This coastal soiree has all of the mood that a celebration set along the foggy cliffs of Northern California should. Thomas and Jaclyn, who live in the area, are old souls with a love of beautiful design and an equal love for the outdoors. The two literally began their wedding venue search with this term on Google: ‘wedding venue where redwood forest meets Pacific Ocean’, and that’s where it all took off. Melissa Gayle carefully captured their love with beauty and grace and you can experience it all below.
A fitting celebration with an intimate group of their closest 60 friends and family made the trek up the winding coast to see it all go down. Charm was in the architectural details of the breathtaking Ranch At Newport Inn, where they were married.
Flowers were inspired by local wildflowers (nothing too ordinary) thistle and earthy tones were incorporated into the arrangements.
Jaclyn and Thomas cared most about their people and wanted to show them what a relaxing 3 day getaway looked like in their eyes. Guests spent days touring the 2000 acre land share by ATV marveling at the redwoods and playing lawn games by day and snuggling by giant fires at night.
