Here are some things I don’t offer. Arbitrary limits on the number of photos. I select out any duplicates, test shots and the like but other than those you get every photo we create together. There’s no unedited photos here. Every shot you recieve is edited to look its very best. No extra fees for light retouches. So don’t worry about that awkward van gleaming in the sunlight in the background, or the surprise pimple on your wedding day. Your photos will look their best. And as added peace of mind, your online gallery will be up forever so you can always download the original high resolution photographs when you want. And just to be extra safe I keep two backup copies of them as well.

When to GO
The Redwood parks are accessible year round. It can be cold and wet in the winter but the lushness of the forests can really make up for it. And it’s less crowded to boot so that's a win win. That said, if you're planning to do a lot of hiking, May to September might be the best time.
How’s the Weather?
Bring layers, the northern coast has diverse weather. It can be cold and foggy in the morning, warm in the afternoon and rain in the evening. And there’s always the chance of rain.
What to do
With three state parks and a national park in the area there are no shortage of amazing hikes through the woods. High up on my list of places to check out would be Fern Canyon and the Enderts Beach!
Where to stay
You can fly into Arcata-Eureka Airport and find accommodations in numerous hotels there, or head further north to Crescent City depending on which Redwood park you’d like to visit. Or check out AirBnB for some fantastic cabins in the woods.
