Planning a Vintage Wedding at Green Gables Estate
We had the honor of being the wedding photographer and wedding videographer for this Green Gables Estate wedding in San Marcos for S + C.
S + C put so much thought into their wedding, from the dress to the speakeasy to the hair to the ring-bearer details. Every detail matched the vibe, and we had so much fun creating their wedding photos and video at Green Gables.
If you can’t tell from the photos, S + C’s wedding truly felt like a classic Hollywood film. Green Gables in San Marcos was THE perfect spot for their vintage wedding. The vibes were immaculate.
Green Gables estate has gorgeous gardens, greenery all over the property, historic architecture, and an in sane speakeasy. Literally, anywhere you go on the property will make a great spot for wedding photos.

To bring your cinematic vintage wedding to life, pay attention to details. Choose deep tones (burgundy is amazing), and elements like lace, pearls, and antique gold accents.
The details in your attire if you’re after a vintage wedding are so important. This bride had a gorgeous gown reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. The groom had pocket watches that screamed vintage. This couple nailed the vintage aesthetic for their wedding with their attire, the bridesmaids attire, groomsmen attire, all of it. The Hollywood waves, the clocks, the makeup.
After the ceremony, invite your guests to celebrate with you - vintage style. You could have a jazz or swing band, and encourage your guests to take to the dance floor. Signature cocktails of the past include a French 75 or a Moscow Mule.
Most importantly, if you want a vintage and cinematic wedding at Green Gables, hire a photographer (and/or videographer!) who specializes in capturing the timeless beauty of vintage weddings. They need to have a knowledge of lighting, eye for detail, and ability to tell stories- not just take photos. We would be honored to be your photo and video team.
