Why I Love Terra Mia Vineyards for an Outdoor Romantic Wedding Day
As a wedding photographer for the last 16 years, I’ve had the joy of capturing many, many weddings- and a Terra Mia vineyards wedding never disappoints.

Best Time of Year to Get Married at Terra Mia Vineyards
Spring and fall are especially magical at the Terra Mia Resort and Wedding Venue. The weather is temperate, the vineyard views are lush, and golden hour feels extra dreamy. Summer weddings are beautiful too—just plan for heat in July/August and consider offering parasols or chilled drinks pre-ceremony.
Fall brings golden vineyards and rich light, which photographs beautifully- I think this is the best season for a Terra Mia vineyards wedding. Winter weddings are less common but can still be intimate and cozy with thoughtful styling.

Brooke and Billy’s wedding day was full of romance, elegance, and heartfelt joy—and yes, it was also the hottest day of the year in Paso Robles! At a scorching 112 degrees, nothing could stop this dreamy celebration, which started with a traditional Catholic ceremony and ended with a magical summer evening under the stars at Terra Mia Vineyards.

This wedding was a beautiful blend of timeless tradition and personal elegance. From Brooke’s delicate lace designer gown to the soft, feminine floral palette, every detail radiated romance. Her pink Manolo Blahnik heels added the sweetest touch of style. And despite the summer heat, Brooke and Billy were glowing with love and joy all day long.
