Weddings at The Camp at Carmel Valley embrace the beauty of nature and the spirit of togetherness. Once a historic summer camp, this venue has been reimagined as a gathering place where couples can celebrate surrounded by towering oaks, open meadows, and the soft glow of starlight.
Ceremonies often take place under the canopy of trees, where sunlight filters through the branches and creates a natural, cathedral-like setting. Guests are seated in an open clearing, listening to the rustle of leaves as vows are exchanged. When the sun dips low, the camp transforms into an intimate celebration space, with lanterns and string lights creating a warm glow. From campfire gatherings to starlit dances, every moment feels rooted in the landscape and designed for memory-making.
The Camp at Carmel Valley is more than a backdrop — it’s a setting that invites couples and their guests to immerse themselves in the experience. Bridal preparations in the rustic cabins, laughter shared over long wooden tables, and the joy of children playing in the open fields all add to the story of the day. Each element reflects the character of a place designed for connection and adventure.

As daylight fades, The Camp reveals an entirely new kind of beauty. The glow of the campfire, the sparkle of string lights, and the stars overhead become part of the story. This is where advanced photography techniques — like precision off-camera lighting — make all the difference. By blending natural ambiance with controlled light, we ensure your nighttime moments are captured with the same clarity, depth, and magic as the golden-hour portraits.
Every wedding here tells its own story: the laughter echoing through the trees, the vows whispered under the canopy of redwoods, the music and dancing that carry late into the night. Our goal is to preserve all of it — the sweeping scenery, the quiet exchanges, and the unplanned bursts of joy — in a collection of photographs you’ll return to for decades.
If you’re planning your wedding at The Camp at Carmel Valley, let’s create imagery that reflects not just what your day looked like, but what it felt like. Timeless, elegant, and unforgettable.
