Rancho Zaragoza is a warm and welcoming family farm, and we were so happy to visit as San Francisco wedding photographers. This small ranch sits along the country roads of Brentwood in East Contra Costa County. Brentwood is famous for its farms, orchards, and sunny harvest seasons. Rows of fruit trees, open skies, and wide fields make it feel peaceful and far from busy city life.

What makes Rancho Zaragoza special is the family behind it. The Hernandez family founded the ranch and built it through years of hard work together. Today it is a boutique U-pick farm known for peaches, apricots, nectarines, figs, citrus, and more. Chickens, goats, cows, and horses wander the property, which adds so much charm. Visitors often say it feels like coming home, and that same warm hospitality carries over to special events.

Couples who choose a ranch like this want something relaxed, natural, and personal. The orchard rows and rustic touches create a beautiful setting that needs very little decor. Golden afternoon light over the trees is a dream for portraits. We love how a family farm lets the celebration feel heartfelt, with plenty of room for guests to gather, eat, and dance under the open sky.

Ten Years of Friendship and Love

Alejandro and Selena met while working together at Ace Hardware more than ten years ago. What started as coworkers turned into a love story built on everyday moments. They enjoy each other’s company whether they are grocery shopping, grabbing lunch, or watching a movie and talking about their day. They love making new memories together through travel, music, comedy clubs, and soaking in sunsets and city views.

Their wedding vision was nature inspired, with tones of green, beige, and tan paired with touches of gold. Wood and rustic elements tied everything to the ranch setting. Selena chose the greenery and Alex chose the gold, which made the look a true blend of both of them. As a wedding photographer team, we love when the details tell the couple’s story this clearly.

We love weddings that feel personal, and a family farm is about as personal as it gets. There is no rush and no stiff formality, just people who love each other gathered in a beautiful place. Our team pays close attention to the natural light at a ranch, because it changes so much from midday to sunset. We plan portrait time when the sun is soft and warm, so skin tones glow and the trees look rich and green. We also look for little details that make the setting unique, like wooden crates, fruit trees, and open pasture. These touches help tell the story of where the celebration took place. Every wedding photographer on our team knows how to blend those details with real moments between the couple and their guests. The result is a gallery that feels warm, honest, and full of life.
