Sonoma County redwood elopement wedding

Brooke and Shayan

The sweetest Sonoma County redwood elopement. Brooke contacted me a month before the scheduled elopement and asked if I would photograph their wedding. I was thrilled! After talking details, I quickly realized she was the easiest bride ever! She even asked if I would pick the time for the ceremony because they were planning the day around best lighting for photos…ummm, music to my ears!! She and Shayan picked Riverfront Regional Park with amazing redwoods and they only needed a permit for the ceremony. It was perfect! A small wedding with 18 people; their closest family and friends.

It ended up being an overcast day but this actually made the lighting even and pretty. The ceremony was so so sweet with tears of happiness and just an overall emotional day. I love watching other people’s love!!

Brooke’s mom actually made all of the floral arrangements herself with no prior experience. I could NOT believe it. They were all so so beautiful and I was obsessed with Brooke’s bouquet. So special and so gorgeous! Also, can we talk about all the doggies they included?! Omg, so so fun and cute!

I’m in love with these small wedding elopement photos and I hope you enjoy viewing them!

XOXO,

Hailey
