Rustic Sonoma Mountain Estate Wedding

We get to see a lot of dreamy days, but Nicole and Landon’s wedding was a highlight of the year, for sure. Cozy wine country vibes, a rustic-elegant setup, and so much romantic personalization, we just felt at-home. Held at the beautiful Mountain House Estate in Cloverdale, their fall celebration was the perfect mix of warm, welcoming, and wildly joyful.

PS: It won’t hurt our feelings if you stop everything and scroll to the sunset portraits with this couple braving the highway.  That is all.

 

So Many Favorite Moments

There was no shortage of fun at this wedding, Nicole shared what really made the day: “Being surrounded by our amazing family and friends, sharing the love and joy of the day. The whole atmosphere felt so special, and we’ll cherish those moments forever.”

 

 

And if you’re wondering who stole the spotlight… it might have been their cats. Nicole and Landon made the most amazing drink stirrers and photo booth cutouts featuring their three cats, and it was paws-itively adorable. (Yes, we went there.) Guests couldn’t get enough!

 

 

But above all the extras, a couple moments totally stole the show. “The rotating photo booth gave us the chance to capture pictures with everyone—such a fun and unique way to create memories with all our guests!” Nicole said.

And yep, there was also a vintage trailer photo booth (cutest thing ever) that was a total crowd-pleaser. Guests were obsessed, and honestly, so were we.

 

A Wine Country Vibe with a Rustic Twist at Mountain House Estate

“Our vision for the wedding was a blend of rustic and elegant charm. We wanted a country wine theme, with a classy vibe,” Nicole shared after the big day. And honestly? They pulled it off so effortlessly. Think soft, wildflower-inspired florals, vintage decor, wooden accents, and all those laid-back but totally intentional touches that make a wedding feel extra personal.

“We wanted the flowers to reflect the beauty of our location,” she said. The floral palette had just the right combo of soft neutrals and colorful pops, and the whole setup felt natural, relaxed, and so, so pretty.

The Food? A+ Across the Board

They really rolled out the red carpet with the food—and it did not disappoint. Guests were treated to tender steak, fresh salmon, savory potatoes, and colorful veggies. “The food was absolutely incredible and definitely one of the highlights of the day,” Nicole told us. “Every dish was perfectly prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented.”

 

A Fall Day Full of Love

Nicole and Landon’s wedding was exactly what we all really want when we envision a dream wedding: inviting, relaxed, and full of personality. From the rustic touches to the sweet chaos of two photo booths, custom kitty cameos, and a packed dance floor, it was the kind of day that makes you smile just thinking about it.

 

 

As Sonoma wedding photographers, it was such a joy to be part of their celebration and capture all the moments—big hugs, happy tears, and everything in between. Cheers to Nicole and Landon and their dreamy, fall wedding weekend at the Mountain House Estate!
