This Summer’s Destination Wedding took place amongst the redwoods up in Santa Cruz, CA and it was magical!

We had the absolute best time traveling up North for Angela + Ryan’s destination wedding. The couple and wedding party were so fun, the venue was stunning and the moments were unforgettable. Everything was a dream. It reminded us, why don’t we do destination weddings more?! There is just something in the air about them. Ahhh. <3

The day began with fun moments in the cottages with the ladies getting ready. Oh, and let’s not forget the endless options for keepsake detail shots. WOW! Here are a few of our favs…

We are loving on their vow book!

“You are my greatest adventure. Love, Your Wife” – Such a thoughtful wedding gift for her groom!

The ceremony took place among the trees and it was intimate, beautiful, and tears of happiness were being shed by everyone…

After the ceremony, we got to have fun with portraits. And let’s be honest, it was a photographers dream at this venue! So. Much. Fun!

After portraits we rolled into an outdoor reception set during twilight. Talk about romantic!

So as you can see, this day was magical! The venue, Waterfall Lodge at Ben Lomond was a dreamy place to say “I Do.” Thank you Angela + Ryan for choosing us to capture your special day! It was unforgettable!
