Dream Wedding Venues

By Rachel Garcia in destination wedding

Now, I think almost everyone has a 'Someday' wish list. You know, a bucket list of places they just HAVE to go to. Of course I have list like that. But I also have a wish list of wedding venues. No, not wedding venues for me - I'm a happily married woman! The wedding venues that I dream about are ones that I want  to photograph a wedding at! I love traveling to photograph weddings far and wide, it keeps me fresh and thinking differently. Here's the list of my dream wedding venues in the United States.

1) Paws Up Resort - Montana: I have been drooling over this place for awhile now. It's got all the romance of the old west - free and wild- while still being a luxury destination. Check out the glamping tents; they are amazing!

2) Junipero Serra Museum at Mission San Diego de Alcalá  - San Diego, California: I have a lot of family in San Diego and so I've spent a lot of vacation time there. I think it just may be my favorite city ever. I even had my first job in San Diego at Sea World the summer I was 16.  And as I rode the bus to and from work this beautiful old mission would stand out to me as we passed. Once I actually when up there I was in awe of it even more. With the picturesque Presidio Park and Old Town being just a stone's throw away, this is the perfect San Diego wedding venue!

3) NOAM Art Museum - New Orleans, Louisiana: A few years ago while touring New Orleans we visited the Art Museum and though I adored the featured art, it was the building and grounds that really stood out to me. So perfectly lush and charming, as only the South can be. I'm dying to shoot a wedding in this stunning venue.

4) City Hall - San Francisco, California: When you think City Hall, you think drab and dingy. However the San Francisco City Hall is anything but! I'd call it glorious, magnificent, regal; all without being presumptuous. If you want to get married in City Hall this is the place!

5) Boldt Castle - Upstate New York: Located on a little island in the St. Lawrence River, the Boldt Castle has seriously stunning views and gorgeous architecture!  Wouldn't a golden summer castle wedding in New York State be perfect?!

6) The Grand Hotel - Mackinac Island, Michigan: This little island is a dream, I swear! They don't even allow vehicles; so there are a lot of horse-drawn carriages running around. The hotel opened in 1887 and I just love the history of this place! Plus The Grand Hotel is the hotel from the romantic movie Somewhere in Time, an oldie but a goodie. It doesn't get more romantic than that.

Where does your dream wedding take place? 

Love, Rachel!
