Creating Memories in timeless photos

With over 130 acres on our Main Property, and 40 acres at our Airplane Hanger, you can capture just the right photo to remember your big day.

Love on the Water

Our pond is nestled near the mountains, perfect for a wedding up to 200 people. The trees create a natural aisle that facilitates the bride’s big moment. Just a few steps away from the Pond House, the bride and groom stand center on our lovely pergola in full view of the water, with all eyes on them. The pond is our premier location for weddings in all seasons and is our most popular ceremony location. After the ceremony, our brides & grooms can take pictures on the small dock, right on the water.

Orchard Views

Embrace the mountain as you embrace each other. The Manzano Mountains are a beautiful backdrop to the apple orchard. Your love is entering a new stage of growth, and so are the mountains here. Enjoy the blossoms from late April to Mid-May, or Fall into each other’s arms during the apple harvest with changing leaves in Autumn.

Winter Wonderland

It may be cold outside but the fireplace and your hearts will be warm. Enjoy an intimate wedding and cozy up in front of the fireplace in the restaurant during your celebration.

ROmance in the trees
