Redwoods Elopement Packages
Lean into the moment. Let the feeling sink in.
Falling in love with the Redwoods is easy. Figuring out how to get married there is a different story.
Most couples come to me knowing one thing:
We want to get married in the Redwoods.
What you probably don’t know yet is how to get a permit, which locations are worth the drive, or whether that trail you saved on Pinterest is even a place you can get married.
I know that stuff so you don’t have to.
I’m a local Redwoods elopement photographer, and I help couples turn “we want to get married in the Redwoods” into an actual plan.
You don’t need all the answers before you reach out.
“We know we want the Redwoods” is plenty to start with.
I’d love to make the rest feel easy.

Instead of copy-and-pasting you into popular locations you see on the internet…
Let me show you places that will exceed your imagination.
Places where you turn to the person you’re with and ask, “Are you seeing this?”
Places with trees and mountains and soft breezes that make you say, “I can’t believe this place exists.”
The Redwoods are full of secret spots that are too special to share with just anyone. But it would make me happy to share them with you on your wedding day.
“She truly knew the area like the back of her hand and delivered on the goal of taking couple’s “off the beaten path” to have privacy on their big day.
What really spoke to us after our first time speaking with Bri was her expertise on the Pacific Northwest. Considering we live on the East Coast and had yet to visit out West, we were nervous to commit to someone who wasn’t familiar with the area we wanted to get married. Let’s just say that was NOT the case for Bri. She created the most detailed folder for us to have from the very beginning of the process with our elopement timeline, vendor recommendations, Airbnb and restaurant recommendations, you name it, she provided it.”
– Reilly + Brendan
I say “yes” just 18 times a year.
No two couples should have the same wedding day.
So why should they have the same ceremony location? The same timeline? The same experience?
That’s why I choose to photograph just 18 couples a year. It gives me the time to scout hidden locations that make you say, “this is it,” create personalized travel guides filled with cabins and restaurants you’ll never want to leave, and helping you dream up the kind of day you’ll still be talking about thirty years from now.
So instead of photographing as many weddings as I possibly can, I pour everything I’ve got into a handful of them.
I’d love for yours to be one of the 18 adventures I get to be a part of this year.
Now, allow me to roll out the red carpet for you (and by red carpet I mean stress-free planning, wildflower-lined trails, and hidden oases).

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…
This day — your wedding day — can truly go however you want it to go.
Wake up in a forest chalet to sunlight and the unmistakable scent of Juniper mixed with dirt. Take the pups on a hike. Hop in a helicopter for the views of a lifetime.
Hold your ceremony at dusk — feet in the grass, the love of your life standing in front of you. Promise yourself you’ll never stop seeking out wonder together.
When the sun starts to set, venture to the beach and trash your dress in the Pacific Ocean. Laugh together as the waves knock you over. Marvel at how beautiful life is.
And instead of planning out all the details, let me. One perfectionist to another, I know how tempting (and exciting) it can be to map out every single moment. But this is your wedding day.
You deserve to sit back and feel surprised by the magic of it all.
“We immediately canceled any plans for meetings with other photographers.
We cannot rave enough about Brianna (my mother is literally ready to book her for her own vow renewal). From our first discussion, my now husband was immediately sold on her and canceled any plans for meetings with other photographers.
Her attention to detail and ability to make every part of the process so personalized and special is something we will forever be grateful for.”
– Shannon + Brett
Here’s something you’ve probably never heard a photographer say…
The photos aren’t the most important part.
What’s important is that you two feel free and comfortable enough to be yourselves together on your wedding day. What’s important is to leave the stress and the logistics to someone you trust.
Which means…
It’s time to make your wedding to-do list your to-done list with one click.
Every elopement package includes the following:
Nature’s best-kept secrets in a location list researched just for you
Let me show you places that will exceed your imagination. I’ll take you on a Google Earth tour of secret locations, map out in depth options, and walk you through galleries of couples who had similar experiences. I’ve spent my entire career scouting locations off the beaten path.
It’s not just about finding a breath-taking location (that’s all the Redwoods are made of). It’s about matching you two with a spot that aligns with your elopement vision, and mapping out a journey you can’t wait to go on by using questionnaires, personality tests, and virtual coffee dates.
A customized timeline built around your most important moments
A dance with dad, a moment with mom, or a first look with your love. These are the moments that matter. Let’s plan for them in a customized timeline that takes into account not only the moments, but also the lighting, crowds, and everything in between.
Every recommendation under the sun to build the day of your dreams
Whether that’s a dreamy Airbnb in the forest, a makeup artist who will have you primed and prepped for hiking, or the best private chef who can cook you a decadent 3-course meal. This is the day to splurge. Let me show you what’s out there.
And if it’s adventure you’re after, I’m here to recommend the best activities to elevate your experience and make it as unique as you are. Let’s talk horseback riding, private picnics on the beach, or an unforgettable helicopter tour around the mountain.
Permits and marriage licenses
Whether you’re traveling 20 minutes or 20 hours to the Redwoods, let me walk you through the entire process of how to get a marriage license. And if a special use permit is needed, don’t sweat it. I’ll fill out the applications and send them in. On a day as special as this, let me do the heavy lifting.
Exclusive planning guides and resources
All tucked away in a digital library only accessible for you. Enjoy a 90+ page elopement guide to help you through the process, vow writing resources, packing lists, and more to help you be prepared for the adventure ahead.
And of course, perks for days
Complimentary officiant services, sneak peeks, album and print designs, and of course, an entire gallery of edited photos you can look back on forever and ever.
2027 Redwood Elopement Packages and Pricing
For your once-in-a-lifetime adventure
Two Day Elopement Experience – $12,200
Visit multiple locations, take that extra-long hike, spend one day celebrating with family and another just the two of you. Two days gives you room to do all of it.
This package is perfect for couples who want to make the absolute most of their time and is especially popular with couples inviting family or friends.
Full Day Elopement Experience – $10,400
My second most popular elopement package where there is simply too much to see and do on a short day.
This package is perfect for couples who want the full story of their elopement documented, from getting ready and the ceremony to dinner with friends and family, sunset portraits, and starry night photos. It’s also a great option if you want time to explore as many different landscapes as possible.
Half Day Elopement Experience – $8,500
MOST POPULAR
My most popular elopement package across the board. Eight hours is the sweet spot for couples who want most of the day captured, from getting ready and a small ceremony to a candlelit dinner and sunset portraits.
This package and anything above it can also be split throughout the day. Sunrise at one location, a long break in the middle, then sunset somewhere else? Now we’re talking.
Mini Elopement Experience – $6,500
This package is perfect for couples planning something simple and intentional. Four hours gives us enough time for a few getting ready photos, a short ceremony, portraits, and one or two nearby locations without stretching the day into something bigger than you want it to be.
Wait… can you just plan the whole thing for us?
Yep! My all-inclusive Redwoods elopement packages includes photography, travel, lodging, vendors, activities, permits, and more, so you can spend less time planning and more time actually looking forward to the day.
“Brianna is worth every. single. penny.”
“She made my dream elopement a reality.”
“We can not recommend her enough. Throughout the entire process she had such clear communication, providing us with various guides (vendor options), elopement guides, recommendations (all based off of what we were interested in), calls to get to know us and her better. She was everything we could have hoped for and more!”
“Brianna took the stress out of planning.”
“When you are planning on getting married, finding and choosing a photographer is one of the most anxiety-inducing aspects. Obviously, you want good pictures, but you also want to find someone that gets you. Brianna met all of our needs for our elopement. She really did her homework and made sure she fully understood our desires and our restrictions.”
“We consider ourselves lucky to have found Brianna.”
“She made planning our hiking elopement easy and fun. Our first choice location was unavailable (due to a fire), and not only did she alert us to this weeks in advance, she helped us brainstorm alternative locations. She helped us put our nerves at ease and happily hiked and photographed in the cold wind. We felt so comfortable with her.”
“She captured what was important to us.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Brianna! She was able to deal with an awkward couple who never takes photos and helped us navigate challenges we faced with our families vision for us and what we were wanting so that we were ultimately happy with our choices. She captured what was important to us, a slow day, our dogs and family.”
“10 out of 5 stars.”
“When you choose to elope, you make that decision because you want intimacy and an innate focus on your relationship. It’s hard to sum up the uniqueness of love in a photo (or 500) but Brianna managed to do that. Brianna is in love with her craft and it shows.”
“A location wizard.”
“After looking online, we were interested in eloping in Big Sur, but after meeting with Brianna, we decided to skip the crowds and head up more north. It was hands-down the best decision we made for our elopement. Brianna is a location wizard and skilled at what she does.”
“She gave our vision wings!”
“We are so thankful for Brianna! Before we got in contact with her about our elopement in the Redwoods, we were overwhelmed and frustrated. She gave our vision wings! She is professional, organized, kind, and very gifted at what she does. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“So happy we found her!”
“Brianna is amazing. She made everything a smooth process while also making it fun and engaging. She also scoped out great spots for the ceremony/photos and gave us suggestions and ideas for creating our perfect day, which we really appreciated for our elopement in the Redwoods.”
You shouldn’t have to rush through the best day of your life.
Why have an all-day elopement?
Short answer: less stress, more fun.
Long answer: good things take time. Imagine waking up and knowing there’s nothing on your agenda for the next day that isn’t something you love. You don’t have to hurry through any of it:
On your wedding day, you deserve to linger in the magic.
I know the options can be a little overwhelming. I’m here to help you make the right decision for you (not to pressure you into choosing the most $$$ option).

Every adventurer knows it isn’t about the summit
It’s about the journey: the laughs, high fives, and snacks you share along the way. As you plan your elopement, you deserve to find joy, excitement, and wonder in every step.
Step 1: Tell me what makes your heart feel alive
Maybe it’s kneading sourdough with windows open on a crisp autumn day. Or dancing in the living room together. Maybe it’s the moment when you stop on a hike and hear the wind as it rustles through the trees. As we plan your elopement, we start with a feeling. This is what makes life worth living. Let’s chase it.
Step 2: Meet the most special places I know
On your wedding day, you deserve to feel awe. Maybe there’s a place you and your partner have been dreaming of, and you know it’s where you want to say your vows, but you’ve never been before. You can count on me to guide you toward the best parts of that place (and, of course, to take care of permits and parking and all the logistics you shouldn’t have to worry about).
Step 3: Adventure in love
There aren’t really words that can communicate how special it is to marry your person in a magnificent, new place. I’ll have to just let you feel it for yourself, when you get here. (And when words fall short, photos speak.)
