Elope in California’s Sequoia National Park -Tree Giants
Allow me to suggest a top contender - One of my favorite elopement spots!
Hello! I am happy you are here, and I welcome you! I often get asked what my favorite elopement spot is; it's a HARD question - and my answer is always, "I don't know." There's so many."
Let me start with one of my favorites: Sequoia National Park.
I am "that person" who wants to help couples find the perfect atmosphere for their wedding day. Stay true to who you both are and what speaks volumes to you.
So why choose me over the hundreds of other photographers to capture your day? Experience—I have been doing this for 15+ years, and I love nothing more than an adventure with a spontaneous and well-thought-out day! I also embrace all the in-betweens confidently and professionally. Personable - I am your person if you like coffee, music, food, the arts, being silly, and knowing how to have fun or making, painting, and creating anything!!
There is no right or wrong way of doing any of it! If you want to get tattooed rings instead of traditional rings. Hit up your favorite grocery store, ice cream spot, or zip line through the mountains. I will be right by your side, helping you make it happen! I will celebrate YOU and your LOVE in the most authentic and cherished way, and that will be your lifetime story to tell over and over.
Remember :
*Before you begin your journey, do some homework and discuss with your partner to decipher what elements, activities, locations, and atmospheres are most important to you.
*Research and secure all necessary documents, such as marriage licenses, passports ( if needed), permits, etc. This must be done in advance, as permits and legalities always take time. You can find information about obtaining a permit for Sequoia National Park
*Selecting vendors who align with your vision will make your experience much more significant. So let's say "We" have established a strong connection, and you feel confident in our compatibility, collaboration, and personalities. I will ask you all the necessary questions and, if needed, repeat them for clarity to ensure we are on the same page regarding your preferred location and vision. If necessary, I will provide valuable advice on permits and the advantages and disadvantages of different seasons for public places. Additionally, I will suggest the most suitable times for photography and recommend all the vendors required to bring your vision to life. I will try my hardest to make what you envision will happen, as long as I do not have to bungee jump with you; that's where I draw the line! Haha.
My first Sequoia National Park Elopement was with a couple from Nashville, Tennessee (pictured throughout), who wished to marry amidst the redwood giants in Sequoia National Park. With the help of amazing creative vendors, we were able to make their dream come true. They start their day at their hotel and then drive to their desired special tree.
They exchanged their vows under the massive Sequoia canopy, opting to include their traditional native American Vase Ritual in their ceremony. They continued to explore the pathways amidst the giants. Later, we traveled to Kings Canyon National Park for more stunning imagery and enjoyed a peaceful picnic just the two of them.
I have been back a few times since, but I wish to go more often.
Like most or ALL National Parks, they can get quite crowded with tourists; consider Sunrise Ceremonies and weekdays for fewer crowds.
If you're considering eloping, I hope this inspires you. My all-inclusive elopement packages, which are entirely customizable to suit your needs, offer a similar experience with trusted professionals and even more.
