Harmony Ridge Lodge Wedding

As a wedding photographer and videographer duo, my husband Lee and I have been lucky to work at some of the most beautiful venues across Northern California. One of our favorites is Harmony Ridge Lodge! Every time we step onto the property, we’re reminded why we love it so much. From the peaceful atmosphere to the stunning forest views to the sense of calm it offers couples on their big day, it’s such a hidden gem. Let us show you why a Harmony Ridge Lodge wedding might just be the perfect option for you!

Why do you love working at Harmony Ridge Lodge?

Harmony Ridge Lodge holds a special place in our hearts. It’s tucked away in the Tahoe National Forest just outside Nevada City, California. It’s a woodsy wedding venue that strikes the perfect balance between peaceful seclusion and easy accessibility. The scenery is breathtaking, and the quiet charm of the surrounding area is unmatched.
