I've been to many places but there's only a select few that truly feel like home and The Redwoods are one of those places..
California Redwoods
Why The Redwoods?
It's truly impossible to understand the grandeur of this place until you experience it yourself and getting married here is truly a one of a kind experience.
You're the foreign creature on this Prehistoric planet.
Your soft and squishy brown trail is surrounded by a fluffy blanket of bright green Western Sword Ferns and various berry bushes. Towering hundreds of feet above you are Redwood trees so tall that you have to bend your neck all the way back just to see their tops.
Splendid Blue Jays dart from tree to tree changing colors from black to electric blue when they hit the soft beams of sunlight that trickle through these giant, majestic trees.
Despite all the time I've spent out here, I continue to learn more about this incredible and unique ecosystem.
The Redwoods trails are also one of the most accessible trail systems out there. Many of their trails are wheelchair accessible so that you don't have to sacrifice your experience or your adventure to have the elopement you deserve.
