California Photographer, Alyn Stafford

I think one of the best kept wedding venue and reception sites secrets in Riverside (Inland Empire) is Thatcher Manor in Gavilin Hills, Riverside, California. This southern colonial estate home is wrapped with gardens and greenery that provide many opportunities for great wedding photography. From the front facade of the colonial home to it’s interior and spiral staircase and the gardens where the bride and groom walk the isle, you can’t go wrong here.

Thatcher Manor is one of my favorite wedding locations to photograph. I think any photographer would actually fall in love with the location. I don’t think you can go wrong. And no, I wasn’t paid to write this blog. I truly think the location provides the bride and groom great photo opportunities. I’ve included some sample images from Thatcher Manor from a recent wedding I photographed.

The only disadvantage to the location is the amount of time they allocate. It’s about five hours of time they offer for the site. So it’s best to hire a wedding photographer who is familiar with the site to get the most out of your wedding pictures.
