Weddings
Tehama Golf Club | Adriana & Jeff
Adriana is a luxury jeweler and designer, and her wedding to Jeff carried that same eye for beauty in every detail. This was a day built around the people they love most, family, friends, and the clients who had become friends over the years, all gathered for a simple, elegant celebration on top of a hill. The kind of day where you can feel how intentional every choice was.
They married at Tehama, Clint Eastwood's private club perched above Carmel. The name comes from a Native American word meaning abundance of nature, and that is exactly what it is. The Spanish-style clubhouse and its terraces look out over Point Lobos, Monterey Bay, and the rolling Santa Lucia Mountains, with more than eighty-five percent of the land left wild and open. There may be no more breathtaking hilltop to say I do in all of Carmel.
The palette was timeless, navy and soft blush against crisp white florals and greenery. Classic, refined, and completely Adriana.
One of the most beautiful moments of the whole day was Adriana's first look with her children. There is nothing quite like watching a mom share that with her kids before she walks down the aisle. It set the tone for everything that followed.
The ceremony was deeply emotional, exchanged right there on the hilltop with the mountains stretched out behind them and their people close enough to feel every word. Happy tears all around.
Then came the celebration, the two of them glowing, the wedding party out on the lawn with those endless views.
Inside the clubhouse the party kept going, a beautiful dinner, the cake, the first dance, and a live band that kept the floor packed all night. There was even a vintage truck and the most gorgeous golden-hour light.
Adriana and Jeff, thank you for letting me capture a day so full of love, family, and joy. Tehama gave you the most stunning backdrop, but the two of you are what made it unforgettable.
