If you've dreamed of saying your vows beneath towering ancient redwoods, Avenue of the Giants is one of the most breathtaking places in California to elope.
Running through Humboldt Redwoods State Park, this scenic 32-mile drive winds through the largest remaining old-growth redwood forest in the world. The combination of massive trees, fern-covered trails, quiet groves, and easy accessibility makes it one of Northern California's most iconic elopement destinations.
You can elope in a private ceremony surrounded by a cathedral of redwood trees. After your ceremony is complete, I can show you what else the famous Humboldt County has to offer. Looking for an adventure of a lifetime? Humboldt County is one of the most beautiful places on earth. My house is 5 minutes from Humboldt Redwoods State Park and the famous Avenue of the Giants. It’s a quick trip to the beautiful mountain ranges of the Lost Coast and beyond. There are also amazing stretches of rugged beaches full of large, powerful rocks that have stood the test of time- just like in the movie, The Goonies!
We won't be far from the famous black sands beach of Shelter Cove; the tiny sea-side home of Northern California’s most remote coastline. No overcrowded beaches here! There is nothing like a black sand beach and a beautiful sunset to make a wedding dress pop! To the north are more majestic redwood trees, as well as the popular beaches of Trinidad State Beach, Moonstone Beach, Patrick’s Point, and Wedding Rock. There is no shortage of amazing hikes and locations!

Honestly? Any dress looks beautiful in the redwoods.
Flowing dresses photograph beautifully among the giant trees.
Simple dresses also look good.
A dress that you can move easily in is your best option.
Comfortable footwear is a must.

Overcast days often create the most beautiful Redwood photos.
Midday is not always bad in the Redwoods because the forest naturally diffuses harsh sunlight.
Some groves can be crowded while others remain surprisingly quiet.
The best locations often aren't the most famous ones.
Weather can vary dramatically between the coast and the forest.
As someone who lives and photographs here regularly, I help couples choose locations based on lighting, season, privacy, accessibility, and the overall experience they're hoping to create.

Your elopement doesn't need to follow a traditional wedding timeline.
Some favorite ways couples celebrate include:
Picnic in the Redwoods
Think:
A simple toast on your AirBnB Porch Swing
Local charcuterie
Fresh flowers
Cozy blankets
Champagne or sparkling cider
A relaxed picnic is a beautiful way to slow down and soak in the moment.
You can elope in a private ceremony surrounded by a cathedral of redwood trees. After your ceremony is complete, I can show you what else the famous Humboldt County has to offer. Looking for an adventure of a lifetime? Humboldt County is one of the most beautiful places on earth. My house is 5 minutes from Humboldt Redwoods State Park and the famous Avenue of the Giants. It’s a quick trip to the beautiful mountain ranges of the Lost Coast and beyond. There are also amazing stretches of rugged beaches full of large, powerful rocks that have stood the test of time- just like in the movie, The Goonies!
We won't be far from the famous black sands beach of Shelter Cove; the tiny sea-side home of Northern California’s most remote coastline. No overcrowded beaches here!
