Still on the fence and not totally sure that the Redwoods are for you? Totally get it! But I will say that having a forest elopement in the giant ancient groves of trees that give major Land Before Time vibes is not something you'll regret! Here are some frequently asked questions I often receive about how to elope in the Redwoods that can offer some insight while you're in the planning process. 

About Kierstyn

I'm a pro at helping people plan their elopement so we have all our bases covered with permits, timelines, locations, and I can even legally marry you! In my spare time I love to read, kayak, spend time outdoors, or snuggling up with my little family. Learn more here!

You don't want a lot of pressure and want to spend the day focusing on what truly matters: the love you share with each other!

Still not sure? Take it from them:

"Kierstyn made my elopement the most special day of my life. I don't know how to thank express my gratitude more. She made the process of getting married SO easy. From the second we booked her, she was a rockstar. She gave airbnb suggestions, florist suggestions, hair and makeup suggestions. You name it, she had someone to recommend. We originally thought we wanted to elope in Olympic National Park, but when I saw more of her work, I quickly fell in love with Artist Point. I could not be happier with her suggestion. We booked her a year out from our wedding day and over the course of time she answered countless questions, and would even talk books with me.

She made the day of our wedding so special. She was even able to get my notoriously shy husband to open up and be his silly self. Our pictures are so beautiful and I will continue to sing her praises to anyone that will listen. I didn't want the day to be over, not only because it was our wedding day, but because I wanted to spend more time with Kierstyn.

Thank you, Kierstyn, for making our day so incredibly special. You are so incredibly talented and an absolute rockstar. Working with you was one of our favorite parts of our elopement."

"If you have the opportunity to work with Kierstyn, do NOT hesitate!!!! From our engagement session to our elopement, she truly made magic happen; I’m absolutely in love with all of our photos and she captured the moment/our love exactly how I envisioned. It is so obvious she deeply cares about her work and about what you want out of your session; she truly goes above and beyond. Also, as soon as she walks in the room, you know you’re going to have fun. She made our elopement day feel more like a movie IRL than taking photos; seriously so much fun. Could not recommend her more 💞💞💞"

"Kierstyn is amazing! She let me be dorky, never made me feel anxious and got to know us as a couple. All of the photos were beautiful and nothing felt fake. Every photo makes me feel like I’m there and not in a generic wedding photo. Thank you for everything-even for entertaining my Julia Robert’s moment!"
