🌸 Spring: A Love Letter To Nature
Spring at Vida Buena Farm is a love letter to nature—lush greenery, blooming flowers, and soft skies that photographers live for.
Picture this: a heartfelt ceremony beneath our 100-year-old oak, the grass beneath your feet, and wildflowers in every direction. The barn, wrapped in eucalyptus and florals, makes for a fresh, fragrant reception. Think airy linens, pastel accents, and cocktails served al fresco as the hills glow green.
