Lauren & Kyle’s Garden Wedding at Bernardus Lodge

There are few places in California that feel as effortlessly romantic as Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley. Surrounded by vineyards, fragrant rose gardens, and the rolling hills of wine country, it’s the kind of venue that feels timeless from the moment you arrive. Lauren and Kyle’s wedding was the perfect reflection of that beauty: elegant, relaxed, and centered around the people they love most.

I loved photographing every part of their Bernardus Lodge wedding , from the garden wedding ceremony, to the lively cocktail hour and stunning golden hour portraits in the vineyards, every part of their Carmel Valley wedding was unforgettable.

If you’re planning your Bernardus Lodge wedding or celebrating anywhere along the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel, or Carmel Valley, I’d love to hear about your vision!
