Locations: Christmas Tree Farm in Los Gatos  – It’s such a darling location with Christmas trees, of course.  I’ve had families bring a big blanket with hot chocolate and all types of Christmas signage to make creative holiday cards. AND Bernal Historic Ranch in south San Jose – it has a cute old house, a chicken coup, a white barn, and a trail into the trees.  There are so many options. AND Fortino Winery in Gilroy – This is a third-generation family winery that sits against the lush mountainous backdrop.  It is my favorite winery and wedding venue! After your mini session, you could purchase some wine and sit in their outside dining area (weather permitting).
