"A fairytale brought to life" - that's the only way to describe the enchanting wedding celebration of Amanda and Kyle at Chalet View Lodge. Captured in breathtaking detail by the wildly talented Logan Alexander Photography Co., every frame of the day feels like it belongs in the pages of a high-fashion bridal editorial.
Set against the sweeping backdrop of towering pines and whispering mountain breezes, this celebration was a harmonious blend of elevated elegance and garden-glam romance. Let's just say - if you've been dreaming of a wedding that fuses nature's raw beauty with high-style sophistication, prepare to be seriously inspired.
The Paper Goods: Romantic, Refined & Just Plain Gorgeous
It all began with the most delicately illustrated invitation suite - featuring floral etchings in soft gray tones that perfectly echoed the wild, unstructured florals of the day. Paired with a nature-scape liner, silky ribbons, and a vintage ring dish, the flat lays alone deserve a spot on your mood board. Every detail whispered timeless romance.
The Glam: Soft Glow + Hollywood Waves
Amanda was the vision of bridal beauty - her look radiated effortless glow. With skin kissed by golden light and eyes adorned with a soft shimmer, her bridal glam was all about enhancing her natural beauty. And can we talk about that hair? Long, luscious waves cascading over her shoulder with a subtle half-up moment - bridal perfection.
The Groom: Classic Meets Cool
Kyle looked beyond dapper in a tailored black tux, topped off with a statement boutonniere (hello, fresh greens and moody florals!). We're obsessed with the cool confidence he brought - sipping a cocktail at the bar before the "I do's," he embodied old-school charm with a modern twist.
The Ceremony: Nature as the Cathedral
Held under a canopy of pine trees, the ceremony site was draped in lush florals and dreamy grasses in a palette of ivory, sage, and lavender. Soft pampas, queen anne's lace, and blooming delphiniums lined the aisle, creating a feeling of walking through a meadow in full bloom.
The modern acrylic arch, adorned with a swath of flowing white chiffon and a lush greenery garland, framed the couple with minimal effort and maximum impact.
The Portraits: Cinematic Moments, Forever Memories
From the forest floor to the wide-open meadows, every portrait felt like a still from a romantic film. Whether wrapped in each other's arms under a golden sky or walking hand-in-hand through sun-drenched fields, Amanda and Kyle exuded intimacy, connection, and that unspoken magic between two soulmates.
(Also - that veil! The lace-edged cathedral veil trailed behind Amanda like a storybook page come to life.)
The Reception: Al Fresco Enchantment
Dining under a canopy of gauzy white drapery and string lights, guests were treated to an open-air dinner party that felt like a secret garden soiree. The tablescape featured soft neutrals with accents of forest green and ivory - grounded by wooden textures and velvet green pillows in the lounge.
And the cake? A mossy green dream complete with etched details and cascading orchids - cut under the stars by the newlyweds in full-on party mode. Amanda changed into a jaw-dropping, feathered mini dress (obsessed!) and the celebration continued well into the night.
The Afterparty: Feathers, Fizz & Full-On Fashion
As the sun dipped behind the Sierra pines, Amanda slipped into her second look - and let's just say, the bride came to slay. Her after-dark ensemble was the stuff of fashion fantasies: a sheer, crystal-drenched mini dress with fringe-like feathers that shimmered under the glow of candlelight and camera flashes alike. Paired with oversized shades and sparkling hoops, her look screamed high fashion meets high fun.
Kyle matched the vibe with classic black tie cool, and together they served nothing short of red carpet energy. From lipstick touch-ups to sabering champagne, every moment oozed confidence, connection, and couture-level glam.
The couple toasted with a crystal tower of bubbling champagne (hello Gatsby-core!) before Amanda danced barefoot under the stars, glass in hand and joy radiating off every sequin. If the ceremony was a dream, the afterparty was pure editorial edge meets iconic celebration.
These unforgettable images by Logan Alexander Photography Co. captured it all in moody black and white and flash-lit color - the perfect mix of timelessness and It-girl energy.
