Jedediah Smith Redwood Elopement

Elopement
Written By Flora Gibson

Emily and Austin eloped at Jedediah Smith Redwoods this week in California. With a private ceremony surrounded by massive redwoods, they continued on to have a beautiful first dance on the beach, followed by a picnic surrounded by my favorite feature, beach grass. They made custom cocktails, ran on the beach, and had such a beautiful day crossing back and forth between the Oregon and California border.

If you’re wondering what to do for your engagement photos—you’re not alone.

Most couples come in saying:
“We want something natural… but we have no idea where to start.”

The truth is, the best engagement sessions aren’t built around poses.
They’re built around experiences.

At Flora Gibson Photography, I approach engagement sessions like a quiet story unfolding—something you step into, not perform.

Here are ideas that will help your photos feel like you.
