Redwood Forest Elopement

Stylish redwood forest wedding in Arcata, California

This stylish redwood forest wedding was a joyful celebration of Kat & Mari’s commitment to each other.

The Arcata Redwood forest filtered the late autumn light that makes Northern California such a magical place to exchange vows. Both Kat and Mari had spent time in Humboldt previously and were enamored with the redwoods just blocks from downtown Arcata.

Pro-tip The Arcata Community forest is something of a hidden gem in that easy parking mixes with towering redwoods in the heart of a small Northern California city.

I adore redwood elopements for couples interested in images that don’t follow a script. From the first inquiry, wedding portraits on Moonstone Beach were especially important to Kat and Mari.
