Redwood Forest and Oregon Coast Elopement

This day was filled with sunshine and love. Steve and Sahny spoke their vows to one another in one of my favorite private groves in the NorCal Redwoods. From there we grove hopped a bit for incredible Summer light as the last of it filtered through the majestic canopy.

The end of the evening was spent just above the California border on the rocky Oregon coastline. A little bit of a hike over a waterfall, then the shoes came off on the beach. Some champagne, a walk in the sand and then a dance to their song.

Special thanks to my friend Branches and Vine Floral for the incredible bouquet and crown. I am always happy to transport florals in for your elopements from my local vendors I work with. I am so excited to announce that their image was chose for online publication for our win for top photographer in Oregon outside PDX for Oregon Bride Magazine this past year!

Here is a peek at our time together…

I encourage as always please leave no trace in our forests or on our beaches. If anything comes in with you please clean it up and pack it out.

Five Pines Bend Sisters Oregon Wedding Elopement

This Fall wedding day in Sisters, Oregon at Five Pines Resort was beautiful~

On a day filled with late golden October sunshine a small gathering of friends and family travelled over to Five Pines for a wedding. I love that there are often what I call “in area” elopements and small weddings. Where you don’t travel far but just enough. Where the setting is intimate. Where there is great love and little distractions.

The ceremony site was beautiful with tall high desert pines, touches of gold, yellow, white and oranges. Tiny white pumpkins lined the aisle and little tea lights were hung from the arch. Each detail was carefully arranged and there was local music by live musicians as well as the bride’s sister who sang to them.

Here is a peek at the wedding which brought together the families of Mr and Mrs Holguin~
