I've got your back.
You’re dreaming of an elopement that feels like you. Unrushed, connected, and adventurous.
A day where you can breathe, explore, and be fully present with each other among the ancient groves.
I eloped too, so I know exactly how you’re feeling. You’re excited, overwhelmed, and hoping you’ll make the right choices in a place you might not have even visited yet.
What you want is simple: a day that feels like you. A day that is relaxed, intentional, and full of meaning.
I know your elopement isn't some posed photoshoot... that's why I help you create a deeply meaningful experience that will allow you to be fully present with each other while exploring the Redwoods.

"She provided amazing insight and guidance for our entire elopement, from recommending a wonderful Airbnb for us to stay in, suggesting places that could cater a small reception, and even helping us navigate the marriage license process, timelines, and travel ideas. Her experience and organization made everything feel simple and seamless.
We could not be happier with the service she provided, and honestly, meeting her was such a wonderful part of the experience itself. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, organized, and genuinely cares about your day, Desiree is absolutely amazing."

Explore a nearby beach
Dip your toes in the ocean
End the day having fun on the beach
Did you know the California Redwoods are just a quick 40 minute drive from the Southern Oregon Coast? I highly recommend combining these two epic locations in a full or multi-day elopement. Check out how a full-day elopement combining the old growth forests and epic coastal views can look.
I recommend starting to book around 9 months out so we can ensure there is enough time to secure your preferred locations, vendors, and activities. Running on a shorter time frame? No worries, just reach out and we can start planning ASAP!
I typically provide 50 - 70 photos per hour of active coverage. Don't worry, I only edit out duplicate photos or ones that don't meet my standards, so you are getting all of the special moments from your day.
A lot of couples opt to hike in their wedding attire. However, it can depend on what you are wearing and how difficult the hike is. Sometimes couples opt to change once they reach their location. Regardless, you'll need comfortable shoes and if you're hiking, I always recommend good hiking boots!
No worries! I provide elopement photography services for the entire US and even some international locations! You are welcome to book with me no matter the location you are considering. Please feel free to still reach out!
Yes! You can have up to 15 additional people at your elopement ceremony and celebration. If you would like to include more people in your day, however, I would recommend Redwoods photographers who specialize in weddings.
The Redwoods are one of the few elopement locations that isn't super dog-friendly. The trails do not allow dogs in order to help protect the local flora and fauna. If you're wanting to include your dog in your elopement and still have access to beautiful old growth forests, I'd recommend the nearby Oregon Coast instead!
