Josie & McLain’s Beautiful Forest Wedding at Lost Hill Lake
Love, Family & Flowers: A Fall Walnut Wedding Package
We loved celebrating Josie and McLain’s wedding day at Lost Hill Lake! Their August wedding brought 150 of their closest friends and family together for a beautiful afternoon and evening surrounded by the natural beauty of our Walnut Grove. From getting ready at Pinemark Guesthouse to their outdoor ceremony beneath the trees, every part of their day felt personal, thoughtful, and full of meaning.
A Few Favorite Details From Their Day
🌿 Walnut Grove Ceremony: Josie and McLain exchanged vows beneath the trees in our shaded Walnut Grove.
🌅 Golden-Hour Portraits: The couple slipped away for photos at Thinking Rock, the bridge, and other favorite Lost Hill Lake spots as the sun began to set.
🃏 A Guest Book With a Twist: Instead of a traditional guest book, guests signed playing cards for a fun keepsake.
📰 Personalized Guest Details: Newspaper-style programs, fans, koozies, photos, and thoughtful welcome-table details made guests feel right at home.
🕯️ A Candlelit Reception: Dozens of candles and more than 100 floral-filled bud vases created a beautiful reception atmosphere. Can you say, AMAZING!?
💃 A Full Evening of Celebration: After dinner, speeches, cake cutting, and special dances.
As a venue, we especially love weddings like Josie and McLain’s because they make the most of the entire Lost Hill Lake experience. Their day moved naturally from the Walnut Grove ceremony to cocktail-hour portraits, sunset photos, dinner, and a lively evening reception. With Pinemark accommodations, guest shuttles, beautiful outdoor spaces, and plenty of places for photos, couples can create a wedding day that feels like more than just an event, it feels like an experience shared with the people they love most.
