Summary

If you rarely find yourself traveling through the Caldecot Tunnel – that infamous mysterious tunnel that separates Contra Costa and the Tri-Valley area from the rest of the East Bay and San Francisco – then you may never have heard of Lafayette, let alone Wildwood Acres. This private estate is still family owned and operated. It sits five miles up a small road, hidden and tucked away in the quiet and serene wooded hills of the Las Trampas Wilderness.

Julie Mikos (a local favorite photographer) recently had the opportunity to capture this stunning couple who incorporated the tradition of “Something Blue” into their overall wedding design.
