When it comes to unforgettable Southern California wedding venues, Padua Hills Theatre is in a league of its own. Nestled in the scenic hills of Claremont, this historic gem offers couples a magical blend of Spanish-style architecture, lush gardens, and exceptional service—all in one charming location. It's no wonder why it’s one of our favorite places to photograph weddings.


As a wedding photographer, the character and soul of Padua Hills make every frame glow with warmth and history. Whether you're walking the cobblestone paths or saying your vows beneath the centuries-old oak trees, you feel like you’re stepping into a storybook. Every corner of the property is photo-ready, with soft, flattering light and architectural details that elevate any wedding gallery. I've captured everything here—from intimate elopements to full-scale celebrations—and the versatility never disappoints.


Padua Hills Theatre is one of my favorite venues to shoot—not only because of its breathtaking views, but because of the genuine emotion this place brings out in couples. There’s just something about it - the intimacy, the history, the golden SoCal sunsets—it all combines to create unforgettable images. Most importantly, the level of customer services that the Padua event team provide is unmatched. They work hard to make every detail effortless. Their planning expertise and thoughtful touches give you the freedom to truly enjoy your day—something I always notice behind the lens. If you're planning your wedding here, congratulations—you're in for something truly special! Reach out to learn more about wedding packages.
