Patrick Ranch Wedding Photos - Jeffrey&Natalie
We are so excited to share with you Jeffrey&Natalie's beautiful Spring Patrick Ranch wedding photos.
Natalie got ready with her girls at one of our favorite locations in downtown Chico, Hotel Diamond. The Diamond has so many beautiful upstairs rooms which lots of natural reflectors and window light. When we arrived Natalie was finishing getting ready and had spent the morning with her mom, grandmother and amazing bridesmaids.
Before photos begin, the morning can feel a little hectic if everything isn’t planned accordingly. Natalie had an amazing team of vendors along with her bridesmaids that did an amazing job staying on schedule while soaking in the morning together. When we got to the hotel room, all the girls were relaxing and enjoying champagne together before Natalie got into her dress.
From the hotel, we headed to a private ranch in Durham for Jeffrey&Natalie’s first look and portraits. We had great even lighting all throughout their photos. Stephen and I have always said how much we love Spring weddings because of the weather. That was 100% true for Jeffrey&Natalie's day, there was a light breeze that blew Natalie’s beautiful wedding veil just enough to give it motion for photos. They had perfect 70-80 degree weather all throughout the day.
After portraits, we headed to the St. James Catholic church in Durham for Jeffrey&Natalie’s wedding ceremony. The church was filled with long time friends and family. It was so clear how much Jeffrey&Natalie are loved by many. Between all their adorable nieces and nephews who played a role into their wedding to the long time friends, these two are loyal people. All the planning, dreaming and preparation. It all led to this moment. The moment where they were surrounded by their community to step into something new together. A lifelong commitment to saying yes to marriage, to one another, to growth and to continuing to surround themselves with this community that's been for them all along.
After a beautiful indoor ceremony, we headed to Patrick Ranch for the rest of our evening. We took Jeffrey&Natalie out in front of the stunning property for sunset photos, the same exact location that we did their engagement photos almost a year prior. Stephen and I love sunset photos and the couples that opt to do them really enjoy them as well. It gives our couples a little break from the hustle and bustle of the day, to soak in a few moments together before heading back into the party. This short break oftentimes allows our TréCreative couples to also reflect on the day before they are too far into the evening.
Jeffrey&Natalie, congratulations! We have no doubt that great things are always in store for you two. It has been the utmost honor walking with you through this wedding process. You are both so kind, genuine not just to us but everyone around you. You both make other people feel valued and seen which is no wonder why you have so many amazing people supporting you guys. Marriage is about being on the same team and we think you guys do this so well!
Enjoy some of our favorite from your amazing Spring wedding.

2021 Update:
It’s been a handful of years since this blog post went live and it’s been one of our most popular blogs for couples planning their upcoming wedding for pretty almond orchard wedding details and inspiration!
If you found this helpful, you may be interested in hearing about another popular resource we’ve created since this post to help you with another tricky part of wedding planning… the finances!
We have an online challenge that teaches you how we’ve created an additional revenue stream outside of our wedding business (that’s totally passive) and how now many of our couples are now using this same method to fund their weddings and beyond.
The Rainmaker Challenge was originally created when we were pregnant with our son Kaizen to help moms achieve passive income so they could make money during nap time. Since then, it’s grown beyond just moms and now we’re having many couples go through the challenge and learn our Rainmaker method for themselves…
