Who are Redwoods Elopements For?
People who want the biggest day of their lives to be stress free.
Planning assistance from a local photographer means you can focus on dreaming instead of stressing.
The logistics, paperwork, and stress?
Leave that up to me.

Sometimes the most free and safe you feel isn't when you're in a building or surrounded by other people.
Eloping allows you the space to feel without the pressures of prying eyes or putting on a show - all while surrounded by incredible landscapes.
People who want to celebrate their marriage with a unique wedding experience
Your wedding shouldn't be about your photos but about the experience.
Couples who choose to elope choose to start their life with more than a party - they chose a one of a kind experience.

Meet Your Redwoods Elopement Photographer
Hello hello, I'm Gabbi!
Your elopement day is about SO more than just photos - It's about your experience. If you focus on your experience, the great photos will come.
The state of Oregon is so special that I moved across the country just to call this incredible place home. From towering trees, to stunning coastlines, alpine lakes, and snow capped mountains, I can't wait to share this place with you.
About Me
Eloping is for the bold & untraditional.
Let’s be honest - Redwood National Park elopements aren't exactly traditional.
Your relationship is one of a kind - your elopement should be as well.
You can spend the day exploring moody remote beaches, wandering through moss covered old growth forests, or spend the paddling crystal clear calm rivers.
How do you want to feel and what memories do you want to remember when you look back on your day?
As your Redwoods adventure elopement photographer, I’m here to provide you with the knowledge, expertise, and support you need to have the day you deserve.

" Gabbi is an amazing person and photographer. She was SO patient in helping me pick a location and made us a personalized location guide so we could choose the best location for us and our day. She answered all of my questions and timely too! The goal was "little people big trees" and she struck gold. She made me and my husband feel super comfortable during the shoot. We got to be ourselves and have it captured in pictures. These are photos we will cherish forever, and Gabbi I cannot thank you enough for that!!! There was not a single photo in our gallery that I wasn't in awe of. If I lived in California I would seriously get her for anything that I needed photographed for like forever. Seriously not a penny would ever be wasted on her skills! BOOK HER!!"
Beth & Paola
"Gabbi is so talented, kind, and genuinely cares about not just the art she makes but the people she works with. I last minute wanted elopement photos to capture this time with our dog who was diagnosed with cancer (we sadly didn’t have much time to make it happen), and not only did Gabbi respond so quickly and eagerly take on the photo session with less than a week’s notice, but she treated us like family and had such a warm presence. I felt like she really understood and captured our love for each other, our sweet pups, and the beautiful setting we picked! It’s evident being a photographer is far more than just a job to her. Highly recommend!"
Kristi & Anthony
"The pictures that Gabbi took were far beyond our hopes in capturing our very intimate day. I can’t say enough good things about the exceptional customer service and highest level of professionalism. When the ceremony was done, we felt like our photographer was part of our family! We couldn’t be happier with the results."
