Beltane Ranch Wedding – An Intimate Micro Wedding with 4 Guests in Sonoma County, CA
First of all, we’re so grateful to be an approved Beltane Ranch wedding videographer and even more grateful that we got to document a heartfelt love story that was separated by the
For some, absence makes the heart grow fonder. This was certainly the case for bride and groom, Olga and Brett, who celebrated their intimate Beltane Ranch Wedding with 4 closest loved ones.
Three years ago, Olga traveled from Russia to California to pursue a job opportunity. At the same time, Brett journeyed from Texas to California for the same reason. Though they both arrived in San Francisco looking for their dream job, they ended up finding so much more: true love. After a magical first date, the two fell for each other, but soon Olga had to return to Russia, separating the two for nearly three years. During this time, their connection and love only grew stronger with each day, and after all the months of waiting, Olga returned to get engaged to Brett. Within a month of the engagement, a wedding was planned and successfully and beautifully accomplished.
The Beltane Ranch wedding took place in Sonoma County at a female-owned and run historic winery estate, complete with a rustic home covered in lush rose bushes and ivy, creating an abundant garden in the background. This house seems to symbolize that both Olga and Brett have finally reunited and come home to one another. The couple is seen walking through this foliage and the trees, creating a serene nature element to their celebration with their closest loved ones. There were many unique shots of the flowers, trees, and even succulents in the area that were incorporated into the photography to create a raw beauty moment. The ceremony itself was held outdoors under a thick canopy of trees overlooking a vast valley, with the sun’s rays peeking through the leaves and a quiet gentle breeze setting the perfect scene. The video also included shots of the couple walking hand-in-hand down a country road. This road, in a way, seemed to symbolize that both Olga and Brett have traveled great distances to be where they are today, paving the way for the road ahead.
Choosing a Beltane Ranch wedding allowed Olga and Brett to create an emotional private ceremony with just a few honored guests, including Brett’s family and Olga’s sister, who traveled a great distance from Russia. This intimate gathering provided the perfect atmosphere for celebrating their love, including an emotional reading of their vows, a wedding capsule, a bottle of wine, and the couple’s written promises to each other. The video also featured separate shots of Olga and Brett preparing for the ceremony, with a voiceover of their vows, ultimately bringing them together to be joined forever.
The breathtaking setting of their Beltane Ranch wedding perfectly reflected Olga and Brett’s love story—one of patience, distance, and unwavering commitment. Olga and Brett, your incredible, moving story is truly one of a kind, and it was an honor capturing the first few steps on your journey ahead.
