above, but on close inspection you can clearly see the difference in skin tones, resolution & grain (or texture in the shot). I think it looks pretty neat!!!

Another private moment prior to guest arrival was the perfect way to set the mood for the happy couple!
A group photo of all attendees at the end of the ceremony. Always a fun idea!
