We are Catholics, vows go to god not to the person. The lady was too busy buying shoes online ..literally the whole time talking to her she was buying high heels on her computer. In our wedding day, at the end she says "do you guys want to say any vows" we both said no that it's okay, and she persist saying "anything at all" in a way making it uncomfortable and not love as in we didn't have any vows and just wing it. That really annoyed as but we didn't want to ruin our day. She reminded us we only had a couple of minutes and that she had another couple waiting .. what the.. we just end up going to the front paid her what was needed and got out of there. I do not recommend this place.

Leaning Oaks Ranch was a perfect venue for my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding! With 150…read moreguests invited, the setting was great for the 100+ attendees. Landscaping in the front area where the ceremony and most bridal party pictures were taken is beautiful. The plants offered greenery and a beautiful array of fall colors for the occasion. We were terrified that we might get rained out, but Barbara (owner, proprietor, sanity savior!) had connections to vendors offering tent options but assured us we would be okay without said tents after scouting the weather and staying in constant contact with us. (She was 100% correct) We then moved from the picturesque ceremony area to the back for the reception. This also did not disappoint. There was a good flow to the venue between the bar, the food serving, the tables for dinner and visiting with guests, to the Gazebo and dance area. It was cozy for guests but never crowded. The staff was attentive and extremely helpful...our guests wanted for nothing. I was pleased and impressed with the professionalism and hospitality at the wedding and reception. Leaning Oaks was completely accommodating and helpful every step of the way. For a wedding, you simply don't want to leave things to chance; the day is just too important. It felt like the staff were ready to meet our every need and offer suggestions when needed. I can honestly say that the guests, family, and the bride/groom were 100% satisfied with Leaning Oaks as a venue and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a local, outdoor, beautiful, and professional venue. We worked with Barbara and Keith to get everything we needed dropped off the day before the event so that set-up was a breeze the day of the wedding! Positive communication was a huge key to this very successful event. My daughter and son-in-law now have amazing memories they can look back on for the rest of their lives and smile. Choosing Leaning Oaks took away much of the stress of planning a large event and an important day! (More pictures will be added as they are received...)

She's creative, artistic, friendly and she genuinely cares about your event. Since we started working with her, I've had 3 other friends hire her, and everyone says the same thing. I could never imagine using anyone else for anything. We've taken the next step and asked her to be our photographer for life.

I got a quick response and was abele to schedule my newborns photos for the following week which was nice since it was very short notice on my part. Her studio is located downtown across the street from Mexicali. She was very sweet and super professional. She was so careful with my newborn and took her time wrapping her and picking out props. She also did not mind the feeding breaks or diaper changing breaks. She knew how to handle my baby very well. She was also super affordable. She has all the props so no need to bring any unless you would like to. I will continue to use Trinity for more family photos. She truly did an amazing job. My photos came out beautiful I couldn't ask for a better outcome. If you're looking for a photographer who is kind, sweet, and amazing at what they do she's your person!

She was still able to capture beautiful pictures outdoors and make sure I was safe and comfortable. I was also able to have her take family photos which I was nervous about because I have a very energetic two year old and a sometimes fussy 11 month old, but she was patient and creative with my little ones and still able to get great photos of our family despite a few baby tears and a toddler trying to escape every moment! You can tell she loves what she does, puts a lot of time and effort into her business, and cares about her clients, I highly recommend her! Thank you Janaye!
