We're always on the hunt for off the beaten path wedding venues like Rapheka Ranch. The location of our next inspirational shoot. It is located in Murrieta, California. A sweet and lovely rustic wedding venue surrounded by nature.

Inspired by the natural elements around the ranch and Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, a day was designed using a warm color palette and modern elements to create a romantic day that Elizabeth Bennet would adore. Alex from Alexandria Michelle Photography captured the day. You can view all the images in the full gallery here.

Please scroll down to see all the details, including the artfully arranged furniture from vintage rental company, New and Nostalgic Co. They created the perfect lounge area for an intimate celebration that you will not want to miss.
