Cielo Farms Wedding Photography
Set on more than thirty acres in Malibu's wine country, Cielo Farms pairs modern architectural design with panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific beyond. Lulan Studio photographs weddings across the estate's stone barn, open-air terraces, and vine-lined lawns.
Why Couples Love Cielo Farms
Couples are drawn to the minimalist, architectural feel of the property set against rolling vineyards and hundreds of olive trees. Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception can all take place on-site, so guests never have to leave the estate, and the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains give every angle a dramatic, uncluttered backdrop.
Getting Ready at Cielo Farms
With no minimum guest count and flexible spaces across the property, couples can use the estate's rooms and terraces to get ready on-site, keeping the wedding party close to the vineyard and mountain views all day.
Couple’s Session
The estate's thirty-plus acres give us vineyard rows, olive groves, and open-air terraces to work with for portraits, all within a short walk of each other. Market lighting and natural wood accents throughout the property add warmth to golden-hour images, while the Santa Monica Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for wide shots.
Wedding Ceremony
Ceremonies take place in the garden spaces on either side of the stone barn, both set against vineyard rows and mountain views. The two garden areas can be combined to comfortably seat up to 200 guests, or couples can choose a single side for a more intimate ceremony.
Wedding Reception
Receptions can move into The Barn for smaller weddings of around 30 guests, or spread across the vine-lined lawns and open-air terraces for larger celebrations. On-site parking and valet accommodate up to 100 cars, and the venue's team works with Trés LA Catering on menu design for every reception.
