Villa del Sol d’Oro Wedding Day in Sierra Madre, CA
Tiffany and Matt’s wedding was one of the most beautiful wedding days I’ve had the honor of photographing…hands down. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds at Villa del Sol d’Oro in Sierra Madre, I knew this one was going to be special. The venue feels like an old Italian estate tucked away in California, with the kind of warm rustic charm and lush greenery that photographers dream about. Every corner was full of texture and history, from the stucco walls to the ivy-covered arches. Add in a couple like Tiffany and Matt, who are stylish, kind, and madly in love? Unreal. They truly brought all the magic to their Villa del Sol d’Oro Wedding Day in Sierra Madre, CA.
Design That Felt Personal
The planner and design team seriously nailed it on this one. Every detail felt soft and intentional, nothing overdone or out of place. The color palette was romantic and earthy, and the floral installs added just the right amount of softness to balance the venue’s old-world energy! Tiffany and Matt cared about the vibe, but even more, they cared about their people. You could feel that all day long, from the quiet moments getting ready to the emotional toasts that had everyone teary-eyed.
A Ceremony That Stopped Time
The ceremony took place in front of the villa, surrounded by greenery and the kind of golden light that only California gives you. There was this quiet reverence to the whole thing. No rush, no noise, just two people committing to forever in front of the people who matter most. I found myself just soaking it in between shots because it was that kind of moment. Classic, elegant, and deeply personal. A once in a lifetime kind of moment!
Let’s Talk About The Vibes
The reception felt like a slow exhale, in the best way. Guests mingled through the gardens, wine in hand, while the string lights began to glow overhead. The design blended so seamlessly with the natural beauty of the venue that it felt like the entire space had been waiting just for them. There was laughter echoing off the walls, heartfelt speeches, and the kind of dance floor energy that just kept building. Matt and Tiffany were so present with their people, and it made the whole night feel grounded and joyful. It wasn’t about putting on a show…it was about celebrating what they’ve built together, and everyone there felt that.

Kind Words
“Chelsea made us feel comfortable and confident immediately!”
“My Fiance and I booked Chelsea for our engagement photos and we are SOOO in love with how they came out. Let me tell you, him and I were both very nervous for this session because we have never taken photos like this before and were worried about looking awkward. Thankfully, Chelsea made us feel comfortable and confident immediately, allowing us to step out of our comfort zone. This allowed her to capture our love so beautifully and we will cherish these photos forever. I picked Chelsea because of the beautiful movement photos she captures and I am happy that now we have those photos to look back on.”
