Wedding Photography by Wade Snider
Camino, California
Silverthorn Meadows is tucked in the Camino foothills surrounded by pines, open lawns, and a private pond that actually adds to the vibe instead of feeling like a gimmick.
The layout is clean. There’s a wide lawn for the ceremony, a big tented area for the reception, and plenty of space to move without feeling like you’re walking forever in dress shoes. It’s quiet, relaxed, and has just enough structure without being overly manicured.
Light filters through the trees in the late afternoon and wraps the whole place in a warm, soft glow. The pond reflects it. The maple trees throw color. You can shoot here any time of year and get something real.
I know how to use the space without overdoing it and where to go for portraits that actually feel like you.
If you’re getting married at Silverthorn Meadows, let’s make it look as good as it feels.
