As a Placerville wedding photographer, I get to witness some of the most intimate and meaningful celebrations. This wedding, nestled in the heart of the Sierra foothills, was no exception.
The day began at the picturesque Eden Vale Inn. Here, the couple exchanged vows beneath a rustic pergola surrounded by their closest friends and family. Tucked away in the trees, this serene venue offered a peaceful and private atmosphere, perfect for their heartfelt ceremony. With lush green foliage, winding garden paths, and a tranquil pond, Eden Vale Inn feels like a hidden oasis. One of its best features is the on-site accommodations, allowing the bride and groom to stay just steps away from their ceremony space—making for a stress-free, easygoing start to their day.
After the ceremony, we wandered into a nearby field bursting with wildflowers and rolling green hills. It felt like we had stepped into another country entirely. Soft grass underfoot, golden light stretching across the hillsides, and the kind of natural beauty you can’t fake. It was the kind of portrait location photographers dream about, and these two looked radiant in it.
The celebration continued at the historic Smith Flat House, where guests were greeted with long farmhouse tables adorned with fresh local wildflowers. Each place setting featured a unique floral detail, adding a charming, personal touch to the romantic reception space. Golden chargers, candlelight, and handpicked arrangements brought everything together for a cozy, whimsical dinner under the wooden beams and soft spring light.
From the heartfelt vows to the vibrant hills and the beautiful, thoughtfully decorated reception, every moment of this day was a reminder of how magical a wedding in Placerville can be and what an honor it is to be a Placerville wedding photographer.
