Lotus View Ranch Wedding Photos: Scenic Pond, Rustic Barn Reception & Jaw-Dropping Mountain Sunset Session


There are venues that are beautiful… and then there’s Lotus View Ranch in Pilot Hill, California. As a Sacramento-area wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky enough to shoot all over Northern California, but when the Campbells booked me (Justin Buettner Photography) for their Lotus View Ranch wedding, I knew this one was going to be next-level epic. Why Lotus View Ranch is Every Photographer’s (and Couple’s) Dream Venue Tucked into the rolling foothills of El Dorado County just 40 minutes from Sacramento, Lotus View Ranch gives you three completely different jaw-dropping backdrops on one private 80-acre property:

  1. The Glassy Pond + Dock Site


    The wooden dock stretching over the pond is pure magic. The water reflects the sky and surrounding oaks, creating mirror-like images that make every ceremony photo look like fine art.

  2. The Massive Restored Barn Reception


    This isn’t just any barn. It is an original and restored with giant sliding doors that open to golden-hour views. Perfect for dramatic reception shots, sparkler exits, and everything in between.

  3. The Exclusive Private Mountain Sunset Session


    Hands-down the coolest venue perk I’ve ever experienced. Right after dinner, the owners personally drive the newlyweds up a private road in their 4 wheeler to the very top of their mountain. 360-degree views. Zero guests. Just you, your spouse, and the most insane golden + blue-hour light over the Sierra foothills. These portraits are frame-worthy, album-cover-worthy, and honestly some of the best images in my entire portfolio.

Lotus View Ranch Wedding From the emotional first look on the dock to dancing under the barn’s string lights, every moment felt effortless to capture. From the ceremony under a giant natural oak to the couples shots in the field which gave us that warm California glow bouncing off the pond and then straight into the mountain sunset adventure the wedding day was truly amazing. Let's not forget to mention the food too. Always a professional and elgant day at the ranch.
