An Emotional Cliffside Wedding at the Lost Whale Inn

Close friends and family hopped in a van and got to know each other really well on the road from Los Angeles to Humboldt for this California autumn wedding.

Trinidad, California

If you’ve ever been to Humboldt County in October you know that the weather can be temperamental. Fortunately, when it rains around here the result is moody and ethereal. However, when the sun shines you quickly begin to understand the meaning of “that California light” and this day was no exception. Couple that with well, this couple and you’ve got an emotional (here for all of the laugh crying) and honest celebration.

The Lost Whale is an absolute jewel box of a venue. Every season at this oceanside oasis has a uniquely Northern California beauty from the early spring blooms to the low sunsets in the late autumn gardens.
