Romantic Autumn Elopement with a Touch of Mood

Lost Hill Lake’s Natural Fields provide a moody and mysterious elopement locale, highlighted by rustic candlelight

Setting up this styled shoot was so much fun! Lost Hill Lake's woodsy, natural fields are a hidden gem, waiting to unveil their charm to those in search of a distinctive elopement location. As you wander through the enchanting woods, you'll find yourself surrounded by tall, majestic trees, their leaves rustling in the gentle breeze, before stepping into the golden open field. The short venture creates an intimate and secluded atmosphere that's perfect for your romantic elopement.

The essence of a moody elopement lies in the atmosphere it creates. For this styled shoot, Lost Hill Lake's woodsy field was transformed into a realm of mystery and allure as twilight settled in. The subdued lighting created an intimate and secret atmosphere, perfectly capturing the mood photographer, Brittany Reed was looking for.

Candlelight is the key to setting the mood for this romantic affair. Picture a pathway lined with flickering candles leading to your elopement spot, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. White chiffon hanging from branches adds an ethereal touch, while a draping of string lights overhead casts a soft, starry glow. The contrast between the darkness of the woods and the warm, golden light of the candles creates an enchanting and timeless setting.

This is just one of the hundreds of ways Lost Hill Lake’s unique spaces can be transformed. How will you set your stage? Our coordinators (included with every package!) can’t wait to help bring your vision to life.
