Getting Ready in Sea Ranch, CA
The getting-ready moments were intimate and editorial. We utilized nearby airbnbs for our models to get ready in just to show how similar the architect and design of these homes are. All of Sea Ranch, CA are designed around the same aesthetic as the lodge so no matter where you choose to go, it’ll have the same intimate coastal chic vibes.
The bridal models wore elegant slips—one in sleek satin, the other in a lace-collared classic. We also loved the dapper groom styles, in warm earthy tones that mirrored the cliffs outside.
Inside the home, clean lines and driftwood hues framed every photo. Natural light filled the rooms, adding soft contrast to the dramatic Northern California setting. There were endless nooks to capture quiet anticipation.
Wedding Details and Portraits Around the Property
Altogether, Sea Ranch Lodge offered the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern elegance for editorial detail shots. Gowns hung against the wood grain of the lodge walls, while flat lays featured organic accents styled into the coastal terrain.
This styled shoot was all about elevated simplicity—letting the space speak while layering in refined touches that feel deeply personal.
Ceremony Setup on the Coastal Shelf
This ceremony space, perched at the cliff’s edge, offered particularly panoramic views of the Pacific and a windswept grassy space that felt like a dream. However, this particular setup is no longer being offered by Sea Ranch Lodge. Going forward, ceremonies will take place to the left of the barn—still beautiful and still full of natural beauty and intimacy.
The eclectic mix of chairs and benches, styled with cascading florals and soft textures, created a curated moment that felt both editorial and eclectic.
Reception Table & Cocktail Hour Styling
From linens to florals, every element of the reception design reflected the surrounding landscape. The long white-linen banquet table featured layered textures, white floral centerpieces, and muted coastal tones.
The bar setup was also stunning. A vintage wood cabinet stood beneath a linen-draped pergola, styled with chunky candles and wild florals. All in all, it was the perfect blend of elegance and rustic edge—ideal for an intimate reception or full wedding weekend celebration.
Elopement Portraits Along the Clifftops
Then, the time came for the second couple to bring a poetic sense of intimacy to the styled shoot. They wandered the cliffs, exchanged vows at golden hour, all in all, embracing the full romance of this remote location.
Her veil danced in the wind, his suit was pulled from the coastal palette—and together, they made a case for Sea Ranch Lodge as the ultimate destination for an intimate elopement.
Sunset Portraits at Sea Ranch Lodge
Golden hour on the Sea Ranch coastal shelf is unreal. As the sun dipped lower, the cliffs glowed, the wind calmed, and the entire setting transformed into a cinematic dreamscape.
We finally ended the day with couple portraits near the rustic fencing, surrounded by rolling hills and ocean views. This is where the story of a wedding slows into stillness—and also where we get some of our most breathtaking views.
Sea Ranch Lodge Wedding Cost & Booking Tips
For weddings at Sea Ranch Lodge, pricing varies based on guest count, event spaces, and catering details. While exact figures will depend on your vision, couples can expect a luxury experience with an emphasis on natural connection, world-class service, and unforgettable coastal views.
