Forest House Lodge | Katie & Bryan

Katie & Bryan got married at one of my very favorite venues, Forest House Lodge in Forest Hill, just outside Auburn in Northern California! From the dark, moody basement games floor to their tree-lined ceremony site overlooking the wilderness, to the great food and staff, this venue has a lot to offer. And Katie & Bryan made it their own!

The thought Katie put into the details was truly special! Have you ever seen such cool bridal details, like the custom bridal lipstick? Love that gorgeous Yves Saint-Laurent color!

Meanwhile, with the gents…

We all caravan in the June drizzle to the lush ceremony site overlooking the storm as merry guets arrived with umbrellas and high spirits despite the weather.

rain is good luck on your wedding day

We squeezed in some couples portraits before heading back to the Forest House Lodge for the lovely reception celebration.
