Mountain Weddings

Mountain Weddings

A mountain wedding has romance at its core. There is nothing like standing in high elevation, surrounded by the beauty of nature. The only thing that makes this setting better is when you are with the love of your life. On, and also, when you are enjoying your wedding!

We photograph mountain weddings in San Diego and beyond. So if you are thinking about getting married in a mountaintop wedding venue, you are not alone. When you exchange vows in the crisp air, in rustic surroundings, you will truly feel connected to one another. With vistas that stretch for miles, and amazing panoramic views, your wedding will be one to remember.

Use flowers and organic elements to get that wow factor

When you are tying the knot with mountains all around, it is best to include natural elements. After all, you don't want to bring in exotic flowers that look strange in a mountain setting. Instead, it is better to make use of indiginous varieties such as sunflowers and wildflowers. These will make your wedding photography look stunning and sophisticated.

Beyond just bouquets, you can make use of local plants and flowers in other ways. For example, take some of your favorite native blossoms and hang them with strings above the reception tables. Not only will this create a unique setting to amaze your guests, but it will also give your photos a pop of color. Other elements like leaves on the card table will provide a cohesive look to the wedding. Pair these natural decorations with design details such as tapered candles and mason jars.

To go one step further, try adding other green plants such as succulents. These are available in different textures and shades, which make them perfect for a mountain wedding. They can be used throughout the venue, including centerpieces, boutonnieres and bridal bouquets. In short, the versatility of succulents will be a great addition to your entire wedding décor.

The perfect rustic venue for your mountain wedding photography

To bring out the ambiance of your mountain wedding, look for a venue to match. For example, choose a space that has wood paneling, or where dinner can be served in a converted barn. There are a few of these venues around San Diego, meaning that your mountain wedding can be brought to life without even leaving town.

As an added bonus, a rustic venue creates a warm and nurturing environment for your wedding guests. It gives them the feeling of adventure and escape, like a vacation. The entire atmosphere will be welcoming and heartwarming, which will take the event to the next level. Your guests may even want to stay the night at a nearby lodge or hotel! So, be sure to let them know ahead of time about accommodations in the area. If they fall in love with the location, they may never want to leave.

This is true also for family members who live far away, and are unable to make it. Once they see your mountain wedding photography, and how impressive your wedding was, they will want to come see it for themselves!

Romantic colors to bring out your mountain wedding photography

As mentioned, flowers will be a big part of your mountain wedding photography, and a way to bring out your theme. This can be carried through both during the wedding ceremony and the reception. For example, a beautifully rustic centerpiece on each table, featuring freshly cut flowers, will add color throughout the room. And for the ceremony, why not have a custom floral archway? These are just a couple of ways to use flowers to your advantage at your mountain wedding.

You can bring out colors in other ways, in addition to the florals. For rustic indoor venues, use linens with deep hues, such as wine and crimson. These will help to offset the gray of the stone or tan of the wood in the building materials. You can also use wooden candle holders and place rocks in decorative formations on the table tops. Couple this with elegantly mismatched china and you have yourself a magazine-ready wedding reception. It will certainly be ready to photograph by our creative San Diego wedding photography team.

Signage with a natural vibe

At many mountain weddings in San Diego, you will find chalkboard signs of different sizes to inspire the décor. These can be used in welcome areas, or to help guests find their way to the venue. You can even use them throughout the reception to show the different menu items on display. A hand drawn and decorated sign is perfect for a mountain wedding ambiance.
