Pastures of Grace Spring Wedding Styled Shoot

wedding photo collage with western vibe at pastures of grace wedding venue

Gazelle, California

If you’re looking for a wedding venue with a country western vibe and epic views of Mt. Shasta, then Pastures of Grace is the venue for you! I had the honor of participating in a wedding styled shoot there and I was in awe. They have a beautiful big red barn that is used as the reception area and also a more rustic barn that was awesome for portraits. The getting ready space was a really cool tent structure with a couch and as many cowhide rugs as you desire. I loved every bit of it!

Beyond the epic scenery this venue has, is the cause behind this hidden gem. The owners have dedicated their lives to help young women who are struggling through life. Booking your wedding here helps support their cause! You can read more about it on their website HERE. It’s a beautiful work they are doing and I sure hope I get the honor to photograph several weddings up there! They are located in Gazelle, California which is about an hour and half away from Redding. It’s a beautiful drive!

So without further ado, here are my absolute favorite photos from this stunning Spring Wedding Styled Shoot!
