Fort Bragg Wedding | The Inn At Newport Ranch
Beautiful Northern California Elopement [Sneak Peeks!]
The Inn At Newport Ranch is located in the small coastal town of Fort Bragg and it’s one of our favorite ocean view wedding venues in Northern California.
On the west side of the Main Inn and Redwood House you have the rugged coastline and on the east side (about a 7 minute UTV ride) you’re immersed in old growth Redwoods. The juxtaposition of dense green forest and open ocean cliffside is amazing.
Michael and Susanna’s Fort Bragg Elopement was intimate, inspiring, minimalistic, and beautiful. Only their parents and Michael’s brother attended which made it so relaxing and chill - which we loved!

Preps took place at the Redwood House where Susanna and both mom’s were in traditional Korean dresses called Hanbok.
From there we took a couple of UTVs and made our way to “The Forest”, a 7-8 minute ride on forest roads into the mountains for the first look.
After the first look bride and groom session we rendezvoused back at the Main Inn to grab the family and take the UTVs to the wedding ceremony site situated on the rugged coastal cliffside.
We ended our Northern California Elopement with a sunset dinner, a few speeches, and some bride and groom portraits overlooking the ocean views.

History About This Coastal Fort Bragg Wedding Venue
The Inn At Newport Ranch Wedding venue has a unique history behind it:
“Our story begins differently than most. Before The Inn at Newport Ranch, there was Newport — a small town that sprouted around a logging community in 1865. When the industry left town two decades later, its inhabitants went with it. Farmers soon took their place, constructing numerous buildings on the abandoned land. One of those was a two-story house; today, some 100-plus years later, the bones of the old farm house form the core of our newly-constructed Inn.” - www.theinnatnewportranch.com
