Who doesn’t love a quick commute to work? For us, showing up to photograph a wedding at Hacienda de las Flores in Moraga couldn’t be any easier. The venue is a short drive from where we’re based and it’s such a beautiful setting for a Bay Area wedding and one of our favorite Bay Area wedding venues
Hacienda de las Flores is a historic Spanish style estate that is owned by the town of Moraga with weddings managed by Wedgewood. We’ve worked at several Wedgewood wedding properties before and they always do a great job. Their venue packages include just about everything you need to throw a beautiful and fun wedding day including coordination, catering, DJ and MC service, among others.
As a wedding photographer, Hacienda de las Flores has so much potential for beautiful wedding photos. The grounds feature an open air patio with a stone fountain, a large lawn with tall cedar, pine, and palm trees, and a beautiful enclosed pavilion space surrounded by a neoclassical colonnade. Wedding ceremonies can take place on the open air patio, nearby lawn, or in the pavilion. We love when wedding venues are large enough to have plenty of variety yet small enough to make day of logistics easy.

Hacienda de Las Flores Wedding Photos
We originally booked with these two for their wedding before covid hit and we were really excited to finally photograph a wedding at Hacienda de las Flores. While it wasn’t the wedding they initially planned for, it was still a beautiful, intimate day with their closest friends and family and it was so great that they were able to still get married at their original venue. Their ceremony took place on the main lawn in front of the mansion followed by a reception on the patio. We took couple portraits and wedding party photos throughout the property.
