Destination Wedding at Acre Resort

There’s something undeniably magical about capturing love in a setting that is as enchanting as the story it envelops. This Berkeley Botanical Gardens wedding was a breathtaking affair that highlighted the serenity and beauty of nature in a luxury setting. As photographers at Wild Love and Wanderlust, we’re accustomed to creating visual poetry, but this Berkeley Botanical Garden wedding was like stepping into a real-life fairytale.

The Magic of Moody Weather

As we arrived at the Berkeley Botanical Gardens, the weather played a symphony of its own – moody yet perfect. The soft mist of the morning brought a mystical aura, enhancing the vibrant colors of the gardens. This weather, unpredictable yet beautiful, mirrored the journey of love – full of surprises and rich with emotions. It was the kind of day photographers dream about.

A Ceremony in the Redwoods

The ceremony site was something out of a storybook, nestled in the heart of the redwood groves. The towering trees stood as silent witnesses to Joe and Michaela’s vows, their leaves whispering in the gentle breeze. The light filtering through the branches created a natural cathedral, making every moment feel intimate and sacred.

Dining in Harmony with Nature

After the heartfelt ceremony, the celebration continued with a dining experience that seamlessly blended indoor luxury with outdoor splendor. The setting was thoughtfully designed to complement the botanical surroundings, offering a serene backdrop for the festivities. It was an ideal space for an intimate wedding, where every guest felt part of the couple’s special journey.

A Perfect Venue for Intimate Weddings

The Berkeley Botanical Gardens proved to be more than just a venue; it was the guests in the day’s joy. For couples looking for a place that offers both luxury and a deep connection with nature, this is the perfect choice. It’s a location where every photograph tells a story, and where every corner presents a new opportunity to capture the essence of love.
