Northern California Styled Shoot

This styled shoot combines the best of both Northern California worlds – Avenue of the Giants and Trinidad State Park Beach. It offers the juxtaposition between the rich, deep forest and the open, salty sea. Both are equally beautiful and different. The invitation suite is earthy, cool, and mellow – perfect for this experience. Flower-designed pieces, light purple envelopes and amazing capiz shell place cards are a cohesive combination thanks to the stylish calligraphy.

The couple lean against a gigantic Redwood resting on its side. The bride’s gown is an ivory stunner with beaded embellishments from the neckline and straps to the waist. The groom sports a handsome blue suit that is complementary to the bride’s style.

With just the right angle of sunlight, the couple are illuminated in the dark forest. The shadows are foreboding but together they cast a certain brilliance as the rays shine upon them.

The fallen Redwood is so thick that the couple can stand completely inside of it, producing what is certainly a jaw-dropping shot.

They hold hands and make their way slowly out of the woods. As the thickness begins to clear, they hit the road to find a sunnier spot to shoot.

Finally, her carefree nature comes out as she runs along the shore. Fearless, she sits down and lets the waves come to her, gently splashing the bottom of her dress.
