Romantic Elopement Amongst California’s Redwoods

If you have ever underestimated the beauty of elopements, today’s feature will make you think twice.

After cancelling their larger wedding due to COVID, Dana and Shannon decided to pack their bags, head to Northern California, and tie the knot.”We flew our photographers and videographers from Florida with us to celebrate our day. We hired an elopement planner to help make our day seamless,” mentioned Dana. And seamless it was!

The pair spent part of the morning together cozied up by a fire before slipping into their gowns for a first look beneath the trees. With the redwoods tall above them, they exchanged vows in Stout Grove then headed to Fern Canyon for some beautiful portraits. Image after image their connection shined as authentic as the scenery behind them. But wait…it got even better!

With the sun setting and waves crashing, they ended their day sharing moments together at Falling Rock. And let’s just say these are some of the prettiest golden hours photos we’ve ever seen!

If intimate weddings and nature settings are your thing, you’re going to adore everything about this beautiful celebration.
