Summer Wedding at Highlands House | Santa Cruz Photographer

January 5, 2024

If you’re looking for a wedding venue in the forest, we’ve got options. I met these two for a first look in the redwoods near Roaring Camp. We took a small hike up to the redwood grove where they saw each other for the first time, and then we got to make some natural and candid portraits together. Roaring Camp is an amazing wedding venue in the redwood forest, so it was exciting to spend some time there. Next we went to Highlands House which is a Santa Cruz County venue, and it has everything. We got to enjoy a beautiful outdoor dinner in the lawn under the pine trees before moving inside for cake and dancing.
