Getting Ready at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

Getting ready for your wedding at Estancia La Jolla feels like stepping into a serene retreat before the most exciting moment of your life. The spacious, sunlit bridal suites open onto private patios surrounded by lush gardens, offering a calm, picturesque setting for hair, makeup, and those sweet pre-ceremony moments.

There was room for their wedding party to relax, toast with champagne, and soak in the beauty of the perfect beginning to their forever.

From the olive tree-lined walkways to the lush Hacienda Garden, every space is dripping in beautiful natural light. Leslie & Angelo held their first look in the Garden Courtyard, surrounded by greenery, stone architecture, and of course, a lot of smiles. We proceeded with family and bridal party portraits and ended with beautiful, elegant romantics of just the two of them.
