Because Park Winters is located on a farm, it has so much space which means endless options for different places to have your ceremony and reception. You can have a whimsical ceremony nestled in the lush gardens or a more elegant and simple ceremony in front of the historic inn. They have a stunning indoor barn reception space that is perfect for those wanting a more rustic feel to their big day, or wants to move the party inside for the dance floor. There is truly something for everyone and every vision!

5. STUNNING Locations for Your Wedding Photos

One of the most important things you should be considering when picking a venue is if there are stunning locations for your wedding photos. I love it when venues have a variety of stunning spots for photos and this venue definitely does. You can take photos in the evergreen garden, in front or inside the historic inn, and in private areas nestled in the trees. This venue is so picturesque and does not disappoint for the wedding photos!

Kind Words From Lauren and Jarred

“Megan was our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and there are not enough words to express what a beautiful job she did. Jarrad and I have been friends with Meg for years, and have always been in love with her work, so it was a no-brainer we had to have her photograph our big day. She has this amazing ability to capture all the special moments between people and make you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. Her style is so versatile and she was always finding ways to make sure we were ENJOYING ourselves. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Megan and we truly mean that. We had the perfect wedding, in the most perfect space, and Meg captured all the magic on that day and we just love love LOVE her!!”

Meet Your San Francisco Wedding Photographer

Hi there, I’m Meg, your San Francisco Wedding Photographer!

I’ve always wanted to be a photographer and to be able to call this my full-time job is an absolute dream come true. Creating captivating, authentic images just sets my soul on fire and I have so much gratitude for this art. I love capturing moments. I’m the girl who takes my film camera everywhere I go because I just want to look back and remember what I was feeling at that moment. I love being able to look at a photo and travel back in time.

Being a photographer has allowed me to find the moments of beauty in everyday life and there is nothing I love more than allowing people to see themselves as a piece of art.
