A Storybook Wedding in the Northern California Redwood Forest

Dana and Kristopher’s wedding was like something out of a storybook. Captured by Tony Fitzgerald Photography, the royalty-themed celebration set in the forest was inspired by Kris, who works in the service, and the bride’s family-owned property, Creekside Terrace, located in the picturesque mountains of Los Gatos, California.

Kristopher, in his handsome dress uniform, and Dana, in a beaded, lace gown, exchanged vows on the grand lawn, decorated with formal white floral arrangements, under a canopy of trees. An outdoor reception was held on the covered patio and rock-walled terrace adjacent to a 100-year-old log cabin among grand California Redwoods. The magical location was decorated in a gold, white and grey color scheme, with chandeliers, formal dining tables, luxurious furnishings, and Spanish stars lighting up the surrounding trees. The couple held an after-party at a nearby historic landmark, The Cats Restaurant and Tavern, where the guests lit up the night sky with sparklers to bid the couple farewell.
