An Old-Growth Engagement at Henry Cowell Redwoods.

How it went

Under the canopy at Henry Cowell Redwoods the light goes green-gold for most of the afternoon. We worked slowly because the place asks for it.

A relaxed ninety minutes. We walked the perimeter, found the angles that worked, and let the light do most of the heavy lifting. The couple loosened up after the first ten minutes and that's when the gallery really came together.

Most couples we shoot under redwoods say afterward that the silence was the part they didn't expect. The photos catch it.

The shoot
The whole shoot, not just the highlights

Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
