You've set your hearts on the stunning California Redwood Coast - but planning an elopement seems daunting and overwhelming. Where do you start?
THAT'S WHERE I COME IN~
Hi I'm Brittany!

I know there's a lot of moving pieces, but I'll be here to guide you through the tougher spots and document the genuine, heartfelt moments of your day. I want you to be able to focus on what really matters - your experience, your love and your adventure!
ELOPE

Redwoods Elopement FAQ's
Do I need a permit to elope in Redwoods National Park?
Yes you do. First steps are to choose whether the park you want to elope in is on National Park or State Park land. There are different permits depending on which you choose. I can help you secure these permits - don't worry!
What if it rains? Do we reschedule?
Growing up in the PNW, I'm prepared to photograph in most weather conditions! Rain, clouds, fog, or snow are all possible if your elopement date falls between October and May. If the weather is putting on a show, it adds mood and a unique element to your special day. We'll embrace it!
Can I invite guests?
Guests are the best! That said, many parks have a maximum capacity for popular groves. I am happy to serve couples and up to 8 guests.
When will my photos be ready?
Within 5 days of your elopement date you will receive an email with a link to your password-protected online gallery. The gallery will come preloaded with a few sneak peek images (less than 10.) The remainder of your gallery will be uploaded within 6 weeks of your elopement date.
Do you offer wall art?
Yes! I truly believe that your images should be out in the world where they can be enjoyed. I offer handmade hardwood frames with archival matting to ensure your images are secure for years to come.
Can I share the link to my gallery with others?
Your gallery link and download pin may be shared with whomever you wish, as many times as you like while your images are available.
