Redwood Forest and Oregon Coast Elopement

This day was filled with sunshine and love. Steve and Sahny spoke their vows to one another in one of my favorite private groves in the NorCal Redwoods. From there we grove hopped a bit for incredible Summer light as the last of it filtered through the majestic canopy.

The end of the evening was spent just above the California border on the rocky Oregon coastline. A little bit of a hike over a waterfall, then the shoes came off on the beach. Some champagne, a walk in the sand and then a dance to their song.

Special thanks to my friend Branches and Vine Floral for the incredible bouquet and crown. I am always happy to transport florals in for your elopements from my local vendors I work with. I am so excited to announce that their image was chose for online publication for our win for top photographer in Oregon outside PDX for Oregon Bride Magazine this past year!

Here is a peek at our time together…

I encourage as always please leave no trace in our forests or on our beaches. If anything comes in with you please clean it up and pack it out.

Redwoods Maternity Photography

"She was one of the rare ones, so effortlessly herself, and the world loved her for it." ~Atticus

A walk in the Redwood Forest with this beautiful momma to be was absolutely magical. I was just about to post a model call for maternity when I stumbled upon Maya...30 weeks along and glowing. More to this story to make it perfection is that just not long ago I had photographed her wedding in the Redwoods as well. 

I chose to keep a more natural vibe on these...neutrals and softer greens with lots of natural light falling through the canopy.
