For us, telling a love story through photo is about more than just capturing pretty pictures. It's about creating something that the couple can look back on years from now and feel like they're right back in that moment. It's about telling their story in a way that feels authentic and genuine. And it's about creating something that they can share with their loved ones, so that they, too, can see and feel the love that they have for each other.

In all its beauty, wonder and real moments, your story is there. We want to document the events, emotions, and adventures of the day the way that they unfold naturally.

Yes. Permits are required for ceremonies and vow exchanges in all areas of Redwood National and State Parks. You can access permit information here link. Please keep in mind that permits are non-exclusive. We can’t emphasis this enough—if you’re inviting guests/family, please tell. Couples are usually knowledgable of this rule, but we’ve witnessed many times, good-intentioned guests, tell people to move, leave, and disrupt other visitors with loud music because they’re uneducated to the non-exclusive use agreement.

Visitors are generally kind and considerate—if they see a wedding, they’ll likely be respectful.
