Redwoods Elopement Photographer
Adventure to the edge. Grab your partner’s hand. Take in the view.
You know that feeling you get when you see the ocean for the first time?
Your breath leaves your lungs.
You get the sense that the universe brought you here, to this golden moment in time. Your partner wraps their arms around you in a hug. You make eye contact and mouth the word, “wow.” But you don’t even have to say it. You both feel it.
What if you could feel that way on your wedding day?
Here’s what the rest of the wedding industry doesn’t want you to know…
Your dream day doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s.
Whatever you want to do is exactly what you should do. And I just so happen to know the best spots in the Redwoods for all of the above…
“Brianna’s ability to make every part of the process so personalized and special is something we will forever be grateful for.
From our first discussion my now husband was immediately sold on her and canceled any plans for meetings with other photographers. Brianna has a heart of gold and is knowledgeable and efficient. We never felt rushed or staged – it was all very natural and we truly feel like we can look back and say we enjoyed every aspect of our special day. There were so many small moments she captured for me that mean the world. Our only regret of the day was not getting a photograph with Brianna as well.”
– Shannon + Brett
There’s nothing like the feeling you got the first time you two locked eyes.
The instant magnetism, belonging, and butterflies.
I bet you’d never felt more alive.
That same inexplicable magic of “love at first sight” is what the Redwoods are made of. No matter how much you hear about it, it’s impossible to understand the magnitude until you experience it for yourself.
I’d give anything to experience the places that made me fall in love with the Redwoods for the first time again…
…and I’m guessing you live for moments that make you feel that way too.
(You and I have that in common, which is why I’m so excited to show you the Redwoods at their best.)
(I’m Brianna, btw)
Can I tell you something I know about you? A hunch? An intuition?
You don’t take any of this for granted. Life, I mean.
This is your one wild and precious shot at it, and you want to experience it to the fullest.
Sometimes, that means staying in, building a blanket fort, and watching Netflix.
Other times (like right now), it means booking a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Redwoods to marry your favorite person.
If the ferns/beaches/redwood forests are calling your name, go ahead…
(I promise you won’t regret it.)
“It seems cliche but it was the best day of our lives. I don’t think we could’ve had what we had without Brianna’s meticulous planning.
When we first started planning our wedding, it was a mess to be frank. I pride myself on being organized and a planner, but even this was out of my element. It was so easy working with Brianna, she sent us so many useful resources and all the vendors we ended up using were from the curated list she sent us. Through her questionnaires, she was able to send personalized locations that really captured what we were wanting on our wedding day.
The day of our elopement was stress free and perfect.”
– Abby + Faran
I’m Brianna, and I didn’t discover the Redwoods on Instagram.
I grew up here. Redwoods in the backyard and all.
I know this area in a way that’s hard to learn from Google Maps. I know where the tourists stop, where they don’t, where you can see the elk, where you can have a ceremony in peace, and where to get the best burger afterward (it’s Elsie’s Eatery).
When you hire me as your Redwoods elopement photographer, you’re not hiring someone who flew in for the weekend.
You’re hiring someone who knows home.
And if you’re traveling across the country, across the state, or even from the next town over, you deserve someone who knows exactly how to plan it right.
I’d love to help you do it well.
Enjoy the view. Kiss each other’s faces. Leave no trace.
Elopements allow us to explore some of Earth’s most beautiful places. We can honor that by keeping those places beautiful. (Don’t know what the heck I’m talking about? Learn more about Leave No Trace principles here. I stand for public lands protections.)
Shhhh. Don’t tell the other couples…
These are the prettiest places to elope in the Redwoods.
“I easily went with her over the thousands of other Redwoods elopement photographers
I couldn’t recommend Brianna more! The reason I decided to go with her over the thousands of photographers I could have picked from is because she curates your elopement experience based on you and your future spouse.
She plans the locations, suggests vendors, creates a timeline for your day, and actually gets to know you. I wanted my elopement to be stress-free, and Brianna provided just that. I was so relieved when she sent over a list of locations to choose from after we completed a thorough questionnaire.
She truly knows the area like the back of her hand, and being guided through a place we had never been to before by an expert was incredibly comforting. She even went out of her way to hold my rented flowers at her place since we couldn’t have them delivered to the Airbnb.
And talk about the photos. I’m a photographer myself, so I definitely care about quality, color grading, posing, lighting, and overall feel. Her photos deliver. If you want images that highlight the landscape and the beauty of creation around you, while still centering the two people getting married, she is perfect.
I love how her photos focus on the couple while also telling a story of the environment they’re in. The mountains, the trees, the bodies of water, it’s truly a unique photo experience.
If you’re thinking about booking her, stop thinking and just do it.”
Here’s how this whole thing works.
From a Redwoods elopement photographer who’s hiked the groves, handled the paperwork, and helped 50+ couples get married here, here’s how the process works.
Step 1: Don’t be a stranger
Maybe you already have a trail. Or maybe you don’t. Maybe you’ve been to the Redwoods 100+ times. Or maybe it’s your first. Whatever you’re experience/vision/idea is, I’d love to hear it.
Fill out my contact form where you can schedule a call or email to talk all things trees.
Step 2: I handle the logistics
After booking, I’ll send personalized location lists, handle permits, build some timelines, recommend trusted vendors, and more. My process is built to support you from first inquiry to final gallery, so you’re never left guessing.
Whatever your idea is, I’d love to help you bring it to life.
Step 3: You never want it to end
And then… you’re there.
Standing beneath the trees, wind in your hair, and hands in each other’s.
I’ll just have to let you feel it for yourself, when you get here. (And when words fall short, photos speak.)
