Our Story

We’re Nate and Leah — partners in life, in love, and now in this incredible adventure of building our tree nursery. For years, Nate’s world revolved around capturing wedding days through the lens of his camera. As a wedding videographer, he’s had the honor of preserving joy-filled, once-in-a-lifetime moments for couples across the seasons.

Over time, we found ourselves dreaming about what it would be like to create a space of our own to share with others — one where every moment of a wedding could be surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors. We wanted couples to feel the warmth of the sun, the glow of the sunset, and the magic of the stars without ever feeling closed off from nature.

That dream led us here: 59 acres including open fields, a working tree nursery bursting with seasonal blooms, quietly growing tomorrow’s shade and beauty. The tree nursery is a place of quiet growth, where saplings take root and mature into part of the landscape, ensuring the property becomes more beautiful with every passing year.

Together, we’ve poured our hearts into shaping a venue that’s more than just a location — it’s an experience. One where every view is a photograph waiting to be taken, and where the outdoors is as much a guest as the people you love. From the gardens you stroll through to the blooms in your bouquet, and even the trees lining the horizon, every detail is nurtured right here on the land.

Every tree we plant and tend to is part of that vision. We know that the land will keep evolving, just like the marriages that begin here. And we hope that every couple who chooses Solara Ridge will feel that same connection to something real, lasting, and alive.

Whether you’re saying “I do” under the wide sky, dining with a mountain sunset, or dancing under the stars, our mission is simple: to give you a space that feels alive, authentic, and unforgettable. This is a place where nature is part of the celebration — not kept outside the walls.
