Charlotte and Nathan’s Boulder Ridge Golf Club Wedding was a celebration filled with romance, elegance, and meaningful details. Overlooking the rolling hills of San Jose, this luxurious day brought together dusty blue tones, elegant greenery, and heartfelt moments that perfectly reflected their love story. As a Bay Area wedding photographer, it was a dream to capture the beauty of their setting, their thoughtfully curated details, and the genuine connection they share.
Charlotte and Nathan are true college sweethearts, and their wedding day was the culmination of years of love, laughter, and building a life together. They began their morning surrounded by their closest friends, getting ready in a luxury Airbnb that set the tone for the day—relaxed, joyful, and brimming with anticipation.
Before the ceremony, they shared a private first look by a serene pond. With sweeping views and quiet seclusion, it was the perfect spot for them to exchange a few tender words and calm the nerves before saying “I do.” The emotion in their faces was undeniable—Nathan’s expression when he saw Charlotte in her gown was nothing short of pure joy.
The ceremony itself was as heartfelt as it was beautiful. Under an arch draped in greenery and soft blooms, Charlotte and Nathan exchanged personal vows that had guests both laughing and tearing up. Their words were a testament to the bond they had built since their college days, and hearing them promise forever with the sweeping views of San Jose in the background made for an unforgettable moment.
The design of the day centered around a palette of dusty blue and elegant greenery—a timeless combination that elevated the natural beauty of Boulder Ridge Golf Club. Bridesmaids wore dusty blue gowns that complemented the clean white florals and lush greenery used throughout the décor.
Inside the reception, tables were adorned with flowing greenery runners, flickering candles, and touches of blue woven into the place settings. The effect was both sophisticated and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for guests to dine, laugh, and celebrate.
There’s something so special about a Boulder Ridge Golf Club Wedding. Nestled high in the Almaden Valley hills, this exclusive venue feels like a hidden gem above the bustle of San Jose. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by panoramic views of Silicon Valley, rolling fairways, and a refined clubhouse that blends modern elegance with natural charm.
The ceremony terrace is one of the highlights of the venue. Perched to take full advantage of the sweeping views, it provides a romantic setting that needs very little added décor—though Charlotte and Nathan’s greenery arch elevated the space beautifully. Couples can exchange vows while overlooking endless hills and valleys, creating a backdrop that’s as breathtaking in person as it is in photos.
Inside, the grand ballroom features vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. The open layout allows for a seamless transition from cocktail hour to dinner and dancing, with plenty of room for both intimate gatherings and large celebrations. As a Bay Area wedding photographer, I love how every corner of the venue offers a picture-perfect opportunity—from golden hour portraits on the greens to sparkling nighttime city views.
Another highlight is the outdoor terrace and patio space, which provides a relaxing atmosphere for cocktail hour. Guests can sip champagne and mingle while enjoying the expansive views, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.
Charlotte and Nathan’s guests especially loved watching the sunset from the terrace as the valley below began to glow with city lights. It was a magical reminder of just how special this venue truly is.
