Rustic Paso Robles Wedding - Hartley Farms Wedding Photographer
A Romantic Celebration at Hartley Farms – Paso Robles Wedding Photographer
There’s something uniquely magical about photographing weddings at Hartley Farms, tucked into the rolling hills of San Miguel, just north of Paso Robles. With its majestic oak trees, sun-drenched ceremony sites, and peaceful vineyard vibes, Hartley Farms feels like a hidden gem on the Central Coast of California...and it never disappoints.
This particular wedding was filled with tender moments, heartfelt vows, and a celebration that captured the essence of love, family, and rustic elegance. As a Paso Robles wedding photographer, documenting love stories at venues like Hartley Farms is one of the true joys of my work.
Capturing the Magic of a Hartley Farms Wedding
From the moment I arrived, I knew this was going to be a special day. The getting-ready cottage was alive with laughter and excitement as the wedding party prepared for the big moment. With warm light pouring through the windows and personal details arranged thoughtfully throughout the space, it was the perfect setting to begin telling the story of the day.
Outdoors, the iconic oak tree ceremony site was dressed in florals and greenery, standing proud and regal under the golden California sky. It’s hard to describe just how breathtaking this ceremony spot is in person—photographs can only capture part of its magic. But as a Hartley Farms wedding photographer, I always look forward to the way this space transforms with each unique wedding.
Why Couples Choose Hartley Farms for Their Wedding
Located just outside of Paso Robles, Hartley Farms offers everything couples dream of in a San Luis Obispo County wedding venue:
A giant oak tree that creates an unforgettable ceremony setting
A charming, light-filled cottage for getting ready
A peaceful, tree-lined pathway that makes bride-and-groom portraits feel straight out of a fairytale
A rustic yet refined reception space, complete with string lights, open air, and room for dancing the night away
Every wedding at this venue feels deeply personal and beautifully curated—and the natural landscape does so much of the heavy lifting when it comes to creating stunning backdrops for timeless wedding photography.
Golden Hour, Candid Joy & Timeless Memories
As the sun dipped behind the hills, I stole the couple away for a few quiet moments during golden hour—my favorite time of the day at Hartley Farms. The soft light, filtered through the trees, wrapped them in warmth and romance, making for some of the most intimate and authentic portraits of the day.
Later, during the reception, the joyful energy was contagious. Laughter echoed under the twinkle lights, and the dance floor was packed all night. As a wedding photographer in San Luis Obispo County, my goal is always to document these real, fleeting moments—where the personality of each couple and the spirit of their day truly shine.
