We had a wonderful start to our wedding season a couple weeks ago with Dawn & Casey’s intimate early morning garden wedding ceremony at Crystal Hermitage Gardens in Ananda Village, followed by a beautiful reception at Harmony Ridge Lodge in Nevada City.  Both events were breathtaking!    The gardens at Ananda are a beautiful place for an intimate wedding- overlooking the Yuba River with vast views across the Sierras, and I always love heading up to Harmony Ridge Lodge’s lush gardens!

Here’s peek at their sun-kissed Sierra wedding day!
